It was a great speech. Even greater when you consider he appears to be fighting a cold.

Its kind of funny he mentioned the DEA statistics from 2017 (which only point more to this agency being in collusion with the drug cartels).

He needs people around him the pull that off, especially a rally size crowd.

I kind of agree with GeerHeadDave that Trump won't get his funding and then who the Hell knows what this crazy man will do next.
Eventually he will get the money (its just the question of how long its going to take), Democrats wont let this go on for months and months, in the end, they will hand him the money.

Yes, if this shut down goes into months and months, eventually the tables will turn and people will start to blame the dems for refusing to give in.

I don't believe it. The only thing protecting Trump is McConnell and I believe McConnell will grow weary of this before the Democrats do. McConnell doesn't care about a wall. He cares about political self-preservation and two Republican Senators are already in revolt.

Republicans are solidly in support of Trump. Democrats are solidly opposed to Trump.

That is where we stand right now. Marvelous impasse.

It was so obviously scripted, deadpan, un-emotional that it just might qualify for the worst delivery ever.
Low energy, Lyin' Trump.


Sad!
