First major speech from Trump after winning the election and he still sounds like a major Buffoon he is not ready to be president
Sounds like he thinks he is in a small dark comedy club doing a set. The first time Trump gives a speech in front of the UN when 20 other countries are watching and he cracks these lame jokes he will offend a lot of people and the result will not be pretty. I hope he really limits his time in front of tv cameras speeches are not Trumps strong suit.
Finally! An unfiltered Leader...
Totally understandable to the common man & woman. Not some intellectual puppet, trying to sell snake oil!
He sounds like me... I can relate. If you are trapped in your box, I could not blame you for being judgemental of those different than you. How shallow can you be?
The job market greatly improved under Clinton. Tonight Trump kept talking about NAFTA and then used figures from 2000. NAFTA was signed into law in 1994.
He knows that his followers don't give a rat's behind about facts, so it doesn't matter what figures he throws at them. Trump and Pence gave a multi-billion $$ corporation even more millions. I don't see how that is helping anyone, since the working class is going to end up paying for it. Again, I am grateful for the jobs that were saved, but he used taxpayer dollars to do it, which is just the opposite of what he promised to dco.
I think you may have dropped something there. He was comparing manufacturing employment in 2000 with 2015.
I don't much like them for a variety of reasons, but incentives for business are pretty standard. Ones that save jobs, or increase employment, are a lot easier to justify than those which just drop business costs with no jobs or tax revenues on the back end.
Yes, I heard that. However, that isn't what I was asking.
By the way, not all minorities live in the inner city. Also, many Muslims and other people of Middle Eastern descent have been harassed and they are also American citizens.
I don't care about their feelings. What are they doing there to begin with?

Yes, but that is the what Trump campaigned against, isn't it? Didn't the Republicans block Obama's job initiative bill that offered incentives in 2012? Trump said that he would never do this and impose high taxes and other penalties on these companies, not give them lots of money to keep jobs here. He kept saying Democrats were stupid for giving tax breaks to companies who wanted to send jobs overseas.
No, I didn't drop anything. Significantly more jobs were lost under Bush than Clinton. Also, many of the countries to which American jobs were outsourced were not part of NAFTA. Trump said on the campaign trail that China is responsible for nearly half of our entire trade deficit and China is not in North America.
He gave 50+ speeches while running to be president and they did not improve one bit they seemed to get worse as it got closer to November June to November were worse his worst speeches
Now...now..Let's be more positive.... okay? He has not even been sworn in yet. Give this wonderful, amazing, talented president of ours, a chance to blow your socks off! The most beautiful day of your life will be: At noon on January 20, when Donald Trump will take the Oath of Office and be sworn in as America's 45th president.
I found what he said about Carrier in April. Now he's letting them send over 1,300 jobs to Mexico and paying them millions to do it. He said "THERE HAS TO BE CONSEQUENCES" He said he would "TAX THE HELL OUT OF THEM" The plan to keep 850 or so jobs is just artful deception to excite his base.
