Donald Trump

Taking the power Washington DC has acquired(illegally) and giving it back to you, the people....
POWERFUL!


DC has been screwing you, the people. That stops right here and right now.....
POWERFUL



Your rights come from GOD, not man or men, and certainly not Washington DC.......
POWERFUL

I liked the speech because the use of fewer unique words, allowed Trump to focus on a few strategic ones.

A few keywords that he used

america 19 (4%),
all 14 (3%),
american 11 (2%),
again 9 (2%),

well, I would be lying if I say that I am not a little bit scared or concerned because Trump is unpredictable and he doesn't seem like a "let's work together" type of person to be completely honest.

But this said, What Trump did was acknowledge that we are fully-empowered citizens and that government will, return to working with us and for us rather than over us. (if this is the case, than bravo)

I am hopeful, at the same time, scared.

I found his speech uplifting. It's a new day in America. The sun has come out. The gloom is gone. I wake up in the morning and am optimistic. I am energized. I am no longer depressed. I see a bright future.

Already, he has accomplished much. Federal regulations are going to be rolled back. These regulations have been a stumbling block to everything that would contribute to growth and prosperity. They have been treated in the past almost like Scripture; one dare not touch them. It would be like blasphemy to question or roll back any of them. Thus, the Federal Register keeps growing and growing. Businesses devote as much if not more time to understanding and complying with regulations than they do in developing and building products.

If you were one of the DC corporate whores seated behind him when he called out all the corporate whores in DC, yes, you would likely be insulted.


There's a new sheriff in town!


Suck it up establishment pigs!

Get real. While there are few inner city Chicago and Detroit type examples, there are alls sorts of cities that are doing just fine.

Some states have indeed lost their manufacturing jobs. Times have changed. Technology and automation have eliminated a lot of manufacturing jobs. Those jobs are gone forever. Thousands of jobs have been coming back over the last several years as automation and technology makes American labor competitive again.

"Sixty thousand manufacturing jobs were added in the U.S. in 2014, versus 12,000 in 2003, either through so-called reshoring, in which American companies bring jobs back to the U.S., or foreign direct investment, in which foreign companies move production to the U.S., according to a study from the Reshoring Initiative."Record number of manufacturing jobs returning to America - MarketWatch

Life rolls on, just as it always have. When there were no jobs in the south, people moved north. When the dust bowl hit, people headed west. When jobs on the iron range in Minnesota dried up, people moved to Alaska where the work was.

It's not carnage, it's the way the world works. Things change. Life rolls on. You either roll with it or get rolled over.

Remember how many people love this video?

lol, but when Trump said, we have not been great, and we haven't won much, they all have problem with it.

Truth is America is a great country, but we have to keep our ego in check and realize we have a lot of problems.

Really Donald? All knowledge? Not just, they didn't get a good education, but the teachers apparently have some doomsday device to wipe all knowledge from the brains of our poor children.
8 yrs of Obamas indoctrination centers is over, no more dumbing down of our youth.
