Trump got a 70% approval from those who watched it. I'm glad I watched it because it lessened some of my fears. He came out to me as being a lot more intelligent than GW Bush. At the same time it showed my party's obsession with protecting illegal aliens. The illegals have to go to the back of the line, behind those who immigrate legally. The vilifying of the Muslim faith was a bit Hitleristic, however.
Maybe you didn't listen to speech. Your remarks make it sound that way.
Trump hit home run when he said that $6T was wasted in the Middle East. That money could have been used to rebuild the American infrastructure 2X, even 3X if good negotiators worked at it.
i.e. Democrats have wasted huge sums. That spending will be redirected.
I did listen to it.
$6 trillion spent in ME is fake news, and not even close to the actual figure. Besides, bulk of the actual figure was spent by Bush admin.
Trump said he will cut revenues and then spend, spend, spend, spend, and did not even hint how he will find all the spending. He sounded like Obama on steroids. Maybe more like Bernie Sanders.
FINALLY. A major politician (Trump) recommended immigration based on merit. Why the heck haven't we been doing this? Let's bring in the engineers, computer scientists, etc. from China, India, etc. into this country-----augment it with obviously hard working Latinos---and let them show us who works the hardest------and we have a winning formula!
Finally? We have been doing that for decades, and anti-immigrants have fought against it tooth and nail. It is called H1B program. Clinton expanded it, but since then Republicans have reduced it.
It was a good speech and made the Democrats looked pouty. White dresses? There may be some obscure statement they're making but no one knows what it is and even fewer care to know.
He addressed all the important topics, the ones most Americans feel need attention. He rallied his party and offered an open hand to the Democrats. We'll have to see how his proposals will fix the problems he identified, but he let Americans know that he is on the same page they are.
