Seems to me it's unusual. Or is it the norm? I don't recall previous presidents addressing Congress after a month in office. Then again, I don't recall previous presidents needing to buoy themselves with self-serving political rallies, either.

I don't know? Are we looking for something to b*tch about again? Shall we try to hammer Trump over the head about the timing of the congressional speech. nah... that's Democrats, Liberals, Progressives that go meltdown over everything.

Who knows? I just hope it doesn't turn into a regular thing. We missed some good TV last night for that BS.

I'm very sorry that your TV only has one channel. Most TV's today have dozens, and I'm guessing yours does also, but you couldn't pry yourself away from watching how a real leader operates. You were curious to see exactly how he is going to make America great again, and you saw a tremendous speech by a great leader..
No double you will be voting for Trump in 2020...

Very odd. Have you noticed that Trump's right hand only has 5 fingers. That's odd, no?

My understanding is that all Presidents give this kind of an address at about this time and it is a replacement in an inauguration year - especially in a first term - for the traditional State of the Union address. It is not a true State of the Union however because the President has only had about a month in office and asking for a full State of the Union address would be silly and not useful at this point.

Well, that's it exactly. He needs pep rallies.
