Trump's speech Wednesday night (Poll)

[Concerned American]

I saw on AP that your blob is going to send out $1,776 payments to about 1.4M service members.

You were against over-spending on another thread.

Please tell us how you think it's a great idea on this thread.

Sure, you'd rather give it to deadbeat students who never did diddly squat for the country, eh? SMFH

They're mad because Trump didn't give the money to illegal aliens. They think illegal gang bangers are more important than our military who they hate while embracing illegal, alien criminals.

 

[HikerGuy83]

He did no such thing. He ranted and raved like someone who knew he was tanking. He lied his ass off. Trump Jumped the shark tonight.

Why do you waste our time.

Go jump yourself.

 

[TheInfiniteSadness]

Go back and cut out the parts where he is blaming Biden for everything, and his speech lasted 2 minutes and 17 seconds.

That's it? I imagine they limited his time so he wouldn't start lying again about snakes in Peru

 

[scruffy]

He needs to keep citizens motivated and ensure the message is given to citizens. It wasn't a long speech, it was quick and to the point with a bit of additional details.

It was fine. If he stood there for an hour that would be different.

It was not one of his better speeches. Defensive and partisan. Kinda pointless IMO. He won't sway anyone with it, that's for sure.

 

[BackAgain]

Didn’t watch it. Saw some snippets on the news and online.

Since our disgraceful liberal/Democrat propaganda ministry (the “MSM”) refuse to engage in honest and factual reporting, I don’t give a crap how they presenting or analyze it how much they seek to twist it. The MSM has no credibility anymore.

But since they do refuse to be honest, I have no problem with President Trump occasionally doing some of his own reporting. (That does not always include some of his posting efforts, however.)

What a shrill little petty shrew candyass is.

$2.66 billion is well-spent considering what our service members do and risk for us, and how little they get paid for it.

Oh, like you mean how back in 2009 after being elected from Congress, Obumma using a broom analogy like he was sweeping the floor, blamed Bush for all of the economic meltdown troubles going on that as a senator, he voted for and helped create?

Interesting. I didn't see it, I went up at 8PM thinking it would be prime time like most addresses to the nation, but there was no address listed in the TV Guide for CBS, ABC, NBC nor Fox. I finally turned on RAV News which was talking about it saying it was scheduled for 9PM.

So waiting for it watching other things, I fell asleep about 15 minutes before it aired. But from what you say, it sounds like Trump used the event mostly to vent on democrats, blaming them just to piss them off and rally his base, so I really didn't miss anything.

I was more interested in hearing actual facts about where we are, what we face, what he is doing and why, and how we are doing or going to do to turn these matters around.

For instance, I read in the OP link that Trump said inflation is stopped--- well, yes and no. Trump has killed the steep inflation rate we had under Biden, but we are not at 0 yet. There is still inflation, but Trump has effectively brought it at least to a crawl in comparison to under Joe.

 

[SaxonJackson]

Trumpanyahu had another rally? Yaawwwnnn! What did he lie about this time? Conman!!

 

[Nuthin' Fancy]

Trump's speech Wednesday night.​

Trump either did a double dose of adderall or he got into juniors coke.
He sounded like a raving, lying lunatic.
One long continuous sentence, for 15 minutes,
Blaming everything on Biden.

Because Trump-47 is not borrowing $8T like Biden.

The military bonus is paid for with tariff revenue.

Please remember that the BBB, i.e. Trump's 2026 budget, cuts $1.7T off Biden's last budget, so there is no "overspending".

 

[Hafar1014]

Lets compare speaking styles

 

[initforme]

The tariff $ could fund the $2000 checks that are hopefully going through

Its cute that you believe that.

Trump said they made $18T off of tariffs the other day.

WRONG. The $18T is new CAPEX investment in the US due to the tariffs. Tariff revenue is about $300b a year.

PS: Every penny of that $200B came from importers--i.e. Americans

WRONG again. US consumers pay about 55% of the tariffs, but only if they buy imported goods.

American consumers will shoulder 55% of tariff costs, while US companies will take on 22% and foreign exporters will absorb 18% by slashing prices on their goods, economists including Elsie Peng an…

Well, we're also supposed to get $5,000 checks from the DOGE savings too remember. But the tariffs are paying for all of it...somehow. LOL

Well, so much for the "Sleepy Trump" BS....Bigly.

Really...is that what they told you?

Didn't the blob also say that exporters paid the tariffs? Yes he did:

And now according to you, the most ardent Trump dick sucker in the history of mankind---they're only paying what 18% according to you.

Serious question...if anyone else was to change their story as much as your orange shit bag changes his...how many times would they have to change it before you stopped believing them? And why don't you apply that same rule to the blob?

You still have no reading comprehension. Buy American and there is no tariff dumbass.
