President Trump pushed the reset button after a rocky first month in office, delivering an on-message joint address to Congress that outlined an optimistic vision for America.
"I am here tonight to deliver a message of unity and strength, and it is a message deeply delivered from my heart," Trump said at the outset, declaring that "the torch of truth, liberty and justice...is now in our hands. And we will use it to light up the world."
It was a remarkably different tone than the president's usual speeches, including his inaugural address when he promised to stop "American carnage" and painted a gloomy view of the country. There were no campaign-like riffs, no boasting of his electoral victory, no bashing of the media or taunts or jeers at his opponents.
"The time for trivial fights is behind us," Trump declared at the end of his speech — a somewhat ironic statement given his proclivity to pick Twitter fights and zero in on petty things like disputes over the size of his inauguration crowd.

To paraphrase Walter Conkrite: "If the liberals have lost NPR, the war against Trump cannot be won."
The fake news MSM will have a difficult time finding fault with the President tonight.
This writer opened up this piece insulting Trump left and right.
Who cares what they think?
“Trump started off Great unlike...” What an ankle biter.
It was a great speech, period.
I give NPR rare respect tonight, for ‘getting it’, and posting this article.
Katty Kay (yep, that’s her name) of the BBC said that Mr. Trump’s effort most certainly would garner positive reviews and that his self-grade of C for communication was without a doubt going to be raised higher.
The cherry on top was when he looked at the dem side when he used the word trivial. He absolutely OWNED their boil-infested butts!
President Trump hit a home run tonight while the democrats clearly showed viewers that they are spoilers not interested in helping to move America out of the O’conomy doldrums.
They were especially noticeable sitting together in their white garb scowling and sitting on their hands most of the time.
“Forget it, Jake, it’s NPR.”
You have to expect those sort of things. Still, even with the digs in place, you could actually hear their awe.
The fringe lunatic liberals at their message board websites are absolutely flipping out right now.
You got that right. On CNN Van Jones declared that Trump became president with this speech.
The majority of the nation tonight climbed on board the MAGA train, the dems in the peanut gallery never made it to the train platform.
Aren’t you channeling LBJ, not Walter Cronkite?
Juan Williams managed to find fault with most of the president's comments.
Laura Ingraham said he went on a scavenger hunt to find things to complain about!

It’s late. Yes, I made a mistake.
NPR posted a positive headline about Trump??? WOW.
Winning all over. And I wasn’t even a Trump supporter during the primaries but I do love him now.

Isn’t NPR on the chopping block? No wonder a change in tone.
