He was a little tight at first because of the teleprompters, but because the Truth will always out and be complimentary to the speaker, the speech took flight and ended with both speaker and listeners on a high we'll remember for a long time.
He touched on most issues I wanted to hear, the Problem, the Goal, the Proposed Solution
With concise explanations the Donald hit it out of the park for me and the home team this afternoon. He batted 1000!
Tonight will be even more of a high as the pecksniff pundits with pursed puckerlips try to pull the speech apart......and I will wallow in every minute of it.

” pecksniff pundits with pursed puckerlips....”
Please say that again three times really really fast!! LOL!
The broad strokes outline was dead on target.
That’s the important thing.
He pegged where we are, what we need to do, and how to accomplish it.
After hearing eight years of Kenya’s favorite son (of a .....), and in all honesty eight years of marble mouth, it was refreshing to hear someone speak with actual authority. Going back still further, you had the walking (male genitalia)..., so essentially this is the first decent presentation since Mr. Read My Lips.
Man this has been a long time coming.
And surprise surprise, our know-nothings weren’t able to screw this up.
Wow!
I’ll be thinking of Reagan every day with Trump in the White House. Trump may not always get it right, but Reagan’s spirit does live within him.
Folks just can’t grasp that.
From the speech:
It all began with the dangerous idea that we could make Western democracies out of countries that had no experience or interest in becoming a Western Democracy.
Back in 1961, Goldwater made a foreign policy speech where he caught hell from the Foreign Policy Community, but as it turned out, he was right. I'm paraphrasing, but he said:
"There are nations that are not ready for democracy, and for religious and cultural reasons they may never be ready for democracy. The best we can hope for is a benevolent dictatorship, preferably one loyal to the United States and not the Soviet Union."
Goldwater had a habit of being right about the big issues.
Same here. Can't wait to wallow in their tears.
I was surprised as I saw the “stiffness” melt away and he became more comfortable. I am sure he added some of his own emphasis at times. NOT BAD AT ALL...
I agree.
It was a great speech.
But it didn't stop him from waving his arms around while he spoke! ;^D
I laugh when I remember O'bamster using a teleprompter to speak to a 6th grade class... har har - in my mind's eye I could see the kids looking at each other and scratching their heads.
