I agree that it was a great speech overall. He started out slow and sounded a bit hoarse, like maybe he had been under the weather recently. But he got rolling after about five minutes and his voice cleared up and strengthened. Only thing I would have changed is taking out the statement that if Trump had not been elected, we’d be in a war with North Korea by now. That’s a stretch, but he made it sound reasonable so I don’t think that statement will cause any problems.
For me, the highlight of the speech was the story of the elderly man who was a prisoner in a German concentration camp. He and his family were put in a box car on a train and told they were “moving to another camp.” Then the train made a screeching halt, and had been stopped by the US Army. His father shouted out in exhiliration: “It’s the Americans...it’s the Americans!” What a great story. That’s what we stand for as a nation—freedom and the right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness...throughout the world. (...and that elderly man was in the audience tonight...what a great story.)
He nailed it on the border wall. You know, I remember around 30 years ago when a friend of mine was going to college at USC in Los Angeles. Way back then he told us about the threat to American citizens from violent illegal immigrants in LA. It was bad back then, nothing was done about it, and it’s worse today. Illegal immigration is one of the biggest scandals in American history...the way the Democrats and RINOs have destroyed the rule of law on our Southern border for their own political benefit.
I think he’s going to get no funding for the wall from the DemoRats, but he’s not going to declare a National Emergency. Instead he’s going to build it through the defense budget, by transferring unused funding for unnecessary military housing and other facilities into funding for the border wall. I saw a post on another website about the law that allows him to do this transfer. I’m sure it’s all been cleared by Chief Justice Roberts as fully legal and constitutional, because Trump doesn’t go into any political fight without a good solid plan. I’m sure he has a great plan for funding and building the border wall. Go Trump Team! MAGA!
The reunion of camp prisoner and US Military Hero: when this was seen, there must have been no dry eyes in the room. There certainly wasn't here.
His words were so uplifting one could not help but be filled with pride. How many times have we heard USA USA on the floor of congress shouted with such enthusiasm?
There is no doubt whatsoever that we will at last see our WALL. This man has set out a plan and as he moves along he is adjusting, reformulating, and revising. IF not a POTUS, he might have been an excellent General. A favorite quote from our VSG-POTUS:
"Sometimes by losing a battle you find a new way to win the war. Don't ever get down on yourself, just keep fighting - in the end, you WIN!"
Trump gives us HOPE and he restores our Faith in the Almighty. There IS a GOD and He continues to watch over His Flock. Those who prayed for this nation recognize the fact. MAGA and continue to grow our Faith!
Thirty years ago, I was told by a police detective that Puerto Rico birth certificates were fraudulently printed.
Thirty Years!
