Trump Takes Victory Lap While Dems Fume
Real Clear Politics ^ | February 05, 2020 | Susan Crabtree

Posted on 02/05/2020 6:43:33 AM PST by Hojczyk

From the moment President Trump confidently strode through the House chamber on the eve of his Senate impeachment acquittal and after an Iowa caucuses debacle for Democrats, it was clear this State of the Union address would be one for the history books. It did not disappoint.

The president Tuesday night confronted his House Democratic accusers by never acknowledging that he’d ever been accused at all, let alone compared for weeks to a king and dictator by the impeachment managers. He delivered a self-congratulatory and triumphant address, promising to continue the priorities he credits for leading the “great American comeback,” a revival he casts as the strongest in modern history and one in which “America’s enemies are on the run” and “America’s fortunes are on the rise.”

When Trump approached Speaker Nancy Pelosi, who initiated the failed effort to remove him from office, the president appeared to snub her offer of a handshake after he presented her a copy of the speech. At the end of the remarks, Pelosi made a show of ripping up the official copy of Trump’s address in an unprecedented fit of public pique. She also had bypassed the traditional announcement that it was her “high honor and distinct pleasure” to introduce the president prior to the speech.

Lefties can’t help themselves. How is talking about how “we” have a great comeback a self-congradulatory statement.

Does Trump consider himself a plural pronoun? Can you even read, you liberal whore?

Obama used “I” ad nauseum and the Left thought it was cool.

“We won. They lost.”

A major reason why they’re so unhinged.

It happens so rarely they don’t know how to deal with it.

Even more galling....Obama assured them The Fix was in—he took every illegal step needed to make Hillary a shoo-in.

They fully expected to win——they made Big plans.

The SOTU antics underlines loser Dems don’t know how to deal with failure.

Hey, Nancy and other elite snowflake liberals, no matter how much you cry, moan and bitch, Trump will still be your president today and tomorrow">

Your President for 2020 to 2024!

“America’s enemies are on the run” and “America’s fortunes are on the rise.”
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Democrats and Bush League Republicans can’t stand it.

We were supposed to be North Mexico by now.

As if there is something wrong with any of that.

Last night showed the Demonrats and the nation:
Delivering great rhetoric is easy; delivering great results is hard.
A soaring speech gets you inspired; a soaring economy gets you HIRED!
God bless President Trump!

Can someone tell me who the big guy congressman was who had a stack of cash showing in his front coat pocket? They showed him about three times, and I think he was a Republican because he was clapping and seemed happy. Not a sourpuss like naziPelousy!

Trump should experiment and read one of Obama’s speeches verbatim, one about losing jobs, expanding public assistance, etc. and see how democrats react.
