Daaaaa-YUM!
That was the most concise, on-point, sincere, proactive, and POWERFUL address from the Oval Office in the history of any recent memory. Can't remember anyone since Reagan delivering something like that.
That was not a politician we just heard. That was a statesman.

All he did so far is ask for another meeting. If he takes "emergency action" then Congress is off the hook -- which is exactly what they want.
Screw them.
Make them vote on funding bills. Period.

He’s ratcheting up the pressure.
Well see tomorrow if this crank was enough.

He got better as he went along.
- He needs to speak a little more slowly.
- He should pause a beat between sentences to allow what he has just said to register.
- Some sentences he should repeat for emphasis, because that fits his natural speaking style. The sentence about more deaths in one year from ODs than in the entire Vietnam War could have been repeated, for example, and others.
- He should imagine he is speaking to someone over a dinner table, making his points. He has a different style than Reagan or the Bushes or Zero, and he should speak as closely as possible to his natural style.
To: grumpygresh
He needs to stop asking the enemy for help.
He needs to step on some toes......hard.

Well done. Would have added a few things, but all told, almost perfect. Throws the ball in the RATS court and hard to refute. Short and sweet.

Great speech. Keep emergency powers in the back pocket. When Congress fails to act, revisit it.

He needs to issue emergency action sooner than later.I've read several articles this evening that say President Trump will likely NOT call an emergency.

He also said call congress and tell them to support border security.
He wants us to put the pressure on them.
To: relee
I think he just gave the dims a chance to save face. Will they take advantage of it?

To: goodnesswins
Well, he never did get into the nitty gritty about the SEX TRAFFICKING. People would’ve paid attention to that. He just re-hashed what he’s been saying for months. Truth about the shocking dirt needs to be put out there.
