Viewers approve of Trump's first State of the Union address - CBS News poll

Yesterday I posted that I was leaving the forum to take some time off from the constant Trump bashing leftists and plan on doing just that however after watching the SOTU and hearing the actual results which I have been posting for some time here and watching the Democrats sitting on their hands I found the following article that makes sense out of the past election and adds credibility to those of us who voted for Trump and are getting the results mentioned at the SOTU.

Radical leftists always seem to admit that they are doing fine but America isn't. it is that liberal arrogance that was refuted Tuesday night and shown to be full of lies and distortions. America is doing much better than the Obama malaise and the following gives credibility to those of us who voted for Trump and those of us that truly understand that problems that occurred during the Obama term and judge Presidents not on what they say but what they do. Here is why Trump won, why the Republicans won the Congress, and why they will continue to win. Will the leftists ever get it?

Here's what Trump's critics still don't get about why he was elected and has the support of millions | Fox News
No, but that's politics....SOTU's are theatre, and other than a few catch phrases, I don't recall much substance from them. I am sorry to see you go on break, but understand, and look forward to your return...

Wait a minute... Aren't we playing the "Say something really dumb" game...???? You were doing so well that I had really WORK at even trying to keep up.

I guess you were just playing with yourself.

Alright, let's take a look at that article which "makes sense" shall we?

President Trump shows concern for blue-collar Americans.

No, he has voiced those concerns but he has shown he is more supportive of the wealthy and corporations. Not the blue collar worker.

Millions of Americans don’t see President Trump’s concerns over immigration as racist.

I don't think he is racist in this regard, I think he is ignorant and generalizes illegals way to the exteme. For instance, the dreamers pay taxes, they are a contribution to society and law abiding. It isn't their fault that they are here. Secondly, the wall is just plain idiotic and a waste of money. The problem with immigration is the companies and people that hire them. If Trump would spend even a quarter of his time going after the actual companies that hire illegals (and fining them SIGNIFICANTLY) than the problem would lessen.

Democratic economic policies have been very costly.

As Trump supporters are going to see, Trump's policies are going to be even more costly. The wall, trade wars, tax cut, it's all going to end up costing the government significantly in the end.

President Trump has the courage of his convictions.

Courage is not the word, stubbornness without the ability to say he is wrong and ego best describe Trump's "convictions". Courage is a soldier that goes into battle to save a wounded soldier. Courage is a fire fighter going into a burning building. What Trump does is not "courage" at all.

President Trump is working to project strength around the globe.

No, he isn't. His latest actions of not enforcing sanctions on Russia proves he isn't projecting strength but weakness. His actions with NK don't project strength, but just bullying and rhetoric.

The president speaks directly and clearly to the American people.

This is the only thing I will agree with. However, with that said he does so in the most unpresidential and temper tantruming way. He is the laughing stock around the world with his use of the English language. The drunk uncle at a family reunion best describes Trump "speaking directly and clearly" to the American people

Unemployment and a growing economy is not the result of Trump, but rather a continuation from years of trends. He's just managed not to screw that up so far although signs are pointing to the economy slowing down.
 
If President Trump cared about any actual policy action, he'd spend less time rage-tweeting from bed while watching Fox News, and more time trying to pressure congress.

He gets no credit for something he's shown little to no interest in doing. If he actually motions to push for infrastructure or paid family leave, i'll happily support it. But he doesn't get credit for saying he will do his homework.

How long do you think it takes to send out a tweet?

It is you that spends so much time wringing your hands over that tweet.

You are the time waster.
 
Plagiarizing... like crime... only seems to be bad when a dem does it these days for trump nation folk.

If Clinton said these three words once, does that mean that nobody else could ever use them?
 
I suppose the speech might be more interesting if I thought anything he said could be trusted. I tried to watch it but Donald Trump drips smugness and I have a low threshold for when dumb people with undeservedly high self opinions try to speak intelligently and don't know they're not. It's worse when those idiots are given standing ovations by other dumb people every ten seconds.

You just described what I felt for 8 years.

You said it better than I could have.

None of my behavior can excuse the fact that the president isn't leading congress in major legislation: if anything, he's a hinderance.

Not when you give credit you can use anyone's words. I remember the RW outrage when Biden plagiarized.

You think it is the Presidents job to lead Congress?

You do know they are equal parts of the government, right?

So you think she owns those words because she used them in a speech once?

I guess you're not familiar with plagiarism.

pla·gia·rism: the practice of taking someone else's work or ideas and passing them off as one's own.​

Now be sure to go into a reductio absurdum argument where every word has been used before therefore everything said is plagiarism. I'm pretty sure that's where you are headed.... amirite?
 
Exactly. Liberals have been told to hate Trump's speech and so they do, even if they haven't listened to a single word.

I was particularly amused when he called for unity...


Then this tweet from Emperor Orange.

March 5th is rapidly approaching and the Democrats are doing nothing about DACA. They Resist, Blame, Complain and Obstruct - and do nothing. Start pushing Nancy Pelosi and the Dems to work out a DACA fix, NOW!

And you wonder he has zero cred?
 
Aren't those the only people's opinions of the speech we should care about?

I'm certainly not interested in listening to someone's take on a speech they didn't watch or even read.

How dare you attempt to use logic or be fair on the internet in regards to Trump.
Just being neutral and using your brain will get you labeled a Trumpkin, Trumpster, or Trump supporter, even though you may not be.
To some here, you either hate him with the same rage and anger they do, or you instantly become one of the above.
 
Michelle Obama was wrong. In order to beat Trump at his own game, you have to fight fire with fire. Welcome to the Trump era of politics.

Hillary did nothing but fight Trump with fire. So did establishment Republicans. They all lost.

Republicans are the ones that coined the term Obamacare. Do you remember why that is?

Because Republicans knew that Obamacare would be a total disaster and they wanted to make sure it was hung around Obama's neck.
 
Do you think that is somehow and answer to my question?

Yes. Allow me to explain. President Obama guided the drafting and negotiating of that legislation.

On the tax bill, President Trump was watching from the golf course, and planning to sign whatever they gave him.

That was exactly the position Trump needed to take.

That made the two sides deal with each other which is the way the Congress is supposed to work.

LOL republicans didn't even approach democrats. You're grasping at straws. They told him to shut up and stay out of it because he's not a leader and he doesn't care about policy.

Sure they did and I am sure you were there to see it.

Listen.

President Obama carefully negotiated with congress on his signature healthcare law.

President Trump spent his time rage tweeting, playing golf, and eating fast food.
