Nationalist Trump ...

... proving that he can use a teleprompter and deliver a speech written by someone else.

The same that every president does, including the great Ronaldus Magnus. FTR, Trump re-wrote some of it.

So if he's putting Americans first, is he bringing in nationalized healthcare, better maternity/paternity leave, better K-12 education (fewer stupid tests), a better welfare system. Or is he still going on about a stupid freakin' wall.

Oh, ever the skeptic. He just means save one bullet for ourselves. Cyanide is so............ 1940's.

Sounds like a mash-up of George W. Bush and Barack Obama. Donald W. Trumpamba.

That's what Europe is for. America is the Land of Opportunity, not the Land of Equally Shared Misery.

What was your favorite line in the speech?

What was your favorite line in the speech?

Getting most of our "allies" to pay their share of their own defense......something I have said for years. We cannot affort to pick up the tab for everyone else....not anymore.

It is just trite, in foreign policy he's going to put America first... That's unlike previous incumbants?

Still speaking the politics of division.

I just calls it like I sees it. Trump appears to be more concerned with America than with Americans.

You know what really divides? Walls.

That's actually pretty awesome.

Yes the opportunity to go into hundreds of thousands of debt to get medical care. What a crock.

Most of those allies would pay America to get their military off their land. The military won't give it up. Many Americans like having their fingers in the business of other countries.
