The New York Times and POTUS - Joint Session of Congress

The New York Times: Reports the following on the speech given by POTUS to the US Congress, " Mr. Trump brandished a blunter rhetorical ax and, for once, delivered on his promise to speak the Reagan Republican dialect of optimism and reconciliation....his speech, echoing, if not entirely approaching, the wispy mountaintop oratory of more polished predecessors like Mr. Obama and Mr. Reagan "

Lets Get Real:

It must be HARD for the liberal elite NYT to say something nice about President Trump, the speech had that Reagan quality, a happy warrior, the President did not surrender his core values, but the tone was different, he spoke of the need for the US Congress to deal with big issues and not get bogged down in small fry, that Democrats eyebrows must have gone up, it can be argued that the Trump has been battling small fry for most of his first month in D.C.  The Oval Office should use the success of the speech to think big, there is ObamaCare, the Oval should be able to make a deal between the Republicans and Democrats about how to change ObamaCare for the better, the system is in the process of self destruction, how can there be choice for the voter if they have only one insurance company in the State.   The President is the symbol of the art of the deal, well it's time for him to get his LBJ, Reagan, Clinton hat on and make a deal.    Then on tax, the Middle Class need a TAX CUT, the lobby companies will try to thwart any deal, this is the time for the Oval to make a deal.   The 1% elite should pay more tax, while Middle America gets the benefit.   The President wants to a trillion dollar program to invest in the US, the Democrats should support this, it depends if they can get away from their base.    On international affairs the President supported NATO, but wants the members to pay more, he is asking that they pay 2% of the GNP on Defence, he stated the pressure was working.   In this speech tonight Trump become close to Reagan, the question is can he keep up that happy warrior rhetoric. 

CNN and POTUS - Joint Session of Congress

CNN - Politics: Reports " President Donald Trump nailed the performance art during his first address to Congress Tuesday night. But turning his solid reviews into tangible policy victories will be a lot more complicated and test more than his showmanship. "

Lets Get Real:

Even the Clinton News Network as Trump has called CNN finds that the President had a hit with the speech before the Joint Session of Congress.   This should give the Oval Office pause, what if POTUS decided that while the Great Mexican Wall is being built, those illegals immigrants bought to the US when young should be given a works green card, the process would work in a simple manner, as the wall is being built, those Dreamers it groups would be given a works card and the right to stay in the US, in fact they would have all the rights of a citizen, minus voting.   This is sound policy and is on the high moral ground, of course the Democrats would be stuck, do they support a good policy, or still ague so they can get votes.  Everything is political these days. 

The Washington Post and POTUS - Joint Session of Congress

The Washington Post: Reports " Donald Trump: This was the best “big” speech he has given as president. It may well have been the best speech Trump has given since he entered politics way back in June 2015. Trump didn't walk away from his decidedly dark vision of the current state of the country, but his overall tone was more conciliatory and optimistic than I've ever heard him.  "

Lets Get Real:

POTUS will be happy about the coverage, even the liberal elite press seem somewhat shocked about how good the speech was, tone could have been Reagan, tough but seeking unity.  Of course the question is can the POTUS not tread on his success, one has found that when POTUS has a good day he does or says something that helps his liberal foes.  The Oval Office should go on the road, push his aims of getting rid of ObamaCare, tax cuts, a major building process, of course the question is where is the money coming from, that will take time to get through the House and Senate.  The Democrats has to be crafty how they deal with Trump or they could get him re-elected. 

The HATRED of the left towards President Trump - Trump Era

Fox News: Reports " A former Hillary Clinton volunteer drew swift condemnation -- including from President Trump's eldest son -- after mocking the widow of a fallen Navy SEAL who was honored by the president during his congressional address Tuesday night. "

Lets Get Real:

The tribute to the Naval SEAL was the most moving part of the Trump speech, the fact that a Democrat would see that as political spin shows how much the Democrats hate Trump, they see EVERYTHING in pure political terms.   The Speech to the Joint Session of Congress was a call for unity, it was shocking to see the Democrats sitting down and not accepting the offer of a hand from the President.   It is going to be a tough FOUR years if that the Democrats play this game, it might bite them on the backside when it comes to the Mid Term Elections in 2018.

Brexit DEFEAT for the Government in the House of Lords - Post EU

BBC News: Reports " The government has been defeated after the House of Lords said ministers should guarantee EU nationals' right to stay in the UK after Brexit. "

Lets Get Real:

AFTER the House of Lords session it goes back to the House of Commons, the Commons should make it clear that their Lordships advice is not wanted or needed, they should remove the new clause and dare the LORDS to rebel, if they rebel the Conservative Government should call a snap General Election that calls for the House of Lords to be AXED and for the Article 50 to be passed.   The WILL of the voter comes first before the undemocratic will of the House of Lords. 

Trump Before the Congress - Trump Era

Lets Get Real:

The was PRESIDENTIAL, if POTUS can keep this up he might just become GREAT, of course the question is can POTUS keep to the script as he did last night, some parts of the speech could have been given by a Democrat, it was SAD to see Democrats sit down while Trump wanted to help to pass laws that would rebuild the urban areas, the Democrats have to be careful that their hatred of Trump does not destroy them in the long term.
