President to highlight signature issues in speech to Congress
The survey, conducted among a group of Americans who said in interviews conducted before the speech that they planned to watch and agreed to be re-contacted, only reflects the views of those who watched the speech, not of all Americans. “That one was “dark” and this one was more uplifting”.
“We spend billions in the Middle East, but we have potholes all over the country”, Trump said Monday at a meeting of the National Governors Association. One of the center’s main projects is an art exhibit that highlights the stories of immigrants in the US illegally. He ended with a call for all citizens to renew the American spirit.
This was his first speech, he may get better as time goes on, or he may maintain a odd contrast between his spontaneous speaking and what he says during prepared talks.
It is expected that Trump will also make reference to U.S. support for NATO and his desire that European countries contribute more funding to the trans-Atlantic alliance, the sources said, although they did not say what other foreign policy issues the president might deal with in the address.
He pitched school choice as a civil rights issue and introduced Denisha Merriweather, an African-American woman in the gallery, who Trump said failed third grade twice before being given a tax voucher to attend a better school.
President Donald Trump floated the prospect of a new immigration bill during a meeting with news anchors at the White House on Tuesday.
The talking heads on CNN had positive reactions to Trump’s speech and positive tone.
He repeated that promise Tuesday morning, but, again, did not offer specifics.
Crowley continued: “The president’s speech doubled down on numerous worst actions his administration has taken during its first 40 days in office, including reinforcing the White House’s support of an unconstitutional Muslim Ban and Republicans’ desire to see individuals deprived of affordable healthcare options”.
He’ll have to convince Democrats to work with him, but Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., says the Trump agenda is exactly the same as the Republican agenda. If those rates drop steadily for the next two years – and given the level of polarization, they certainly could – Republicans would be in serious danger of losing the House, since low presidential approval ratings correlate significantly with House elections.
Trump’s comments lacked detail, but it was the first time he publicly supported tax credits, a nod to health insurers who say they are necessary to keep people in the market. Trump’s honoring of Carryn Owens, the widow of fallen Navy SEAL William “Ryan” Owens, was the second-most tweeted item in Trump’s speech.
