Donald Trump Addresses Congress For The First Time! WATCH HERE!

US President Donald Trump was yesterday working on the final touches of an address to Congress today that will focus on economic opportunity and national security, administration officials said.

While Trump still engaged in some charged language – including his use of the term “radical Islamic terrorism” – the speech was far less confrontational than his “American carnage” inaugural address and arguably the most unifying moment of his divisive and chaotic first 39 days in office.

“However, maybe equity traders think they can’t lose – even if Trump doesn’t deliver on his pro-growth agenda the Fed will be there to cushion the blow”.

According to the outline, the much-anticipated State of the Union-esque speech will echo numerous promises Trump has expressed in the past, including an America-first approach to the economy, trade deals, and immigration, as well as strength in law enforcement.

However in a surprise he said that “positive immigration reform is possible” and that he would support a merit-based entry system into the US.

“Donald Trump would like us to believe that all immigrants are terrorists and criminals”, said Schumer. Outside his opening gambit tonight, the platitudes felt just that, half-hearted and clunky.

But his White House honeymoon has been short-lived, with infighting and inexperience dogging the new administration. It comes at a critical time for this new president, who was elected on pledges to quickly shake up Washington, but whose first five weeks in office have left him saddled with historically low approval ratings.

If you don’t have access to a TV, it’s all good because it’s 2017 and there are plenty of ways to view the President’s address to Congress without one.

The US President was captured by television cameras reading from a copy of the address and trying out a series of different gestures and facial expressions, just minutes before arriving on Capitol Hill to deliver the speech.

“Obamacare is collapsing – and we must act decisively to protect all Americans”, he said, “Action is not a choice – it is a necessity”.

The CEO-turned-commander-in-chief has already withdrawn the United States from a trans-Pacific trade pact and is threatening to scrap a decades-old deal with Canada and Mexico if substantial changes are not made.

There was still the economic nationalism, the calls for deregulation, for enlivening American coal and steel despite economic realities-all without the details that Congress, investors, and the public at large have been crying out for on matters ranging from health care to tax reform.

Last week, Republican representatives faced hard questions from constituents fearful of losing their healthcare benefits.

Trump also claimed his revamped travel ban, likely to be signed on Wednesday, will keep the nation safe.

When Trump mentioned repealing and replacing Obamacare, the Republican side of the aisle got to their feet and cheered, while some Democrats in the audience gave a thumbs down to that prospect.

However, his job is not to represent the world, said the newly-inaugurated USA president, stressing his agenda is to put “America First”.

“The time for small thinking is over”. Every problem can be solved. Trump’s first official State of the Union address will be in 2018.

“Although Mr. Trump’s presidency has been defined by executive orders and pronouncements, his speech appeared to be an attempt to open a new phase and reflected his need for cooperation from Congress”, write Julie Hirschfeld Davis, Michael D. Shear and Peter Baker.

No. Trump took office January 20.

Trump appeared to leave the tough decisions in the lap of Republican leaders on Capitol Hill, a task made more hard because the voters who now make up the GOP represent different camps with divergent goals.
