Donald Trump Rehearses Speech In Limo. Twitter Goes Into Overdrive
Owens’ death, along with several civilians, raised questions about whether the president should have signed off on the mission. Carryn Owens sat with tears streaming down her face as Mr Trump paid tribute to a fallen hero.
Trump is likely to use the pomp and tradition-filled occasion – a State of the Union Address in all but name – to reconnect with blue collar voters. There was nothing particularly remarkable about it. No words he said will end up etched on a marble monument in Washington.
This was a positive and upbeat speech that any mainstream Republican could have delivered.
Gone were Trump’s dark and disturbing references to a dying United States, to carnage in the streets, and to an nearly post-apocalyptic notion of this nation that permeated his inauguration speech. Just 44 percent of Americans approve of his job performance, according to a new NBC News/Wall Street Journal survey.
“I have ordered the Department of Homeland Security to create an office to serve American Victims”, he said. And what is the Trump agenda? Beshear is a strong supporter of the Affordable Care Act and is expected to focus on the importance of the legislation.
Vowing to repeal Barack Obama’s signature health care law, Mr Trump outlined how people will be allowed to buy insurance across state lines and announced plans of offering tax credits to help Americans purchase insurance.
The biggest task ahead is Republicans’ drive to repeal and replace ObamaCare.
“When it comes to the hard work of government, namely passing legislation in the days and months ahead, more questions about details than answers remain”, Mark Hamrick, Bankrate.com’s senior economic analyst, wrote after Trump’s speech was over. Every time Trump refers to his white, minority coalition as “the people”, he’s telling the majority of the American people who oppose him that they don’t matter. We all bleed the same blood. We will defend our flag. “When we all work together, we can make health care better”.
“We are blessed to be joined tonight by Carryn Owens, the widow of a U.S. Navy Special Operator, Senior Chief William “Ryan” Owens”. It will be one of the great milestones in the world history. “Ryan laid down his life for his friends, for his country, and for our freedom – we will never forget him”. Jamiel Shaw, Sr., has spoken before at Trump’s campaign rallies and he delivered remarks at the Republican National Convention about his son, a high school football player, who was killed in 2008.
While Trump advocated numerous hot-button issues he championed during the 2016 presidential campaign, he also struck a more conciliatory tone than the new president has done since entering the White House.
A CNN/ORC poll revealed nearly seven-in-10 believed the policy proposals President Trump announced would be good for the country.
Touching on numerous keystones of his presidential campaign, such as immigration from Mexico, national security and job growth, Trump delivered a more optimistic message than he has in other public appearances, notably sticking to his prepared remarks for nearly the entirety of the speech.
