How to Stream President Trump’s Speech to Congress

President Trump’s address to a joint session of Congress exceeded expectations among the pundit class on Tuesday night. It’s worth noting that the “Thank you” leading into the applause and Trump’s line about breaking a record after were not in the prepared remarks.

When Carry Owens found support from the audience and Trump spoke about the “renewal of the American spirit”, the American Twitterati showed an uncanny behaviour towards the President.

On February 24, the White House blocked several news organizations who have been critical of Trump, including CNN. “And a new surge of optimism is placing impossible dreams firmly within our grasp”. “The speech will likely resemble a SOTU that delivers an “‘optimistic vision’ for the nation”, according to a White House document obtained by POLITICO. The decorum on that shifted during Obama’s presidency, notably in 2009 when Rep Joe Wilson (R-SC) yelled out “you lie” during Obama’s speech to congress.

Mr. Trump reiterated a pledge to require companies building pipelines in the United States to use American steel pipe.

“It’s all in the details”.

But the county’s two Republican members of Congress who offered responses to the speech sidestepped those issues, focusing instead on enthusiasm for the president.

“For people hoping that he would become unifying, hoping that he might find some way to become presidential, they should be happy with that moment”, Jones said. “President Trump’s joint address this evening was more of the same”.

After a first month in office dominated by a fight over his temporary travel ban on people from seven Muslim-majority nations, Trump looked for a reset to move past a chaotic period that sowed doubts about his ability to govern effectively. Some of the biggest cheers came as he outlined a populist promise to restore manufacturing jobs.

“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. As happened with his Supreme Court announcement and some of his executive orders, there will be a level of suspense in whether Trump will talk about immigration reform to the lawmakers. After talking up his plans to build a wall with Mexico and deport criminals, he returned to the theme in his speech. To not stand and acknowledge the widow of a fallen soldier would have been more shocking.

Republican Speaker of the House Paul Ryan called the president’s speech a “home run” in a statement. “And to restore respect for our laws”, Trump said.”If we are guided by the well being of American citizens, then I believe Republicans and Democrats can work together to achieve an outcome that has eluded our country for decades”.
