President Trump’s speech inspires the country to ‘feel great again’

So the president’s ability to work with Congress – which sees fiscal health as a top priority – is about to be seriously tested. Never mind that his ghostwriter, Tony Schwartz, says he wrote virtually all of it. What Trump has said is that it’s better to get along with Moscow than not.

Indeed, to many, the first moments of Trump’s joint address February 28 seemed surreal to many observers.

Trump will soon be juggling as fast as he can.

Threats targeting Jewish community centers persist and senseless shootings occur daily in places like Kansas City where two Indian men were shot in a bar a week ago in what appears to be racially motivated, the White House said after the incident. We have a dysfunctional White House and a president acting in an erratic way.

Carryn Owens, the widow of Ryan Owens, the Navy SEAL senior chief who was killed during the operation, stood in the crowd as Trump boasted about the raid’s success. From highlighting the importance of regional geopolitical commitments – such as defending Japan and South Korea or USA contribution to North Atlantic Treaty Organisation – to improving our relationship with Russian Federation by requiring both sides to abide by global law, the expectations outlined here are a fantasy version of what we can expect from Trump.

With a lot of pretentious talk about the “deconstruction of the administrative state” and political fantasies (tariffs that don’t provoke retaliation, for example), Steve Bannon and President Donald Trump hoped to transform the GOP into an ethno-nationalist, pro-Russia party akin to the Alternative for Germany (AfD), the National Front in France and the Netherlands’ Party for Freedom (headed by Geert Wilders). An embattled President Trump spent the weekend raging in frustration at his inability to control events – and his administration is just in its second month. We need a full and independent investigation that leaves no stone unturned. If he won’t, Congress ought to use its power to release them.

USA presidents need a warrant for wiretaps, and that must be obtained by the FBI from the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court, which would mean Trump was under criminal investigation.

Additionally, President Trump spoke of the repeal and replace of Affordable Care Act and the inevitability of its failure, in his words “Obamacare is collapsing”.

It’s nearly as if Putin himself is writing Trump’s game plan. No kidding. The House will spend much of March considering the first tranche of legislation to change the USA health care system, which has already drawn opposition from conservative House Republicans who believe the approach is too gradual-as well as Democrats, and even some Republicans, who think it’s too abrupt. But the fact is that Republicans control the House and the Senate, so charges of obstruction make little sense. It is literally the foundation that other economic efforts will be built on. A simple, fair tax law would virtually eliminate the IRS and ensure that those who benefit most from America’s economy pay more to keep it going.

“It’s not a huge departure actually from Department of Defense budgets in the past”. While he can not continue to survive on “terrific”, “huge” and “winning” with the empty promises of his pseudo-Republican identity, it will take more than tax breaks for billionaires for the nation to understand the extent of his social and economical contradictions. The plan is decidedly anti-populist insofar as the rich get significant tax cuts while Medicaid gets slashed. Can he succeed? When it comes to the latter, he has a good chance. The Republican Party has a 37 percent favorable and 48 percent unfavorable rating. None of this is the kind of experience that Trump enjoyed in the world of business.

Trump’s been very open about building a multi-billion dollar wall to serve as an impractical symbol of the U.S’s contempt for immigration.

Declaring that “the time has come for a new program of national rebuilding”, Trump asked Congress to approve legislation for his infrastructure spending spree.

Adam Schiff: I think that in many ways the president is violating time-honored norms of behavior.

Flynn’s background of conspiracy theories, hard temperament, mishandling classified information and ties to Russian TV, were not the problems with him becoming the national security adviser.
