Trump Invents New Word for Lying: “Misdirection Play”
Though he’s now been in office over a month, it’s still jarring and surreal to see Trump in the presidential place of honor.
As NRL News Today discussed earlier this week, pro-life President Donald Trump’s address Tuesday to a joint session of Congress was a huge hit. One who was diagnosed with a rare disease and treated with a new drug. Now, however, an emotional high point becomes evidence of Trump’s cynical manipulation of and aversion to facts.
In his speech, Trump spoke about his plan to increase military spending and fight terrorism. Trump would not necessarily support a pathway to citizenship – possibly except for “Dreamers”, who were brought into the country illegally as children – according to a report by CNN’s Wolf Blitzer and Jake Tapper, who attended the luncheon. But because the Mexican government has refused to pay for it, the White House will need $10-$15 billion in emergency supplement funding to cover the cost, which again provides Senate Democrats with leverage to negotiate for concessions on behalf of their agenda. Unlike our last president, President Trump acknowledged that reality, and outlined a clear vision for us to overcome the challenges we will face. “We have to demonstrate that we’re going to actually secure the border so we have to do that first than we can get to all the other questions”.
In an interview before the speech, presidential historian Jon Meacham told Fox News Channel’s Bill O’Reilly: “Great presidents don’t govern from their base, but from their base plus”.
“Following his speech, we’re still awaiting what will replace Obamacare”, Garren stated. The president said that everyone will be fine.
The president called to “restart the engine of the American economy”, in part by making it “much, much harder for companies to leave”, which implies ruinous protectionism or other government misdirection of investment. Then why is the House leadership hiding a draft in a locked room?
“Ironically, perhaps, Trump is the one that can do it”, Aguilar said. Politicians are not the most trustworthy people, after all.
An end to the Affordable Care Act? This personifies nontransparent, irresponsible and cowardly governing.
America’s political middle, watching at home.
Democrats’ reaction was remarkably similar to that of House Republican leaders in 2014, when they balked at President Obama’s overtures on immigration. Taking apart a system that has helped insure 22 million people is no mean feat – and one tracking poll taken during Trump’s speech showed the Affordable Care Act isn’t almost as unpopular with the public as the president and Republicans might like to believe.
“During the campaign, he said, ‘Let’s secure the border, let’s deport the criminal element and then we will deal in a compassionate way typical of the way America has treated people in the past, ‘” the NY lawmaker told Camerota. She added, “Now, Republicans are disgracing every pledge of transparency and regular order”.
The Wall Street Journal: “In the first five weeks of his presidency, Donald Trump has left business leaders with a sense of cautious optimism-they’re optimistic because they like his message on taxes, infrastructure and regulations, but cautious because so many details are left to be filled in”. “Tonight, the President’s rhetoric did not match reality”.
