Yep. His message is the kind of thing the American people have been yearning to hear for a long time.

Not refuting the information but my characterization of the source. (you were right)
I will take that as he hit 10 for 61. In that great speech.
Keep giving Trump a pass, we'll all be living in Atlantic City

While I love the meltdown of the left (I remember when goldy praised Obama's last SOTU as an amazing speech)... it's disheartening to see that the right has completely abandoned any small government principles it at least pretended to have in the past

wow, who'da thunk that
Trump is not the right nor is he the left. I know you're aware of that and I think there are still many on the right who keep to their principles but for sure are along for the ride for now
I mean, I could refute the source too, but when the following article explains why women who fake orgasms are more likely to cheat ... it's almost not even fair.
Try harder.
I agree with that. I'd first like to see what America would look like under a pro business environment first before we decide how to attack the budget. If the plans work out there are more options. Do you agree?

Yes... I like the approach of cutting taxes - obviously... but as far as I can tell there are no cuts to spending - which I find abhorrent.

Yeah, goldfly praised an Obama speech.
That guy was terrible at speeches
I'm so partisan cause I said if that was a great speech, the bar is set pretty low now.
Y'all have gone full koolaid if a vague speech that is mostly getting praised cause it wasn't his late night twitter rants. Thus why the bar is pretty low.
he talked about buying american and hiring american and making in america. something he as a business man has never really done for his products.
it was a fluff speech and as long as he didn't go straight hating on the 1st amendment like usual it was a victory for him.
his political bull**** with the wife of the Navy Seal can go **** himself over btw.

You never addressed the content from politifact
Instead talked about the click bait surrounding the article
51 in 61 minutes.
That would be. One every 72 seconds, or virtually, every breath
Bush43 yellow cake speech can't hold a candle to this.
On top of this, hours later the AG found himself in a pickle of perjury
for the "Russian Thing"
Back to the content, even if it was 20 times in 61 minutes that would be astonishing or even 10 !!!
Or, one would be telling
But criticize me !
I would suggest you maybe try a little less hard
Not even sure how you can compare the two to be honest.
"The Center for American Progress claimed that he made 51 incorrect statements, crowdsourcing factcheckers in a Google doc"
This isn't elementary school, 57.
Exploitation is only exploitative when it's coming from someone you disagree with.
Got it.

even should 51 be an overblown number, where would you put it ?

6 trillion spent in the Middle East?
Trump again decried the country’s spending on wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.
"America has spent approximately $6 trillion dollars in the Middle East, all this while our infrastructure at home is crumbling," he said, returning to a familiar talking point.
Trump is citing the high-end estimate of credible analyses of spending associated with the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. Yet he is confusing money that’s been spent with money that researchers say will be spent.
Through this fiscal year, the United States has spent about $3.8 trillion, with another estimated $1 trillion in expected care for veterans of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan into the middle of the century. If you add in the accumulated interest on the money borrowed to pay for those wars, the total reaches $7.9 trillion by 2053.
Mother****er lies for sport, even $3.8 is an outrageous amount,
why say 6 ?
or he is unprepared, not a good look either way
