President Donald Trump delivered his first State of the Union speech on Tuesday, January 30, 2018 before congress.
The State of the Union address feels like a very old American ritual, and it is. It’s mandated by the Constitution, which says the president shall “from time to time give to the Congress Information of the State of the Union, and recommend to their Consideration such Measures as he shall judge necessary and expedient.”

Les Kurdes ont tout fait !!! Ce sont eux qui ont détruit Daech et ils ne méritent pas qu'on les laissent à la portée des avions du dictateur Turque Ardogan, qui appuie et finance Daech et tous les extrêmistes islamistes.
On voit bien que l'on ne peut plus faire confiance à Donald Trump qui a tralli ses alliés Kurdes contre les terroristes !

Democrats have acted selfish. They should admit that things are lot better than Obama's. Cant even compare.

I fact checked most of the stuff Trump said it they were mostly false! I wish someone like a Trump supporter can tell me how’s he’s a good president because I can’t see that how he’s good, like I agree with him on some stuff but most stuff I hate him!

I actually wanted to read and be amused by all those SJW, Libs and Dems comments … can't find any! How disappointing?! Are those comments being deleted or do people actually love Trump? If the later is the case then CNN, NBC, ABC, CBS and the rest of mainstream media is nothing but a lie machine full of sheez!

You can see the Democrats don't stand at all not even all things that Trump done in only 1 yr and saved millions already on trade. Democrats won't work together at all they think of them self only and not for American people they are standouts. Democrats will sell us out and only to line their own pockets. Trump isn't done yet. Trump is the best President we had in along time. I Love Trump in in 2020.

His speech is impressive, no one can deny this. He also appears to speak from his heart, and that's hard to fake. So far, it's looking good. Just the look on some of those faces – wow he really is pissing them off. It's very exciting in America at this present moment in history.

70% of Americans either strongly support or somewhat support the speech, yet all the liberal media and dems did was cry foul and boo hoo on everything said. Seems like the public is starting to pick up on the fact that this President isn't as bad as everyone was expecting and most of the hate and rhetoric about him you hear every day is nothing but a smear campaign.

Appalling. Remarkably appalling. If Donald Trumps ignorance, indifference and complete lack of knowledge in issues that aren't solely about him personally, than his inability to learn or care about those issues should be frightening to the American people. But more frightening is his call to actual law makers that unless a country is willing to vote in favour of ANY issue that the US feels is relevant then HUMANITARIAN funding should be pulled out. These are only the poorest nations on the planet with the majority living in life threatening poverty, but don't worry at least the putting greens are manicured. Despotic, childish and wrong! Thanks America…

To my fellow brothers and sisters out there (those that believe in Jesus Christ), please, let us all continue to pray that Trump asks God for guidance in all matters and gives God thanks for all things, and let us continue to pray that we are spared from things to come. We that are saved are spared from God's Wrath, but pray that you are kept safe during Tribulation. God bless!

Perhaps if Nancy Pelosi was dropped off in the middle of where ISIS is and found herself in a cage, she would not be sitting during the State of the Union Speech. Perhaps if Nancy Pelosi had to suffer the brutality and torture that my fellow brothers and sisters are having to endure, she would not be sitting during the State of the Union Speech. She needs to watch a few videos of these innocent people people burned alive in cages and having their heads cut off with blunt knives (this includes children) and then maybe she would not be SITTING during the State of the Union Speech. Perhaps Nancy Pelosi should take all that money she spent on HER useless PLASTIC SURGERY and give to help the suffering of this world.

I really dont think that there is a democrat in office that would allow a refuge to stay in their home. All this fake acting like they care is so disconcerting. The only reason why the democrats BOO the Chain Migration bill is because they hate just to hate. Their empty souls cannot live without the fuel of hate. Also, they would lose a considerable number of votes. I would love to save every refugee out there, but the democrats would rather do it in an unsafe fashion, just letting the floodgates open. I'm not sure why they think this way. Dont they see what is happening in Europe? Again, they hate just to hate – to fuel their empty souls.

I worked for Sitel Corp – a global customer service company that provides customer service for other companies. Starbucks forced Sitel's hand because of their greed and they took jobs from U.S. Work at Home agents and gave them to agents in Nicaragua. This happened this year. I'm putting this message out everywhere I can, on the internet, to the White House, to the news stations, to my congressman, in hopes of someone somewhere that has pull sees it. This issue may go under the radar because companies like Starbucks dont have to take accountability when they are using a middleman for their customer service. Work at home customer service jobs – be it phone, chat, or email – were supposed to prevent our U.S. jobs from being moved overseas because it is more cost effective than brick and mortar, but we still ended up losing our jobs to another country – The Greed out there is insurmountable.

Nice to know Albuquerque has at least one good person on their force. I’ve seen some pretty awful things coming out of Albuquerque…..that homeless man, they just keep shooting and shooting, laughing as the victims ass wiggled from the impact of the bullets. I saw Lots of people there in that video and they got away with it……I believe, not positive, but very few every really pay for Their crimes while on duty, while we the people are paying them.

I am already hearing about ICE and their abuse of the American people. They can be Very Very bad. I am remembering the time I took my 84year old friend over the border for a meal……….he Loved dining in Mexico and it became somewhat of a ritual. For Him it was a Good day, till ICE agents entered our world. I ended up having to go inside to the highest boss on duty and tell him the Extremely rude crude and beyond behavior of this entity that call themselves ICE. That was a number of years ago and lucky for us they didn’t last long. Men in Black they were bad men, This I Know and I’m seeing evidence of their return via YouTube. Please don’t just make it against a law for me to be shown………that is what Past Administrations have done and it harmed we the people. It starts the downward spiral of distrust and disrespect for our government as a whole, this I Know too.
Isn’t there Any way to get what you and so many others want without making US the common people……suffer? We are not your enemy but ICE ACTS like we are.
I plead for a solution that Beni fits rather than imprisons us even more.
