Many people are concerned that this will be just another government boondoggle, and in the normal course of events, it would be.

I plan to watch the speech in it\u2019s entirety later on today. From what I\u2019ve been seeing and reading, Trump\u2019s speech went over with the American people very well. On a forum I follow, there was one poster who, yesterday, said he was going to play a drinking game. Every time President Trump used his usual tag words, he would take a drink. It seems that the poster was forced to remain sober.<\/p>\n<p>The Angry Sister, who really doesn\u2019t support President Trump, said she agreed with 90 percent of what he said. <a href=\"https:\/\/web.archive.org\/web\/20200512015826\/https:\/\/www.thediplomad.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">The Diplomad<\/a>, who is a retired State Department worker, (He finally threw in the towel when Felonia von Pantsuit began her reign of incompetence), who decided to support candidate Trump last spring, <a href=\"https:\/\/web.archive.org\/web\/20190907153537\/https:\/\/www.thediplomad.com\/2017\/03\/give-man-eleven-trumps-address-to.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">commented that he was very impressed with President Trump\u2019s speech<\/a>. The word he used was \u201cSimply outstanding.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Wall Street also appears to be very happy with what President Trump said. As of this posting, the Dow Jones is up over 240 points and has blasted through 21000 for the first time ever. (Take THAT Obama!) They see Trump\u2019s plan to Make America Great Again, clean up the tax code and crush the regulatory state as good for business, good for Americans and good for America.<\/p>\n<p>On the presentation of his speech, reminding all that I have not seen it yet, I\u2019ve been reading that while he wasn\u2019t as smooth and polished Ronald Reagan, (And honestly, who would be?), he was far superior to the former president, Barack Obama. According to <a href=\"https:\/\/web.archive.org\/web\/20190907153537\/https:\/\/www.thediplomad.com\/2017\/03\/give-man-eleven-trumps-address-to.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">the Diplomad<\/a>, who did watch the speech,<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><b>There was little in the way of fancy rhetorical flourishes and Trump does not have the mellifluous actor&#8217;s delivery of Ronald Reagan, but . . . Dang! That was one helluva speech! It was aspirational, inspirational, and practical all at the same time. He spoke some great truths about our time and delivered it in strong, clear language easy to understand and hard to ignore. He was optimistic even as he painted a dire picture of our current state. It was a superb piece of writing, and laid out an ambitious but, I think, doable scheme for the next four to eight years. <\/b><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/angry.net\/blog2\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/Reagan_toasting.jpg\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-16344\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/angry.net\/blog2\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/Reagan_toasting-199x300.jpg?resize=199%2C300\" alt=\"\" width=\"199\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/angry.net\/blog2\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/Reagan_toasting.jpg?resize=199%2C300&amp;ssl=1 199w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/angry.net\/blog2\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/Reagan_toasting.jpg?resize=500%2C753&amp;ssl=1 500w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/angry.net\/blog2\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/Reagan_toasting.jpg?w=597&amp;ssl=1 597w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 199px) 100vw, 199px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>The Democrats put up the former governor of Kentucky as their response to President Trump\u2019s speech.
