Remarks by President Trump to the 72nd Session of the United Nations General Assembly
That was a great speech delivered by an American Patriot to the world.
Thanks for the thread and links Knarf.
Sorry, was typing a response & my comp rebooted and is still updating 3 hours later.
You & I want the same thing: end of DACA. I am on record as favoring no “border security” or wall compromises so that it does fail.
A “naked DACA” won’t pass. If it does, unfortunately Trump will sign-—which is why he threw it back to the House.
My larger point is that many things go into a successful presidency, and at the top is the economy. Clinton stayed in office despite committing perjury purely because of the economy. A successful conclusion to NORKs & ISIS would define Trump’s presidency. I know this isn’t what you want to hear but of ALL the people I personally know-—in AZ!-—not one would put DACA or immigration as the top issue. ALL cite “economy” or “businessman in charge” as their main issue.
Please don’t try to tell me how they have it wrong. My point to you is purely data: Trump could completely blow immigration & be reelected bigger. Again I agree with you on the issue, but totally disagree that DACA either way will significantly impact his reelection. If I start to hear differently I’ll let you know-—but their reaction to the speech I can guarantee will be “YEAH!”
Thanks for the link.
3 hours??? WTF?

OK. We pretty much are on the same page there.
Clinton stayed in office despite committing perjury purely because of the economy.
There was also the small matter of Big Media being a mouthpiece for the democRAT Party ... Nixon was hounded from office for far less ... because it suited the purposes of the democRAT Party (and the USSR, and North Viet Nam, and ...)

Can't argue with what people want. May not agree with them, but that's a separate issue.
but their reaction to the speech I can guarantee will be “YEAH!”
Sure ... I gave it a strong B+ on the "grade the speech" thread. But it wasn't really about the economy. It was about foreign threats and foreign socialism. And a good bit of "damning with faint praise" directed at the UN.
Actually, the download of updates took . . . six hours!
And on Nixon, his economy was crap. Don’t forget he had to invoke “wage & price controls” to try and stop inflation (didn’t work), and in 1973 we had the “oil crisis.” Many historians have speculated that despite the media, had Nixon had Clinton’s economy, he would have survived.
If Obama had given this speech, North Korea would have never got the nukes.
