VIDEO: Join us as President Donald J. Trump delivers the Weekly Address.
My fellow Americans, this is a season of great hope. Happy Easter and Happy Passover!

Mr. Trump, Americans are entitled to FREEDOM from government, not a guaranteed income by government. Guaranteed income by government is socialist tyranny, the antithesis of freedom. We choose FREEDOM.
God bless you Mr. Trump and God bless America.
It’s interesting what people hear when they listen to the exact same comments.
You heard him promising entitlements.
I heard him promising to bring capitalist free market solutions to every community.
As conservatives, part our mandate is to think in positive terms, trust in our chosen leader and give him the benefit of our trust.
Reading the worst into every situation is not what Conservatives do. It is what our adversaries do.
It is sad to see so many people thinking they are on our side, adopt the mindset of Leftists who see a boogeyman hiding behind every Trump phrase.
That presentation was the best one in over eight years, and we all know it. It may have been one of the best ones ever from a Christian vantage point.
Sadly, the focus of some will be to extrapolate evil from something where none existed.
Folks, are we one people united to see this nation thrive or not?
If some of us break off and join the Democrats in carping about something at every turn involving imagined transgressions, our forces will be continually devided.
The carping has got to stop.
divided
After the famine in the WH for the past 8 years,
We rejoice that GOD and CHRIST are once again found in our White House.
WINNING!
MAGA
I must have missed the entitlements part re a guaranteed income.
Americans long were Constitutionally protected in far more than mere worship. Check out Davis v. Beason 1889 133 US 333,341-343, 348(1890) quoted from in America’s God and Country Encyclopedia of Quotations Wm. J. Federer Editor p.597-599 n.8. In New York State ,and all those other States named here—”the free exercise and enjoyment of religious profession and worship without discrimination shall hereafter forever be allowed....” In 1892 The unanimous US supreme Court decided Church of the Holy Trinity v.the United States 143 US 457, Feb.29,1892 decided.”...this is a Christian nation...” The collection of lectures by Justice David Brewer discussing this unanimous decision titled The United States:a Christian nation,Little Brown and Company,1905
“America was born a Christian nation....”Woodrow Wilson Denver Colorado May 7,1911. While America has invited the historic Enemy of our Country and our way of life to America Their religion of destruction,conquest-and death —their religion of forced submission—their pagan deity Allah-and their Shariah /Islamic law is NOT now nor has it ever been compatible with our God and Country.
I didn’t hear anything about “entitlements” either.
I agree about the carping.
We have been given one of the great Presidents to ever occupy the Oval Office and all we keep hearing is the whining of conservatives.
I am fed up with it and will be doing less and less reading of these so-called “conservative” websites.
Meant to Ping you to Post #8. :)
:-) Gotcha’ Thanks
as LS might say, this will be “RESURRECTION DAY”
Ping!

Well, I’m not sure your critique of my comment about part of what Trump said is fair. So far, when it comes to economic hardship in America, Trump’s position has been more government in the form of tariffs which hinders the free market. But he also talks about the free market. So he talks about both.
Here, Trump said to “struggling Americans who have felt the the bitter taste of hardship” that “the White House is fighting for all those left behind” and to “work and live with the dignity all are entitled to know.” “No one left behind” and “entitled” are usually code words for more government.
So I think my comments are reasonable and I don’t think deserve to be lumped in with the mindless knee-jerk comments, usually from #NeverTrumpers, which “read the worst into every situation” and “adopt the mindset of Leftists who see a boogeyman hiding behind every Trump phrase” and certainly has nothing to do with “breaking off and joining the Democrats.” That would be the antitheses of the point of my comments.
When it comes to our elected politicians like Trump who we have and do support, I don’t believe our “mandate” is blind trust. That’s how we got into this mess to begin with. I believe in “Trust but Verify”.
Mindless bad-faith bias against Trump and everything he does is destructive and demoralizing. But good-faith, thoughtful questioning of a particular issue or statement of Trump can be helpful and informative. I don’t think we serve our country well by mindless acquiescence to our politicians including Trump and if Trump is the man I think he is, I don’t think he’d want that either. He doesn’t need a following of “Yes men.” He needs a following of knowledgeable and faithful patriots who love God and our country who may disagree with him from time to time on particular issues.
The answer to #NeverTrumpers is to blast them, support Trump in every way you can, and if he says or does something that you consider harmful, say so.
Remember, Trump is on a continuum going from the Left where he (and most of the rest of us) started, to the Right where he’s headed. You and I don’t know where he is on that continuum. So, again, let’s support him every way we can but let’s not be afraid to speak up when there may be a good reason to. IMO, that is our job.

Amen! Miracles happen! We’ve just seen one, and it was “Yuge”!
You are certifiably nuts. The government has had a role in destroying the American worker and the American dream. Terrible trade deals that see our manufacturing base transferred overseas costing American jobs; a mass immigration policy that has brought in 35 million legal permanent immigrants since 1990 and 650,000 guest workers annually depressing wages and taking more jobs from Americans.
We are ENTITLED to expect a government that cares more about its own citizens than the special interests of a few and the global elites. The American worker has been left behind as the political elites are bought and paid for by their corporate paymasters and special interests.
Trump’s position has been more government in the form of tariffs which hinders the free market.
No, Trump is talking about leveling the playing field so we have a real free market. Why should China be allowed to tax our exports and we don't assess them any "border tax." Most of the countries in world have a border tax and we don't. This is about reciprocity. There is no free market otherwise.
As I said, “No one left behind” and “entitled” are usually code words for more government. Your diatribe seems to agree.
Betcha we won’t be hearing any blessing of Ramadan coming from this particular Prez ...
For eight years, I tried not look at Obama or hear anything he said because I felt that he was the Enemy in Chief of America, and, therefore, my enemy.
Did he actually say a blessing of Ramadan?
They are "code words" to you, but you are not dealing with a full deck. Trump has been reducing government by eliminating regulations, introducing a budget that proposes a massive reduction in the size of government, and pushing authority down to state and local government. He got us out of TPP, appointed a conservative SCOTUS who is an originalist, pushed American business to stay here and come home with their jobs, and started enforcing our immigration laws. Trump is concerned about the forgotten man in this country, the ones who live in the rust belt, the inner cities, and in small town America. It is economic nationalism that fulfills the true role of the government to protect its citizens.
I have no doubt you didn't support Trump from the very beginning and that you are a libertarian who supported Cruz. I get it from you concern trolls.
Your diatribe seems to agree.
You must have a reading comprehension problem. I was not advocating for more government, but rather, a government that cares about its citizens more than special, corporate, and global interests.
