“Had his inaugural address or his past speeches to a Joint Session of Congress been in the tenor and tone of the speech Donald Trump delivered Tuesday night, he might now enjoy broader support in the country.”

Total, unadulterated horseshit! You, CNN, along with every other branch of the propaganda arm of the Democrat Party, would do everything within your power to destroy DJT’s presidency and undermine his effectiveness, no matter the cost to the country and our citizens. To call you pathological liars would be giving pathological liars a bad name; you are the purveyors par excellence of mythomania! Look it up; you’ll see your pictures there.

Agreed, he is not insane. Neither was his Father. They need the nukes as leverage for food. Period.

I agree with you.

Trump took the high road.

Dems are wallowing in the mire.

MAGA.

Gergen is an apologist for the Deep State.

Gergen was (and maybe still is) a Clinton crony.

George: Reprogram all the buttons, see if he changes them back. You know? The old switcheroo.

Jerry: No, no, the old switcheroo is you poison your drink then you switch it with the other person’s.

George: No, it’s doing the same thing to someone that they did to you.

Jerry: Yeah, Elaine’s gonna do the same thing to Puddy’s radio that the radio did to her.

George: Well that’s the gist of it!

As this is politics, and getting elected counts for a lot, minor things that help him win in 2020 are welcomed by me

Exactly, he was speaking to tens of millions who normally don't pay attention or are spoon fed fake news and are probably surprised that Trump came off NOT as an KOOK the media attempts to portray him as.

There is a larger picture you are missing. There is a reason America has been deliberately weakened for years.

That is my take too...he told the American people that he’s willing to work together, that he expects Congress to work together for the American people.

They’ve boxed themselves into a corner and will just look like juveniles if they don’t play ball...

You can’t get anymore “UNIPARTY” than Gergen (okay, Karl Rove is up there too).

Gergen works equally well with Hitler or with Stalin; oleaginous enough to serve both superbly!

I may be wrong, (doubt it), but I heard PDJT say “in my opinion” as a caveat to the NK statment.

I agree with your comments. But the situation with NK was not that simple.

The NK’s could have attacked US assets overseas. Then, the US would have to respond. NK would have no choice but to then respond with threats of using one of their secret Nuclear Missiles(whether they would really use it , who can say. Whether they really had a working one, doesn’t matter).

Other nations would be involved, and the whole thing would get out of control. Would we pre-emptively strike NK ? Would the Russians use a Nuke in defense of NK ? Would Middle East countries use the whole thing as an excuse to go after Israel ? Would Israel use Nukes to protect themselves ?

This, I believe, is what Trump was referring to.

Perhaps.

The biggest threat from NK is another all out invasion of South Korea. Or even them launching missiles (conventional) into Seoul. That would almost assuredly provoke a response that would then give the North a pretext for an all out invasion of the South. But to what end from their standpoint? A repeat of the history of 50+ years ago? We would never let the South be conquered and they’ll never unify with the “Kims” remaining in power.

So again, what do they hope to achieve? They want to stay in power and the way they do that is keeping their people suppressed/brainwashed by giving them just enough food to survive and by giving the army just a bit more food so that they keep a revolution from happening.

To say we would be at war with NK if he had not been elected is not an outrageous claim. hillary has absolutely no talent for sound judgement (that’s why she lost). She never would’ve calmed things down with North Korea.

This is not the first time his (President Trump's) speeches have tried to reach across the aisle and show heart.

President Trump has a big heart and ran for President because he cares about the country. The DC/Illuminati/DeepState creatures are in extreme survival mode, and their approach has been to gin up hatred and fear.
