It was funny, educational, completely off script, very revealing of an incredibly smart, capable President and insightful of his views.

What struck me (one of many things) was his his accounting of why he fired Mattis who he had nicknamed’Mad Dog’.

POTUS really wants to put a stop to endless wars so he asked Mattis how long would it take to get out of Iraq. The answer was two years. POTUS secretly flew to Iraq to talk with generals on the ground. They told him if they were allowed to hit ISIS from every direction, they could annihilate them in two weeks.

POTUS gave them the orders, flew back and fired Mattis.

What I thought was astonishing was that he was able to spend all that time in Vietnam, fly the distance back through the maximum number of time zones, and within a short time deliver a speech with that much energy!

He outworks people a quarter his age!

This is the man Rosenstein, McCabe & Co. thought could be put out of commission by the 25th Amendment on the grounds of inability to perform the duties of the office...and the country was supposed to believe it?

By the way, McCabe and the rest don't understand how the 25th Amendment is designed--if their attempted coup had succeeded, Trump would still be President Trump, and Pence would just be the Acting President.

“One of the anti bunch preferred to call it a profanity laced diatribe.”

What...no affectionate references to the “plain talk express”, or “Give ‘em hell, Donald!”?

Oh—sorry—only ‘rats get that kind of a pass.

Nick's schtick tires easily, particulary in deep stretch when he contrasted Trump 'nobody has left' with some unnumbered stragglers hitting the lobby for a vape or whatever. That's douchebaggery.

Yeah, Nick, when you read this, you are a douchebag. You need to grow the f up.

I think now what I thought in 2016:

He will be (re-)elected if he A) stays in the race (office), and B) avoids unprecedented voter fraud.

B) concerns me.

"Darling...Darling, is the wind blowing today? I'd like to watch television!"

I totally busted a gut when he said this! I still laugh when I read it.

Best speech ever! So proud of our President! #MAGA

The great thing about a great speech, in this age of the Internet: It lives forever and will, in, say, 2 years, be just as accessible to those who may have missed it as it today...

Every source I watched had terrible audio with echo due to location of the mics. Do you have any good sources?

He flies in an aironautical mansion, there was no sleep disturbance nor jet lag we economy flyers must endure.

Good point. We must make the distinction between the Left’s perjorative/denigrating/smearing use of the term “right-wingers” s versus “conservatives”, “free thinkers”, “independent thinkers”, Republicans, and “politically aware”.

This should be challenged wherever terms like “right-wing”, “far right extremists”, “neo-fascists”, etc. is used.

Excellent... thank you.

It's good to see how strong the President's support is with some ...... I just hope we have enough who feel the same way when Nov. 2020 rolls around.

Voter Fraud “MUST” be exposed and dealt with before 2020. That’s a priority!! Voter Fraud MUST be dealt with and those involved indicted and sent to prison.

Start with California, Illinois, Wisconsin, New York, Virginia, and go through every state; every single one with a microscope.

Hillary was ponderously talking about voters' rights yesterday in Selma.

When she spews about “the right to vote”, she really means .... the right to vote more than once.
