Trumps first state of the union address in 7 hours as of this writing, what do you expect he will say?

its over, some notable talks from him are

claims:
too much hyperboles on economic progress and the tax reform
words like the best..., all time high... statements the media will fact check him

plans:
infrastructure - 1.5 trillion budget (well his plan on this is a sham according to Bernie Sanders)
wall building on the borders
merit base immigration (i agree with this)
cheaper drugs/medication (i agree with this but how he will do that with a republican plan on this though, single payer is the way to go but that is the democrat way)
drug war
nuclear weapons improvement (totally disagree with this)
isis defeat
foreign aid will only go to friends of America
sanctions on Iran, Venezuela, North Korea

here are some of the media fact checking on Trump's claims

I think Trump should look for more longsighted deals, he seems to be more impulse driven.

Like, taking a clear rough stance with China over Taiwan. Not only is Taiwan democratic and peaceful, it is a keystone in the trading port in the Pacific, if Taiwan is overtaken, China will become more or less unstoppable. He should have given China a nuclear warning, to deter any risk. Taiwan might be "off the table", but, if nuclear options are on the table too, China won't risk MAD.

I also believe he should listen more to his advisors, definitely, and not monger so much on Twitter.


As a European, and you Americans don't have what we got yet, You should be very FUCKING glad, he's strong on immigration. Believe me, the kind of terrorism we have here is not something you want, and considering USA is hated by 80% of the middle least (compared to EU who has mostly neutral emotions there). You don't wanna go down that road.

Um, no.

The tax breaks are nullified after 8 years. By that extent maybe you'd qualify it as a tax hike, but it's as it was before the break. The deductions which were doubled by the break also follow the same rules. Some obscure incentives were also temporarily cut which can raise taxes for a very minor few individuals, who are very extremely likely not poor at all. The tax cuts for businesses are just that, tax cuts, and are permanent.

No it goes up higher than it was before it started but the business owners keep their cuts. After a certain point it has to balance the budget or something. I posted a link to a well detailed summary of the tax plan in some older thread. Idk if I can find it again but too busy to look right now.

No it's not. They have to be able to qualify and done all the paper work to even be selected.

He promised 30 days. Also that's not from the US alone he said HE would do it.

The lottery is to jump to the front of the line in what is a years long process. Just because you still have to go through a process doesn't mean there's no form of lottery involved.

What, you thought he was going to land his feet on their soil with a machine gun in his hands? You can't take every little thing so seriously. If he was the savior of all of mankind, you'd complain that he didn't do it fast enough.

Donald Trump is by far the biggest American embarrassment of my lifetime and has truly made me for the first time ever DISLIKE America to such a degree.

Even Bush could not make me feel like this....and that fucking dipshit started two endless wars which we are STILL feeling the effects almost two decades later.

Personally, I'm NOT down with this whole meme shit a lot of you seem to relish on (Trump Supporters).

Memes ARE fun and funny....but NOT when the most powerful man on the planet is one of your shitty memes!

And ultimately this is what it's ALL about.

Trump Supporters LOVE the fact that Trump is hated as much as he is....the ultimate objective of a troll is to enact a strong reaction....and no one has done that better than Trump.

Sooo...here we have Trump Supporters laughing and enjoying the fact we have a literal idiot who is clearly unfit to be president while the rest of us who take it seriously can't believe we have to deal with this shit.

Go back to Obama's SOTU to see how many times the GOP would not applaud Obama even when he said things that CLEARLY were nonpartisan.

This is just a game.

I feel like people are stuck on this fantasy where Trump is the FIRST man ever to think of this idea...

"Hey, here's a thought....LET'S BUILD A WALL!"

There's a damn good reason why there is no wall in the U.S/Mexico border.

The terrain is absolutely brutal, it costs a shit ton of money, and ultimately even if you DO overcome the terrain and money issues....it's fucking pointless!

A wall will NOT deter anyone!

You might as well burn billions of dollars because that is more effective than building a useless wall.

Maybe because MS13 originated in our country instead of being brought to the US? Who knows why, but yes, not standing for them was totally distasteful.

Totally agree with this. No matter how much one likes his policies or how much they actually do for the country, Trump's toxic self-projection is going to rattle politics for a while. I don't think the littler effects right now are as important as how fit our governing body is in 10, 20, or 30 years. His conduct certainly doesn't help.

Democrats didn't stand for the parents of teenage girls murdered by MS13, yet give a standing ovation to top cuck Joe Kennedy when he fake cries for a bunch of trannies.

Maybe because MS13 originated in our country instead of being brought to the US?

lmfao what the actual fuck?
what kind of mental gymnastics did you do to reach this logic.
ms-13 was literally formed by central american immigrants in the 80's.

Oh maybe, maybe it's the clothes we wear
The tasteless bracelets and the dye in our hair
Or maybe, maybe it's our nowhere towns or our nothing places
But we're trash, you and me
We're the litter on the breeze
We're the lovers on the streets
Just trash, me and you
It's in everything we do
It's in everything we do

I'll vote no until he finally builds the much needed wall. And hopefully Mexico pays for it, just like he promised.

Literally never going to happen.

I feel like people are stuck on this fantasy where Trump is the FIRST man ever to think of this idea...

"Hey, here's a thought....LET'S BUILD A WALL!"

There's a damn good reason why there is no wall in the U.S/Mexico border.

The terrain is absolutely brutal, it costs a shit ton of money, and ultimately even if you DO overcome the terrain and money issues....it's fucking pointless!

A wall will NOT deter anyone!

You might as well burn billions of dollars because that is more effective than building a useless wall.

it was kinda boring, was funny seeing dems' hyper partisan reactions to everything though.

I'm starting to see a pattern here.

Lol...seriously, is this really the FIRST time you people have ever seen a SOTU address?

what's your point???
like rato said, the gop are cucks too.

Another person that has clearly never seen SOTU addresses before.

Go back to Obama's SOTU to see how many times the GOP would not applaud Obama even when he said things that CLEARLY were nonpartisan.

This is just a game.

Furthermore, if I had been in that crowd, I would not have applauded a single thing Trump said.
Okay, the GOP is filled with obstinate cucks. What, were you hoping for me to play team sport here?

Also, you seem to be an obstinate cuck yourself. Why?

Are you being serious right now?

"Cuck"?

Really?

I'm just saying this is how it always goes, whoever the president is, the opposing political party will play partisan ball the entire address.

Hell, I remember in Obama's final SOTU he said "This is my last SOTU" and the GOP immediately clapped and yelled with joy....while Obama laughed and gave a clearly sheepish grin at the reaction.

This is how it's always been.

For the amount of FUD Alex is spreading around about Trump, I am pleasantly surprised American still haven't deploy their concentration camps for blacks and immigrants, a stock market crash and also WWIII.

Joking? About cucks? Surely you jest.

No, I haven't seen other SOTU addresses. My basic take has always been to show the POTUS respect even in the face of disagreement. There were lots of non-partisan moments for the Democrats to take part in and they decided to do what you just told me:

"Furthermore, if I had been in that crowd, I would not have applauded a single thing Trump said."

You're being obstinate for nothing more than to make a statement that ultimately achieves nothing. It just makes you and the Dems look like sore losers.

alex is a radical centrist, but would've voted hilary if it came down to it.

ms-13 was literally formed by central american immigrants in the 80's.

El Salvadorans and other Central Americans immigrated to the U.S. and formed the gang. If a bunch of Germans moved to Thailand and formed a gang there, then the gang would have originated in Thailand. I don't know what kind of mental gymnastics you are performing to think that your race determines where your gang is from.

Edit: The gang members themselves may come from wherever, but the place that the gang is formed in is the origin of the gang. It's the same thing as an immigrant forming a business in a foreign country.

they were from central america.
