Mick Mulvaney just told Chuck Todd that trump is going to concentrate on the successes and accomplishments of the last year.
What say you, about 8-10 minutes?

(17,182 posts)It'll be glorious. Grown men swooning, screaming, and throwing their panties on the podium. Just like a Tom Jones concert.

(23,105 posts)I think he'll do a 60 min. lie-athon and the real truth will not be heard. I will not be watching to verify this, however.
kydo
(2,679 posts)He could probably milk 8 mins, if he stays to the teleprompter. If he goes off on his tangents and his minions cheer at every dumb thing, this could last a while.

(65 posts)I won't be watching because Trump speaking literally makes me want to puke. He will mostly take credit for the economy, even though that's BS. Taking credit for the economy will be 97% of the "speech."

(63,875 posts)we think alike...I wonder how many cheeseburgers he had before his teleprompter bs talk. I am not watching either. Not worth watching treasonous bastards.
Oh I was listening to Randi Rhodes this afternoon a big announcement he will be making about North Korea.........
smirkymonkey
(63,221 posts)would rejoice at his passing. I can't watch him either. I just can't stand the sight of his ugly face or the sound of his voice. He thinks he is so great and he is so hated. He has no clue as to what a loser he is. I'll check in here to see if anything earth-shattering is said and if I manage to stay up late enough, I will listen to Joseph Kennedy.
Good to hear from you!
Cha
(297,322 posts)a Lot and point his little fingers at those who oppose this gd Russian dictatorship.

(63,221 posts)It's nauseating! I couldn't sit through it if I tried. Maybe Melania will drop a bomb on him tonight. It could happen
Cha
(297,322 posts)but I imagine the birther melania will sit there with a frozen smile basking in the heinous limelight.
Stormy Daniels will be on Jimmy Kimmel afterwards.. any port in the storm!

(297,322 posts)it sounds like a lot. Any particular reason, you think?
NCTraveler
(30,481 posts)That alone accounts for most. There is also a little adjustment going on and will probably continue. It will be interesting to see how it works out with the tax scam. It will most likely show a short term boom as it was directed toward the larger investor class.
United Health took the biggest dive. There are also concerns of inflation.
Cha
(297,322 posts)United Health Care at the 1st of the year.
They seem to be really on top of it.. I had excellent recommendations about them before I did.
George II
(67,782 posts)....its reasonable (~$25 per month each) and covers quite a bit with low co-pays. We have three generic prescriptions (high blood pressure each and lipitor for me) that are only $2 per month each.
Cha
(297,322 posts)"biggest dive" for UnitedHealth, do you think?

(27,815 posts)... that Trump's first SOTU speech would be:
"Good evening. As promised, I have now fixed everything. Good night."
Kirk Lover
(3,608 posts)favorite and really the only subject: himself. Wasn't his disgusting convention speech long? Or did it just feel that way.
