The US reality-TV president has shown a stubborn resistance to playing the role of a normal commander-in-chief
Theres only one political body that is more incompetent than the Iowa Democratic party. That body was delivering what could be its last State of the Union speech on Tuesday.
For the fourth year, Donald Trump pretended to address Congress like his presidential predecessors, with some kind of legislative agenda worthy of the chief executive of the most powerful country on the planet.
But our reality-TV president has shown a stubborn resistance to playing anything like the normal role of a commander-in-chief. This time last year, he threatened war if Congress continued to investigate his many varied scandals, crimes and impeachable abuses.
If there is going to be peace and legislation, there cannot be war and investigation, he said in a nonsense rhyme that sounded like the vaguely ominous threats of a childish bully armed with nuclear weapons. It just doesnt work that way!

(12,712 posts)Trump is playing this like a show and acting all the way through it and it seems his speech writers are helping with the script.
Freedom tickles the toes and removes corns and calluses, too! Freedom is like a bigger menu at McDonald's. Freedom is the amazing number of brands of frozen pizza you can choose from. Freedom is being homeless if you want to. Freedom is HD streaming any movie you want to watch. Freedom is a mono-religion in a mono-culture.
"If we are going to have true freedom, we just have to stop the people who think they are free from doing things we don't believe are freedom by taking away their freedom when necessary so that we can be free to do anything we want to! That's the way it works, so more law and order, military aggression and bigger prisons mean freedom for the soul."

As the Speaker said,it was a dirty speech. One has to be a older person to really understand the usage of Dirty Speech. Just being polite.
