Trump In Campaign Mode With This Phoenix Speech.....

was said to be in true Trump form. He was revisiting all those things/promises that got him elected. The only problem is that he has been in office for 8 months now and hasn't been able to make right on those promises.

When are his supporters going to realize that he can make all the promises he can - but he can't make good on any of them - and that he is leading them down the same path again with campaign speeches like this. He is lying to them.

Get with it people - he's ineffective as a president and every day he's becoming more ineffective. The only thing that he can do good is make promises he can't keep.

If this is a campaign event then his cabinet members are not allowed to participate. Carson spoke. Others attended. What's the penalty?

this event. He has a 2020 campaign fund or did We The People pay for that debacle?

Just the night before he flipped on his promise to Trump humpers about getting out of Afghanistan.
