Im still cheering for Trump
Placeholder Image
Donald Trump sure hit it out of the park Tuesday night.Like millions of other people in America who tuned in to the president’s first State of the Union Address, I’m still cheering.I wasn’t in Washington, in Soviet California, or anywhere else in Trump’s America.I was actually on a cruise ship with my wife on the other side of the world in the Tasman Sea between New Zealand and Australia.After I watched Trump’s prime-time TV address live in my cabin on the Celebrity Solstice - Wednesday afternoon, my time - I tweeted that it was so phenomenal I wanted to watch it all over again.I wasn’t kidding - or seasick.I hadn’t heard such a great speech by a president in a long, long time. And 75 percent of its 46 million viewers said they liked it, too, according to the polls.The Hate Trump Media disagreed, of course. They thought the address went on too long.But that was because they couldn’t wait to start picking it apart for being too gloomy, too mean to illegal immigrants or for mentioning “America” too many times.Trump was interrupted more than a hundred times by the applause of everyone in the chamber except a bunch of bitter and sullen Democrats.The Democrats - some of them dressed in black as part of some phony protest - refused to show the slightest sign of approval for the president when he pointed out how well America’s workers and the economy are doing.Lowest black unemployment rate in recorded history?
