Since he is clearly running on the economy, I find his lies about the differences between his and the past administration the most offensive. He hasn't created more jobs, wages when inflation is factored aren't higher, look at most recent past presidents and their growth rate is significantly higher, the lies just keep on coming. But I do know his base eats that stuff like candy, they don't care because they hate the democrats and want to hold on for four more years.

I new Pete would follow quickly, saves me typing, but some of the lies are just outrageous. The one about pre-existing conditions is ridiculous, since they have done everything legally they can possibly do to eliminate all aspects of Obama Care.

Carry on, nothing will change, the lies will continue and we will continue to be governed by tweet.

I agree with some of that. Would have been better if he said "while the previous administration inherited a mess and did a decent job bringing us back...I took a different approach by cutting taxes and eliminating regulations, and that has allowed us to improve meaningfully, far beyond what anyone thought was realistic." I'm not sure you can say that Obama's economic agenda was a failure. It wasn't nearly as robust as what we have now, but it wasn't a failure. The $750B "stimulus' was a pathetic failure, but that was one bill that flopped completely, even Obama later admitted so. . But As a whole, the economy was better when Obama left than what he inherited.

Spot on. The constant bashing of prior admin. was childish and offensive. The lies were to be expected.

Trump has now tweeted/retweeted more about Pelosi's reaction to his speech than about the content of his own speech. Four times more.

Because the sick, demented whore gave him a huge gift. He'd be an idiot not to use it. If you think you've seen the last of Trump using that to his advantage, you're wrong.

Good thing about Nancy, when she finally does have the big stroke, no one will notice the difference.

You want us to listen to Schiff? Schiff said yesterday that Trump was going to sell Alaska to Russia in exchange for election help. That's not crazy, nope.
