Last night’s speech by President Trump was a masterful exercise in politics. Today we see an outpouring of venom fro the world of media and democratic party circles. They don’t know what to do. The President’s words were precise, his word-smiths captured the tone and articulation that met the dignity of the Presidential office to which he was elected.
The media hurts itself when they now complain of it’s content, delivery, presentation and sincerity. Why not back off and say” We wish you luck and G-d speed on your mission. Do they want him to fail? Best of luck Mr. Trump. You have my vote.
