Democrats descended on Capitol Hill last night expecting to protest what they thought would be a divisive speech from Donald Trump. When his speech turned out to be more unifying than partisan, those Democrats didn’t seem to know how to react.
The entire speech was supremely presidential. But it wasn’t without humor. After excoriating both Democrats and Republicans for spending $6 trillion in the Middle East, [Trump] said, “We could have rebuilt our country — twice.”
He waited two beats. “And maybe even three times if we had people who had the ability to … negotiate,” Mr. Trump said, dropping into his finest “Apprentice” tone of voice.
The camera panned to Sen. Elizabeth Warren, who was exchanging perplexed glances with an equally befuddled senator. They didn’t get the line. Apparently, Ms. Warren never achieved her merit badge for reading smoke signals.
In the end, Donald Trump so dominated the entire night that Democrats were left with nothing but sullen protests.
The ladies wore white, but nobody was exactly sure why.
In a shocking development, Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg did not doze off during the hourlong address. At least not on national television. She did not show up.
And in another development that absolutely nobody cared about, Rep. Eliot Engel, New York Democrat, announced he would not shake Mr. Trump’s hand. It was not clear at press time if Mr. Trump even knows who Eliot Engel is.
There were so many protests on the Democratic side of the aisle, it was hard to keep track. Even the Democrats seemed confused about what they were protesting.
Rep. Joseph Crowley, New York Democrat, wore a giant pin protesting, well, not sure exactly what. It simply featured a large question mark.
The tepid and confused response from the left continued after Trump left the building. On CNN, leftist commentator Van Jones said that Trump “became President of the United States” during his speech.Given Jones’ previous rhetoric against Donald Trump, this may have been the most surprising and odd revelation of the night.

Never watch your news
And your service was honorable?
I think he did a great job on his speech. Too bad the dumocrats turned a deaf ear except trying to find something to grab on and create another false folley.
Cimpoca,cum spuneam si mai sus, am avut privilegiul sa cunosc oameni deosebiti, nobili care mi-au marcat cresterea si care m-au ajutat sa ma descopar ca om. Fara ei, cararea vietii ar fi fost intr-adevar mai trista. Eu am vrut sa accentuez ca in prezent nu se mai acorda atentie nobletii, mai ales celei sufletesti, din pacate. Se alearga intr-un du-te vino ametitor si se uita esSrua.ealttani noului membru al familiei din Irlanda si voua, sufletelor nobile din jur! Aveti grija sa-i ocrotiti zborul! 🙂
