Once again democrats showed us why hey are losing elections. Please keep it up.

The irony of democrats parading illegal immigrants and Trump inviting the kin of folks killed by illegal immigrants was brilliant on his part. It seems to me that Trump has an answer/response for every stunt the democrats pull.

Agreed. I've seen a couple of speeches at his rallies where he brought up families of the victims that have been killed by illegal immigrants and it was emotionally moving to watch; doing the same before Congress was powerful.

IMO...President Trump was speaking and pointing (LOL) to the democrats. He spoke their language and took a page out of their playbook which shocked the crap out of them. They looked like a dear in headlights.

As for me...his democrat roots shined through big time. It blinded me. A trillion dollars in infrastructure that I paid taxes for already. Does this fall in double taxation category...?

Obama gave us 800 billion on the Stimulus Bill for "shovel ready jobs". Now Trump did one better by 200 billion. A trillion dollar Infrastructure Bill for guess what "shovel ready jobs".

It sure wasn't a conservative speech but then Trump isn't a conservative. I give him a A-plus for a great republican/democrat speech.

I support him but please President Trump stay out of my wallet...please...!

All of Obamas 800 billion went in the pockets of democrat donors. Lets hope the Trump money actually gets things done.

IMHO, President Trump isn't going to do anything unless he makes money at it and I'm not saying that in a negative way.  Pretty much everything trickles down to the taxpayer footing the bill in one way or another, but revamping the infrastructure is going to put a lot of people back to work and he's got corporations coming back into this country to do business and in a long run I have absolutely no doubt he has the ability to get this economy going.  Yes, he's going to make a ton of money in doing so, but I believe in doing so it will benefit most Americans in this country.  He is also curtailing illegal immigration which in itself will be a shot in the arm to the economy...illegals have drained this country for so long that it will be lifting a tremendous financial burden.

No ... I wasn't a Trump supporter, but so far President Trump needs to be given a whole lot of credit for what he's attempting to do.  He may be a liberal at heart, but I now believe that he is putting America and Americans first ... big difference from the liberal aholes in Congress.

This is a carry over from his campaign trail where he named and sited victims on a regular basis! What surprises me the most is There was very little new in this speech but all the MSM is raving about it! That tells me how little these people have been listening to him! Trump is still on his agenda and what I caught as the biggest take away is his reminding the RINO's of the campaign promises they made and his unswerving agenda to hold their feet to the fire to do what they promised the American people they would do!

I am finding it interesting the way the media is reacting. The facts are a huge majority of people who watched the speech are reacting positively to it, including democratic voters. But media sources are doing everything they can to avoid admitting Trump hit an out-of-the-park home run last night. CBS admits that 58% of democratic voters viewed the speech favorably - but of course they broke it up into two figures, 40% favorably, and later, 18% very favorably.

In short, media heads are exploding, because Trump is acting the leader they can only dream about seeing from their own politicians - after taking masses of hallucinogens.

You need to do some studying before posting this nonsense!

Trump always talked about infrastructure as being paid for by lease and severance revenue collected by private use of federal lands.

You believe that nonsense if you want to....!

He's going to get a trillion dollars from lease and severance.

How LITTLE people were listening to him during the campaign - he condensed and repeated the campaign speeches.  The few updates were "names" of cabinet appointees, and Executive Orders he's signed.   I was really surprised to hear all this 'glowing, Presidential, unifier, talk from the MSM - it's what he's been saying the whole campaign!!!  Yea, I listened to many of Trump's speeches, and Ted and Paul, etc., that's what you do if you're trying to make an educated choice.   I guess the MSM listened for the FIRST time... "Hey, he sounds presidential - wow!"   

It's pretty difficult to fight against ideas you actually support...    DUH!   He holds several liberal positions, so he effectively 'defanged the opposition' - for now.

Here's the real PROBLEM...  He has got to start leading and driving his agenda (hopefully that's a Constitutional Conservative Agenda).
At best ... Trump got the attention of the Senate and House, now he needs to show solid leadership.  Nothing really jumped out as "new" to me, but we'll see what happens next.

Obama didn't use the stimulus as it was intended. he squandered it on his pet projects many overseas! Trump on the other hand I believe will spend it on American infrastructure, A real job creator! By getting people off public assistance and into real jobs it will create a broader tax pool and actually increase the federal revenue! Ronnie did this in the 80's with his 600 ship navy and military expansion! It looks like Trump wants to follow the same model but actually on a larger scale by not just rebuilding the military decimated by 8 years of Obama but also massive infrastructure projects long past do!
I do not want to increase our debit but I am practical enough to see that if we do not invest in rebuilding America and putting people back to work this country will continue in it's debit/death spiral and things will continue to get worse!
Perhaps there needs to be some strings on the funding like releasing it incrementally as needed after results begin to show. Example would be to give 25% of what he requested up front with a series of 15% payment after curtain goals are achieved! This would be a more reasonable approach then the stimulus given Obama! Congress needs to be active and involved!

Trump has been leading on his agenda but the Senate has hamstrung him this last month! There is only so much can be done by EO. The House and senate republicans both Conservative and RINO's must come together and drive the necessary legislation through for him to sign! It is the Congress not Trump that is stumbling. I am hoping that his real accomplishment from this speech will be the pressure needed to spark congress into action! He put it all out there for Americans to see with this address. If the republicans still refuse to do the things they were elected to do there will be hell to pay.
If the leadership in the house and senate still refuse to do the peoples will they should be replaced with a new leadership that will!
