I agree, it was an awesome speech.

A refreshing change from the typical empty rhetoric we get from the typical politicians.

Awful speech, still playing to the rubes and not reaching out to anyone else. At a time when our economy is the envy of the world, he said he plans to end America's "carnage." Trump's still an authoritarian wannabe with no grasp of history or America's place in the world.

I expected an elitist dick like you to say something like that.

In fact, I would have been disappointed if you hadn't.

I'm the elitist, eh? Have you taken a peak at your Trumpenfuhrer's cabinet (or for that matter how your Trumpenfuhrer has decorated his Trump Plaza place like a French whorehouse?)

He has grasped that we have over reached.

Or so says the guy pulling his strings, your boy Vladimir.

Here's what a conservative writer for the Post had to say about his speech:

Addressing a shockingly sparse crowd, he painted a picture of a hellish America that can only be restored by turning inward, deciding the world is a burden and our allies are thieves.

Yes, you are.

It's refreshing to hear a President stand up for ordinary working class people.

But I understand that probably feels threatening to elitist, gravy train riding snobs like you.

He's standing up to stupid, angry and resentful people, a group to which you clearly belong. Congratulations.
