The Prez followed the teleprompter well, delivering a speech loftier than expected, however embedded with firecrackers and questions like: a $54B increase in defense spending, $54B decrease in social programs, $1 Trillion infrastructure rebuilding investment, $21B to build the “Great, great wall”, while pledging big tax cuts for the wealthy and “massive tax relief for middle class”. Talk of repealing ACA and creating a better, cheaper healthcare system with “access to all” through tax credits, and deregulating banks, businesses and agencies like EPA and FDA. Soaring rhetoric and lofty pledges delivered by a “UGE LIAR” — money pouring in from NATO? A successful Yemen raid that yielded significant intel with one Navy Seal killed and several wounded (25 civilians killed)? He’s going to eradicate ISIS, crime, drugs, poverty and illegal immigration! ALL PROBLEMS WILL BE SOLVED! We do listen to Trump differently. We hear everything through our own perceptions, beliefs and biases. Supporters cheer and opponents Boo! Politics are tribal; I am of THIS TRIBE!
