Regardless of what side of the coin you are on, Trump ran on a platform and he is executing on that platform, quickly.
Most voters complain that politicians promise the world and never truly act on it. You are witnessing a man that is doing exactly that... What he said he would do.

Many many lies! Check Politifact. Just more lies.

He ran on a platform of closing the borders and lowering prices. Your point is fair with regards to the borders, but he certainly isn't lowering prices and tariffs will make them go up. He also didn't run on cutting soc security, Medicare, and Medicaid, but the Republican budget that just passed has cuts to Medicare and Medicaid.

Truly bad behavior on both sides. I get more disgusted by Washington every day. Scary thing is these people make the rules for us.

They don't specify the cuts, but have said Medicare is not on the block. Medicaid is and needs to be. As for inflation, Some of what he is doing may make it worse short term. So fact check says you are partly truful. Medicare and Medicaid need to be addressed and very soon. Both are close to going upside down. I am now on Medicare, and will state openly it has to be fixed thru cuts in service, higher Part B premiums, or tax increases. {probably all of the above}The idiots in Washington have avoided it forever and now the fix will hurt more than it ever needed to hurt.

Nothing you said changes the fact that he didn't run on cutting it. And also, you can pay for some of this stuff without extending the Trump tax cuts, but that obviously isn't going to happen since that's all Republicans tend to care about.

And you are correct in that they don't specify the cuts, but there is basically no way to get to the number they want to cut without cuts to these things.

And I'm sorry, but the dems not standing for the little kid who had brain cancer survivor was 100% a terrible look. Absolutely no justification for it.

I liked much of what he said, I agree with most of what he is doing, and yes I voted for him. That said I would have preferred he stand above the crowd rather than lowering himself to it's level.
Trump is Trump and isn't capable of doing that. The Democrats behavior was off the charts bad. Anyone who supports those actions isn't an American. TDS is alive and well.

You aren't teaching that old dog a new trick, unfortunately.

this is such a losing mindset.

leftists are going to sperg out and pout no matter the decorum.

when Trump trades blows on their level, that's when leftists go way over the top and lose normal people.

Morons can't see the forest for the trees, eh?

I honestly hate this type of stuff at these speeches, and both sides do it. It's just used to get an emotional reaction and take the focus off actual policy. I'm sure everyone is happy for the kid, and btw some dems did stand and many more clapped, but it's also meant to take the focus off of actual policy, including that they have literally made cuts to pediatric cancer research.

The vast majority of the dems, like Pocahontas, sat there and stared into their phones. It was a terrible look.

all media should have mentioned this right after the speech...maybe some did . believe it was one of the recent DOGE cuts.

Most of the videos i have seen dont even show most the democrats. It also doesn't take away from the fact that it's a stunt meant to take the conversation away from policies. I'm glad he got to have his moment, but I still it when either side does this type of stuff.

Still a terrible look.

The democrats should have just left from the start if they were going to do that and hold up stupid signs.
