Put Congress on notice. And reminded the Country that their Congressmen will certainly sell them out if they think they can get away with it.
Took shots at major corporate opposition. Took victory laps on policy victories. Doubled down on major populist initiatives. The Federal 401K contributions will undoubtedly win favor especially with lower income people. Likely also a nod to those who felt forgotten by the Trump Accounts policy push.
Once again also renewed his pledge to protect Medicare, Medicaid and Social Security. Which will likely be a sticking point for the more libertarian leaning. But is liable to curry favor with the non-Libertarian leaning right, and centrists. Also announced the formation of a fraud task force headed by JD Vance. Making the VP actually do something other than busywork and diplomatic niceties is an interesting departure from norms.
Though when he brought up Iran. I was kinda half expecting him to announce something to the effect of “As I speak. We just yoinked the Ayatollah and his advisors.”
I was hoping he would announce the arrest of traitors in Congress and calling in the military, but also knew we're not quite there yet.
For those of us who know it would have been glorious. But you are right, the masses are not there yet.
Hopefully soon. We are seeing what happens in Mexico when you take out some leadership and leave enough of the organization intact to cause trouble.
Imagine if the Ayatollah and Shah were in attendance lmfaooo
Just out of the blue.
And then Trump brings them up on stage and they announce that the conflict is over and Iran will no longer threaten the Free World.
A frog can dream...
That's next year bro
