However, Audrey, Elizabeth Warren did find the time to clap for the left-wing economic proposals that Trump took from her.
Maybe Trump really is leaning toward Rubio.
Quite a few congressional Democrats are scrolling their phones in the chamber during Trump’s remarks. That includes Senator Elizabeth Warren, who is sitting in the front row.
Like Kamala Harris, who Joe Biden made the point person on initiatives like identifying the “root causes” of immigration and countering “voter suppression” schemes at the state level, where the federal government had no role, JD Vance has been set up to fail by Trump.
The commission aimed at rooting out corruption that Vance will chair is unlikely to root out corruption at the scale that Trump’s voters expect. And, if they take control of Congress, Democrats are going to hang whatever corruption they find in the Trump administration around the commission’s neck.
Trump’s jab at Nancy Pelosi when discussing stock trading by members of Congress was one of his better moments. But now it has triggered the part of the address where members of Congress think they’re hecklers at a comedy club.
I’m sure JD Vance is thrilled to be assigned to a “War on Fraud” with the stated goal of delivering a balanced budget “soon.”
The fact that this has turned out to be such a sedate speech so far shouldn’t blind us to the reality that John pointed out – the Republican president of the United States just promised to full-throatedly defend our transparently failing entitlement system untouched and received a standing ovation.
Trump extending federal retirement contributions to all private-sector workers, as he just said he would, would put him alongside FDR and LBJ as one of the biggest entitlement-state expanders in American history.
That Nancy Pelosi jibe amidst the congressional insider trading condemnation was well-placed. Nancy’s trading acumen is so famous that she has an ETF named after her (NANC).
Trump has gotten nearly all congressional Republicans to applaud an Elizabeth Warren proposal to ban institutional homebuyers, effectively redistributing homes from poorer renters to wealthier owners.
