I'll pass on this one. If there will be anything in this that isn't just his propaganda, I'm sure it'll be newsworthy enough on its own and I'll read about it elsewhere.

I'm tuned in mostly so that if this fuckstick declares national emergency so he can build his stupid fucking wall I can witness history being made.

Anyone doing live factchecking? Or can we safely assume all fact checkers are on suicide watch?

Meh, I really don't wanna give the network the views for allowing trump to use it as a propaganda platform. I'll pass and read about it after.

Doesnt it not matter if you’re watching it via TV Unless you have one of the view-tracking boxes?

"mexico will pay for the wall indirectly"

They're putting him on for ratings despite the fact he would take over their business since it's not state propaganda.

Also how classy is it that this whole address is boiling down to “wall is good Democrat’s are BAD this is why you are doing it”

Is that a surprise?

Classy fearmongering.

"The wealthy build their walls around their homes because they love the people inside" Nice

oh boy here's the politicization of tragedies and stoking fear-mongering.

well that was a whole lot of nothing

Real classy invoking the oath of office when you've been actively violating it for more than two years straight now.

At least he didn't declare a national emergency.

holy fuck My parents are watching fox and they’re actually airing a guy who straight up fact checked trump. I’m surprised he wasn’t shut off after 10 seconds

Trump's base must be the most scared people on the planet I swear

Golly gee, all of those 4 (likely inflated) cases of immigrants committing crimes has me convinced to support pouring billions of dollars into ineffective border security! MAGA!

Welp, bit disappointed I didn't get to see history made. But that's a good thing, because if I had witnessed history being made we'd be FAR worse off than just hearing an emotional spiel of lies get thrown out to guilt-trip congress into giving him wall money. Stay strong, Congress, tell this oaf to fuck off. Shove a funding bill across his desk that explicitely denies him wall money, then override his veto.

I feel gross after watching this. Fuck this clown.

I just love how his entire argument is pathos based on "we need to care and protect our citizens by building this wall" while currently gutting healthcare, inciting violence against citizens with differing views, accusing anyone citizen or not who disagrees with him as deserving to be arrested and saying "this shit wont be my problem, ill be dead by then" really shows how much he cares about us!!

so basically nothing

Pretty much what I expected.

So this was pretty much him getting a booster shot to his ego rather than anything useful? I also can't wait until he declares this the most successful address ever and that it made everyone believers.

Yeah, that's pretty much the end goals of the people Trump's working for anyway.

What a load of bullshit. It was all misleading, fearmongering, and think of the children. And none of it a wall would help

I can't wait for the fucking shiteaters to try and say NO WE WERE ANTITRUMP THE WHOLE TIME

From what I'm seeing, there wasn't. So I'm glad I didn't tune in. Also: https://www.nytimes.com/2019/01/08/us/politics/trump-speech.html
