Trump's totally pointless 18-minute speech: "One year ago, our country was dead. We were absolutely dead," said President Donald Trump in a kind of rambling and weird address to the nation last night. "Our country was ready to fail. Totally fail. Now we're the hottest country anywhere in the world." Is that so? Americans largely beg to differ.
In the spring, Americans will see "the largest tax refund season of all time," he teased. And the government will soon be sending checks of $1,776 to all members of the military. OK. He said nothing about a possible war with Venezuela—what most political observers had expected the address to focus on—and was very light on foreign policy, heavy on domestic.
