| Krauthammer: ‘This Was Without A Doubt The Best Speech' Trump Has Given [VIDEO] |
| 2017-03-01 |
 [Daily Caller] Fox News’ Charles Krauthammer praised President Trump following his Tuesday address before a special joint session of Congress."This was without a doubt the best speech he ever gave," Krauthammer stated. "In fact, this should have been his inaugural address, a version of it." "It would have had actually an effect on the launch of his presidency and would have vastly reduced the hysteria that has emerged across the country from the left," he continued. |

| #11 "I, uh, uh, uh My , I, uh, uh, I"? What a great Orator Obama was - *snicker* Remember a single line from that lying mouth other than "Corpseman"? |

| #9 He's a better speech giver that his predecessor, Glenmore. If for no other reason than he believes in what he's saying. |

| #8 The Best Speech' Trump Has Given Though that's a very low bar. Love him or hate him, he is not a great speech giver. |

| #7 It is not compassionate, but reckless to allow uncontrolled entry from places where proper vetting cannot occur. I liked that line a lot. It really put the travel ban in the proper perspective. I'm sure the donks can come up with something to argue against it but it's liable to be something that will make them look stupid even to their own. |

| #6 ". . . and would have vastly reduced the hysteria that has emerged across the country from the left," he continued. Not. |

| #5 Even local news, who is on the Trump Doesn't Put His Socks On Right! bus, gave it good marks. Well...tried to spin it, but threw a knuckleball 5' in front of the plate. |

| #4 "this should have been his inaugural address, a version of it" The former speechwriter for Fritz Mondale is wrong. |

| #3 of importance to the WOT Trump kept the phrase 'Radical Islamic Terrorism' in his speech. He also acknowledged Muslim allies in the conflict w ISIS (although he didn't acknowledge the other Islamic terrorist groups.) here is extract from the NYTimes transcript Our obligation is to serve, protect and defend the citizens of the United States. We are also taking strong measures to protect our nation from radical Islamic terrorism. (APPLAUSE) According to data provided by the Department of Justice, the vast majority of individuals convicted of terrorism and terrorism-related offenses since 9/11 came here from outside of our country. We have seen the attacks at home, from Boston to San Bernardino to the Pentagon and, yes, even the World Trade Center. We have seen the attacks in France, in Belgium, in Germany and all over the world. It is not compassionate, but reckless to allow uncontrolled entry from places where proper vetting cannot occur. (APPLAUSE) Those given the high honor of admission to the United States should support this country and love its people and its values. We cannot allow a beachhead of terrorism to form inside America, and we cannot allow our nation to become a sanctuary for extremists. (APPLAUSE) That is why my administration has been working on improved vetting procedures, and we will shortly take new steps to keep our nation safe, and to keep those out who will do us harm. (APPLAUSE) As promised, I directed the Department of Defense to develop a plan to demolish and destroy ISIS, a network of lawless savages that have slaughtered Muslims and Christians, and men, women and children of all faiths and all beliefs. We will work with our allies, including our friends and allies in the Muslim world, to extinguish this vile enemy from our planet. |

| #1 nothing would have reduced the hysteria of the left and actually his inauguration speech was quite wonderful also but the left was not listening, they were only listening to their own echo chamber |
