WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump delivered a politically charged speech Wednesday carried live in prime time on network television, seeking to pin the blame for economic challenges on Democrats while announcing he is sending a $1,776 bonus check to U.S. troops for Christmas.
The remarks came as the nation is preparing to settle down to celebrate the holidays, yet Trump was focused more on divisions within the country than a sense of unity. His speech was a rehash of his recent messaging that has so far been unable to calm public anxiety about the cost of groceries, housing, utilities and other basic goods.
Yup, shows how disconnected he is. It’s also indicative of how out of touch our Federal Government is, all staffed by millionaires and multi-millionaires, who probably haven’t had to shop for themselves or look at their own bills in years. Most of what they’re consuming day-to-day is undoubtedly budgeted by their office.
