President Trump gave his State of the Union speech last night, and I actually stayed awake for most of it. There weren't many surprises. Trump listed some of his accomplishments, and as usual, the Republicans applauded and cheered and the Democrats sat stone-faced for most of the speech. Nasty Nancy sat behind him rolling her eyes and looking like she had been sucking on a sour pickle! Instead of boring you with the details, I picked out the top 10 most memorable quotes from the speech:
ON THE BORDER WALL (2 QUOTES):
"In the past, most of the people in this room voted for a wall. But the proper wall never got built. I will get it built.”
“Simply put, walls work and walls save lives.”
ON BORDER SECURITY AS 'A MORAL ISSUE':
"This is a moral issue. The lawless state of our southern border is a threat to the safety, security and financial well-being of all Americans."
ON 'RIDICULOUS PARTISAN INVESTIGATIONS':
“If there is going to be peace and legislation, there cannot be war and investigation. It just doesn’t work that way. We must be united at home in order to defeat our adversaries abroad.”
ON TALKS WITH THE TALIBAN:
"The hour has come to at least try for peace. And the other side would like to do the same thing. It’s time."
ON THE ECONOMY:
“In just over two years since the election, we have launched an unprecedented economic boom — a boom that has rarely been seen before. There has been nothing like it.”
ON THE STATE OF THE UNION:
“Our military is the most powerful on Earth by far — and America is again winning, each and every day. Members of Congress, the State of our Union is strong.”
ON HEALTH CARE:
"The next major priority for me and for all of us should be to lower the cost of health care and prescription drugs — and to protect patients with pre-existing conditions.”
ON COUNTRY OVER PARTY:
"Victory is not winning for our party. Victory is winning for our country.”
ON SOCIALISM IN AMERICA:
"America will never be a socialist country."
