A Break-Down Of Trump’s Presidential Speech To Congress
abc news

Tuesday, February 28, 2017, President Trump delivered his first presidential speech to Congress. During his speech, Congress was divided by the proposals Trump was declaring, half of the room filled with Congress would be standing and applauding rapidly, while the other half would sit their in despair pointing their thumbs down to the ground. Trump was very persistent about how he wanted democrats and republicans to stand united together. “If we are guided by the well being of American citizens, then I believe republicans and democrats can work together to achieve an outcome that has alluded our country for decades,” Trump states.

The President claims he wants all Americans to succeed, but if our society is out of order and in rapid chaos, then that cannot happen. He speaks to the fact that if we secure our borders, then the drugs will stop entering our country. Trump says he wants to provide assistance to those who are addicts to drugs, and help them retake their life and sobriety back. “We must restore integrity and the rule of law at our borders. By finally, enforcing our immigration laws, we will raise wages, help, the unemployed, save billions and billions of dollars, and make our communities safer for everyone,” states Trump.

The President proposed to Congress that he will be building a monstrous wall to keep out borders from now allowing any illegals and drugs into our borders. “We must restore integrity, and the rule of law at our borders. Our obligation is to serve, protect, and defend the citizens of the United States,” states Trump. When it comes to healthcare, he plans to get rid of Obamacare and replace it with a better more affordable healthcare plan. He is also not forcing any Americans to purchase healthcare, but to have the option off an affordable one if they wish to. He spoke upon the fact that in order to change the high poverty rates, which directly correlates with the increase rate of violence, especially the murders of citizens has increased extremely over the years; 2017 has a higher murder rate than the past years, Trump claims.

Dealing with victims of violence, Trump and Homeland Security have collaborated together to create an office entitled VOICE(Victims of Immigration Crime Engagement), this office is meant to be a place to support the victims of violent crimes. The name of this office basically is its purpose as well, it is giving the opportunity for victims to have a voice in a place where no one listened to them before, and ignored them completely.

So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.
