    This was always going to be a well crafted and well delivered speech hitting all the right points to instill some confidence back in the President (ie please just read this Donald). The real fun should be starting soon enough when he gets his phone back.

    Was it? I realise it should be, but history with the Donald didn't instill any confidence that it actually would be!

    Well, the fact that he has not yet tweeted is a sign that something is amiss.

    For whatever reason, I could barely watch 3 minutes of his speech... and that is coming from someone who listens to a lot of 50+ minutes youtube talks.

    PBS seemed to have given a short 7 minutes version and it helped a lot

    “Victims of Immigrant Crime Engagement: VoICE”

    - Why do victims of immigrant crime get a new department but victims of non-immigrant crime do not? Are victims of crimes by Americans less deserving?
    - Why is it not called VICE instead? Is it because all the agents would want to be transferred to Miami?

    So

    - Lower business taxes
    - Raise Spending (especially on infrastructure and military)
    - Points based immigration system
    - Something to reduce the power of Big Pharma - not sure what
    - Repeal Obama care and replace it with something great

    The US business tax is too high
    Military spending is too high now - why would he US want to spend more?
    Points based immigration just seems sensible
    Big Pharma - Good luck with that
    Obamacare - Needs improving i.e. mandatory limits on diseases covered - we would all like the latest cancer drug but is it the best use of money

    Things accomplished so far

    - Withdrawing from TPP. For the great negotiator this didn't seem like the best possible outcome for the USA
    - Lot's of drastratory noise about press reporting, blaa, blaa

    Whoa dude, you just invented a new word. Not a single Google result nor an alternative suggestion for that term.

    I think it is really a very very good word, the best. A lot of top word people have told me that. It is in the dictionary there is no doubt of that.
