Excerpts: Trump's address to Congress
By POLITICO Staff
02/28/17 08:47 PM EST
Excerpts from President Donald Trump's Tuesday remarks to Congress as prepared for delivery .
Each American generation passes the torch of truth, liberty and justice – in an unbroken chain all the way down to the present.
And we’ve spent trillions of dollars overseas, while our infrastructure at home has so badly crumbled.
We have begun to drain the swamp of government corruption by imposing a 5-year ban on lobbying by Executive Branch Officials – and a lifetime ban on becoming lobbyists for a foreign government.
By finally enforcing our immigration laws, we will raise wages, help the unemployed, save billions of dollars, and make our communities safer for everyone.
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 beliefs.
We will work with our allies, including our friends and allies in the Muslim World, to extinguish this vile enemy from our planet.
But to accomplish our goals at home and abroad, we must restart the engine of the American economy – making it easier for companies to do business in the United States, and much harder for companies to leave.
My economic team is developing historic tax reform that will reduce the tax rate on our companies so they can compete and thrive anywhere and with anyone.
At the same time, we will provide massive tax relief for the middle class.
Tonight, I am also calling on this Congress to repeal and replace Obamacare, with reforms that expand choice, increase access, lower costs, and at the same time, provide better Healthcare.
Mandating every American to buy government-approved health insurance was never the right solution for America.
The way to make health insurance available to everyone is to lower the cost of health insurance, and that is what we will do.
Obamacare is collapsing – and we must act decisively to protect all Americans. Action is not a choice – it is a necessity.
So I am calling on all Democrats and Republicans in Congress to work with us to save Americans from this imploding Obamacare disaster.
My administration wants to work with members in both parties to make childcare accessible and affordable, to help ensure new parents have paid family leave, to invest inwomen’s health, and to promote clean air and clear water, and to rebuild our military and our infrastructure.
True love for our people requires us to find common ground, to advance the common good, and to cooperate on behalf of every American child who deserves a brighter future.
Today is Rare Disease Day, and joining us in the gallery is a Rare Disease Survivor, Megan Crowley. Megan was diagnosed with Pompe Disease, a rare and serious illness when she was 15 months old. She was not expected to live past 5.
On receiving this news, Megan’s dad, John, fought with everything he had to save the life of his precious child. He founded a company to look for a cure, and helped develop the drug that saved Megan’s life. Today she is 20 years old—and a sophomore at Notre Dame. Megan’s story is about the unbounded power of a father’s love for a daughter.
Finally, to keep America sSafe we must provide the men and women of the United States Military with the tools they need to prevent war and – if they must – TO FIGHT AND TO WIN.
I am sending Congress a budget that rebuilds the military, eliminates the defense sequester, and calls for one of the largest increases in national defense spending in American history.
My budget will also increase funding for our veterans. Our Veterans have delivered for this nation – and now we must deliver for them.
The challenges we face as a nation are great.
But our people are even greater.
And none are greater or braver than those who fight for America in uniform.
But we know that America is better off, when there is less conflict -- not more.
We must learn from the mistakes of the past – we have seen the war and destruction that have raged across our world.
The only long-term solution for these humanitarian disasters is to create the conditions where displaced persons can safely return home and begin the long process of rebuilding.
America is willing to find new friends, and to forge new partnerships, where shared interests align.
Think of the marvels we can achieve if we simply set free the dreams of our people.
Cures to illnesses that have always plagued us are not too much to hope.
American footprints on distant worlds are not too big a dream.
Millions lifted from welfare to work is not too much to expect.
And streets where mothers are safe from fear—schools where children learn in peace—and jobs where Americans prosper and grow—are not too much to ask.
When we have all of this, we will have made America greater than ever before.
The time for small thinking is over.
The time for trivial fights is behind us.
We just need the courage to share the dreams that fill our hearts.
The bravery to express the hopes that stir our souls.
And the confidence to turn those hopes and dreams to action.
From now on, America will be empowered by our aspirations – not burdened by our fears.

So tonight, I propose a “Fix-It-First” program to put people to work as soon as possible on our most urgent repairs, like the nearly 70,000 structurally deficient bridges across the country. (Applause.) And to make sure taxpayers don’t shoulder the whole burden, I’m also proposing a Partnership to Rebuild America that attracts private capital to upgrade what our businesses need most: modern ports to move our goods, modern pipelines to withstand a storm, modern schools worthy of our children. (Applause.) Let’s prove that there’s no better place to do business than here in the United States of America, and let’s start right away. We can get this done.

What didn't he do?
1) brag about his election victory
2) lie about an "electoral landslide"
3) make up numbers of supposed fraud in an election THAT HE WON!
See? It is possible.
I would have put money on him jumping into all of that. I'm very pleased with this speech.

For someone who hasn't been giving speeches for 30 years he did pretty well. I think the Rats are going to continue to lose seats if the Pubs follow through and get the job done.

Yeah definitely. I think there are more than one Democrats panicking tonight. They thought they could just sit back and wait for Trump to explode.
There's two trumps now: the steven bannon influenced Trump and the Ivanka influenced Trump. The latter is what we saw tonight. Which Trump Trump chooses to be is up to him, and whether his Presidency is a success or failure is his decision.
I hope and pray he makes the right decision for the good of the nation.

The right decision is to adopt neither's positions. Take the sane parts from them and come to his own conclusions. Bannon is mostly fruit loops and his daughter is a die-hard feel good lib. They both occasionally find an acorn and thats what he should take under consideration... but so does everyone else.

I don't think so really. I think it's more that people are realizing the truth of what some of us have said for years. They really do hate America. They really do want to rule as overlords. They really are genuinely evil.
A lot of people spent decades trying to make excuses because their friend/family/whatever was a Lib dem and to accept the truth would mean they had to admit that yes, their friend/family/whatever was all those things too. Just look at the reaction after the Dems booed God at their convention. The exact reaction was what? Well my X isn't like that.
But their X never left the party and their X kept right on supporting the Dems in both the voting booth and the court of public opinion. People will find excuses for anything rather than accept truth. But it gets harder and harder when they lose popular support for 'their team' to keep lying to themselves.

They at least would pretend to be rational during these high profile events. That is totally out the window now. I watched them sitting there and thought that it looked as though they were being held hostage, and then it occurred to me. They were. George Soros owns the handful of Rats there and they are doing what he wants. Problem is that he has guided that party to ruin and he continues to do so.

Oh I agree they don't pretend anymore. Absolutely. But that's ultimately my point. They were pretending all along. And thus they were evil all along.
Their followers may have wanted a lesser form of evil, but they wanted THEIR personally acceptable brand of evil, regardless. they never wanted the idea of America and what it represents. They wanted their version of Utopia with themselves in the ruling elite.

@Weird Tolkienish Figure
It will likely be tomorrow, or even later tonight. When he does well, he immediately attacks someone/organization/country. He hurts himself every single time. I had not realized that until it was pointed out to me. It is a compulsion, he must do it.
Democrats were childish to sit and pout - screwed up facial expressions from all of them. And, as soon as he quit speaking, they rushed to the door.

@Mom MD
I have to agree. By wearing all white, they singled themselves out. If a woman was wearing white, you knew that she was not willing to accept anything Trump said, no matter how reasonable, so it was easy to dismiss their frowny-face reactions. They might as well have worn hoodies and Vendetta masks.
If they were dressed normally, then the camera could have shown them and they might have looked like "just part of the crowd" not reacting well to something Trump said.
I hope America saw it for what it was: not principled resistance, but whiny crybaby sit-on-my-hands and sulk resistance.
