President Donald Trump's speech next week to a joint session of Congress will be decidedly more upbeat this his inaugural address, White House officials reportedly tell Axios.

The speech, written by adviser Stephen Miller and others, is being described by the website as "optimistic and uplifting."

"President Trump is determined to capture the sunny optimism of Reagan to temper the populist anger reflected in his core policies." Axios quotes one top adviser.

His speechwriters and delivery are far from inspiring, except to the adoring worshipers.  I hope he improves before then.

He will talk about himself, say big and good a lot, speak in generalities and he will attack his perceived enemies. Afterwards we will all wonder what he was talking about.

I hope he exposes the fact that Hillary got the questions before the debate.

To hell with that. My unnamed sources tell me that he has some bombshell information on Obama's birth certificate and he plans to drop it during the speech.

How about those Republicans in Congress forget about the outstretched arms and get some things done ?
