Tonight is a big night for the President. If he can read without ad libbing he should be ok, however something I have been harping on is going to rear its ugly head.

"Trump's first major national security address will also begin to show whether the credibility that the President has squandered, with his provocative rhetoric and frequent resort to falsehoods, will hamper his capacity to lead."

Trump Afghanistan speech: President to ask US for trust - CNNPolitics

The Kelly move IN and the Bannon and Gorka move OUT seems to have some effect.

Truth is the only way, Mr President. I think since he is not going this without much planning and prep from the NSC, he will be fine.
They seem to stick with the truth, and sending more troops, which is the word on this talk, requires honesty.

The only way Trump sticks to the truth is if he reads something someone else wrote for him. If he takes questions or speaks extemporaneously, he steps off the edge into water way over his head.

One small correction.

When he does that, he's not really ..."into water way over his head."

Given that he has lied all of his life and gotten away with it...that's more like being "right in his wheelhouse."

I don't think there is any doubt that the NSC wrote the speech, and whatever strategy is in there comes from some great military minds.

Trump mocked anyone who even mentioned Afghanistan during the campaign but that's over.

I hope he finds the magic bullet for over there.

My biggest point is, he has lied so blatantly from the Oval Office and even handed secrets to the Russians in that meeting with the Russians who had been banned...the one where ONLY Russian state tv could cover......but point is, with his lies and on very substantial issues how could he be trusted.

I will, for our country, give him the benefit, but I was also noting, with his total ignorance on this subject, he better stick to what they wrote for him.

What I also noticed on this forum is that you are the only comment to what I said. Everyone is so tied up with their hate and defense of this guy, the real issues confronting us never get discussed.

Actually, I feel pretty confident he will READ WHAT HAS BEEN WRITEN.

Word I have, but have not confirmed....he is on notice....listen to Kelly or much of your staff goes. They have a fear of him being and acting alone.

Look for that in the next few days (or not).....I don't feel bad sharing without a link because I have suggested, and others, the same principle. I just got it from a pretty reliable source.

But I think he will be touted tomorrow, as his loyal minions will feel he is justified.....lying is forgotten.

Notice how quiet....no accusations being lobbed, etc ?

Your correct, once you win you should stop buying. Wink, wink, wink...

It matters not what Trump says...you will still whine non stop.

Instead of preparing for the next election, liberals are still attempting to disqualify or nullify the past election. I wonder if there are any sensible Democrats left that might understand their plight and start working on a viable agenda, other than the idea of getting rid of the rightful, legitimate and properly elected president that currently occupies the position. Of course, many of the current Republican (RINOs rather) are worried more about what the left is thinking than doing their jobs, and will likely find their jobs in jeopardy. These same RINOs will blame the president for their own doomed careers.

If Trump has nothing to fear then just let the investigation work itself out. Then if nothing comes out of this he has the ultimate "I told you so" coming to him. In my eyes Donald Trump won the election over Hillary Clinton. And he is the POTUS. This investigation is because of a foreign government's possible influence in the election. If Trump is not worried one bit then just settle down and wait for the outcome. What bothers him the most is Mueller has the power to look everywhere he wants. This is what Trump is scared about the most.

As usual the Democrats will once again go searching for their magic candidate. That person will wind up being Kamala Harris the junior senator from California.
She will become the 46th President of the United States and also the first woman to do so. Hillary will continue her wine walks in the woods.

This prediction can be placed right below the ones attesting and pontificating the sure win and inevitable election of Clinton. Predicted, repeated, hammered, day in and day out right up to election day.
And we all know how those predictions, polls, odds makers turned out!!
