WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump delivered a politically charged speech Wednesday carried live in prime time on network television, seeking to pin the blame for economic challenges on Democrats while announcing he is sending a $1,776 bonus check to U.S. troops for Christmas.
The remarks came as the nation is preparing to settle down to celebrate the holidays, yet Trump was focused more on divisions within the country than a sense of unity. His speech was a rehash of his recent messaging that has so far been unable to calm public anxiety about the cost of groceries, housing, utilities and other basic goods.
Worth noting that he simply diverted military housing assistance to fund this $1776 check. So he picked their pockets then gave them back the same money that was already meant for them.
Grifters gonna grift.
Traitorapist Trump effectively said this:
“Why aren’t people believing my lies anymore?? Obviously I need to be telling more lies since people aren’t believing my lies.”
Why would he lie?
