State of The Union 

Upon reading president Trump’s State of The Union speech one thing that stood out to upon many was that Trump addresses our economic growth that has taken place since he has been in office. “We have created 5.3 million new jobs, and importantly, added 600,000 new manufacturing jobs, something which almost everyone said was impossible to do, but the fact is, we are just getting started.” Another thing I found interesting was that he expressed his hopes to improve the U.S immigration system ‘-to create an immigration system that is safe, lawful, modern and secure, and to pursue a foreign policy that puts America’s interests first.” Contrary to what most say president Trump is not opposed to immigration at all. “I want people to come into our country in the largest numbers ever, but they have to come in legally.” and lastly, although Trump puts on a stubborn persona, he is willing to work together with his opposers to ensure our country’s safety. “So, let’s work together, compromise, and reach a deal that will truly make America safe.” I think this speech reveals president Trump’s more refined side and shows that he has good intentions in mind for our country and hopefully it will give American citizens assurance of his plans.
