I can't quite figure out what he has to be smug about.

And this is the party of fiscal responsibility? Even his proud achievement of keeping fewer lower income people insured ends up costing more in the long run, of course. There's no logic to it......

[@jonjonvids]

Wendy S They told us that the world was going to end. They told us nuclear holocaust was going to consune the world and destroy everything. They told us that american government as we know it would be permanently changed and the county that we loved would be permanently destroyed. Well as it turns out only one of those is partially true. The american government as we knew it before 2017 has completely changed but its been changed for the better. All the things i mentioned above were leftist mantras before the election and before the inauguration of president trump. Despite their fear mongering and doomsday prognostication things are actually going pretty well in the u.s after his first year. There is only two thing that trump can do to lose my support. One give amnesty to illegals aliens. Two get us involved in another pointless war. So allow me to give you an analysis of trumps presidency. I will identify the strengths and weaknesses, and the areas he failed. Trump has done a lot of great things but he isn't perfect. So with that said lets break his presidency down into six categories. administration, economics, domestic policy, foreign policy, immgration, and meta poltics. Trump has done an adiqute job of managing his administration. After a few rough initial months. The administrative staff seems to generally be doing a good job John Kelly appears to have cracked down on the leaks coming out of the white house and is enforcing a tough code of conduct. Also he is preventing ivanka and jared from having influence on the white house. Unfortunately I'm not such a fan of Sarah Huckabee Sanders as press secretary as i listen to her she doesn't strike me as overwhelming competent and comfortable adressing the issues. Also she doesn't have the ability like Steve miller to manipulate and humiliate reporters. However she hasn't made to many mistakes so i can't be that hard on her. As for the rest of trumps cabinet things are generally going well. The person i do have a few problems with is jeff sessions. He began the year by recussing from the russia investigation which was a key mistake. considering how it allowed rob roseinstein to appoint rob muller. The doj also declined to prosecute Lois Lerner the former head of the irs for her unlawful targeting at the irs during the obama administration. Which was a big mistake as well as the failure to hashtag lock her up goes without saying. I'm not a fan of Christian Nilsson at the dhs she has a tendency to constantly voice her opinion on immgration policy which isn't her job. A bit more deportation and a little less political commentary please. Overall i give trump a 3/5 on appointment and overall management. I'll admit i was not the world biggest fan of the gop tax plan. I think the corporate tax cuts should have been combined with tariffs and incentives for company's to move their factorys back to the u.s. The gop tax bill actually incentives companies to sell to foreign markets instead of america. While simultaneously lower their tax burden. It seems like a better deal could have been reached here. Aside from that the gop tax bill was generally quiet good as a healthy person i don't need health insurance. The repeal of the government mandate was a big win for me and millions of americans. I like the individual tax cuts obviously and i like the tax credits for having children. Increasing birth rates will be essential for the american future and making it easier for middle class familys is a good move. Many people are crediting trump with the success of the stock market i am generally weary of this strategy since their are millions of factors impacting stock prices. You don't want your administration to be held politically acountable if it were to crash. It is undeniable however that the stock market is going up as is consumer and business confidence. The Trump administration is making it more difficult for foreign workers to come here and take jobs that could be filled by anericans this obviously is a good thing. Here i would give Trump a 4.5/5 2017 started off with the death of the trans Pacific Partnership and this year i would like to see more focus on tariffs to bring manufacturing jobs back to america. Next is domestic policy, the trump administration has not pursed many domestic policy objectives. One of the major attempts to change domestic policy was the attempted repeal of Obamacare. However as we all know that didn't work out so well, but Obama was effectively repealed later with the removal of the individual mandate. Trump and his administration simply haven't made alot of changes here, one area of domestic policy where trump really did impress me was his reaction to the Charlottesville rally. Instead of doing what every other weasel politician did and condemning thise who went to Charlottesville trump did the honorable thing and stood firm. He told the truth, there were good and bad people on both sides. And that the violence was brought primarily by the left. I do disagree "suposed" war on weed but ultimately there is no war on weed. I doubt his choice to allow federal prosecutor investigate individuals for pot will actually result in more productions. Prosecutors know they have better things to do than go after marijuana users. I have to give Trump a hood grade here in 2018 i would like to see him domestic policy such as national conceal and carry reciprocity and something similar to paul nelans anti-censorship legislation for social media companies. I give trump a 4/5 Now for foreign policy, this one started kind rough. The missile strikes in syria were a really bad move. Thankfully however they did not lead to a prolonged engagement. Trumps signalling support for the iran protests was shortsided and indicates that he hasn't learned a lesson from America's past backed revlotions. Thankfully no action was taken. Also the u.n appointment Nikki Haileys making threats to other nations over support of Israel was horrible. It would be nice to have a u.n ambassador that acted in our interests first. The war against isis is nearly over and the middle east is stabilizing. We're getting along great with key asian partners. However i do wish we were doing more to build up our relationship with russia. There is no reason to continue this advisory political theater. In 2018 i hope trump invites Putin To the white house for a visit. I can't give a prefect grade here for reasons previously mentioned but its still a 4/5 Immigration for me it is the most important issue. Understand that the way we as americans discuss immigration is in the middle of a massive paradigm shift. Americans never got to decide wether or not we wanted to change from a European American country to a multicultural mess of a country. fortunately people are now questioning this. President trump has been making a lot of good pro american changes on immigration policy. Obviously DACA is currently the topic of contention. With democrats going as far to shut down the government over protections for illegal alliens and future Democrat voters. The jury is still out on wether DACA will be put into law by trump i doubt it will but politicians are capable of going back on their promises. As previously mention h1v visas are getting harder to get. This is great news american tech workers deserve to be the ones getting these jobs not foreign workers. Plus a shortage of labor will help raise wages in this feild. The trump administration is also working on removing people who were only suposed to be here temporarily. Including Haitian then Salvador migrants in addition the 2020 census will only count americans and not illegal alluens which will drastically remove the power of illegal magnet states such as California and Illinois. Its a little hard for me to give a definitive grade gere since we are in the middle of this massive immigration debate. I like the direction the talks are going in and i like trumps refusal to not include the wall. Based on what we've seen so far and how he has changed the debate on immigration like no Republican ever would i have to give him another 4.5/5 now. Let me make it clear if he flips on DACA or the border wall if goes from a 4.5 to a zero. Immigration is a issue that shapes all of our other issues. No country will stay the same when mass immigration is forced on it. Now for meta poltics and the state of the American poltical discussion. Trump hasn't been prefect on any administrative issue he has been nearly perfect on the way he has shaped the american poltical landscape. In the first year of the trump presidency we have seen a complete democratization, lose of identity, and fracturing of the american left. Now that they are out of power their various idenity groups are fighting each other. We've also seen a complete demolition of the Overton window. It was unthinkable that the republicans would take a hard line and want to cut back on legal immigration. Now its basically part of the party platform. The republican party that has been out of touch with its voting base for the last 2 decades now realises what it has to do to stay relevant. They have to listen to their constituents rather than their donors. G.W.B neo-conservatism is dead largely thanks to trump. No President is perfect and i have had issues with trump this year but he's doing as good of a job as you can expect. Considering he has had to battle almost single handedly against a system dominated by rootles tran-national globalist ellites and their cronies. I give trumps first year a solid 4.25/5 he's playing the long game in hopefully three or seven years that number will go up.

It is then lovingly crushed into pure, clean coal dust and burnt to release 100% pollution free energy.

"a vast wilderness", just fucking wow. Did his history teacher show him early John Wayne movies as factual evidence?

[@tonyaioli5908]

Yes what a horrible thing to say! Because everyone knows that America DID NOT have very large stretches of wild nature.

[@TF_Tony]

Fellow Tony. Using colonial terminoloy to describe the very much inhabited land of what the West called America with implications of complete emptiness is the ideology that legitimized genocide. It erases any past history and culture of a place to make your own culture the only agent of change, justifying the manifest destiny that you deserve to take that land, since those human-like animals that live there belong to nature, not culture. That's what it means to call someone's homeland "vast wilderness".

[@tonyaioli5908]

TFTTony. He did not say or imply any of that. You made all that up yourself. It is a very poor way of arguing. But I assume it served you well on your "Colonial Studies"-course.

[@TF_Tony]

Tony Aioli, If you think that's a bad way of arguing, you must think the best way of arguing is: Trump said he is the least racist person you've ever met, so that means he is the least racist person I have ever met! Thank you for providing me with the truth, Dear Leader! You should read up on hermeneutics of suspicion. But you already dismissed the entire apparatus of academia in your last post, so I guess you don't care about that. Good luck with your life, seriously. I just don't even know what to say anymore, if you don't see how racist this expression is. It's like the government building a highway through your town and tearing down everything, killing all citizens there, and a few years after they say: "We found ourselves in a vast wilderness there, and held the torch of freedom up high!"

[@tonyaioli5908]

TFTony, Putting your words in someones elses mouth is not a good way of conducting an argument. For example, saying the word "wilderness" does not mean support for genocide. Thats a dishonest interpretation and as Love Muffin pointed out, it makes you look stupid, at best. So to prove my point even further you go on assuming and ascribing to me different things which I have not said, like that I " dismissed the entire apparatus of academia". So I guess projection is your thing.

That felt like the longest State of the Uniom ever.. He couldn't have talked any slower

It's 2018, coal is not a viable energy source. To the 50,000 people that work in coal.. FIND WORK ELSEWHERE! Sorry people, but things change. You either embrace it or you get left in the dust. This is coming from a former newspaperman. I've changed my career because of technology. It sucks because I loved that career, but you do what you gotta do to survive.

I lost it on the clean coal. 6:57 😅😂😂

[@gentle.unicorn]

remember the days when all of his monologues were posted as a single video god bless

[@shadowcat1606]

Don't get your hopes up. The monologue is normally cut into parts taht stand on their own, thematically. This monologue featured really only one topic, the speech, so i guess that's why it's just one long vid.

[@Max-pg5oz]

I haven’t seen Americans this divided as they are now !!! I love American people ( HATE politicians ) and I found them very generous,emotional and caring people.I wish them all the best !!!

[@LuizAlexPhoenix]

Mate, your name is Amir. While, to be fair, mine is Luiz... Somewhere, in Trumpland, these are unholy words. They must assume I am Mexican and you are Syrian.

[@davestephens8033]

If you want to know the real truth of it, go look at the number of likes on this video vs. the number of dislikes. The likes are decent American people who are seeing their country under attack from a nearly Nazi political party who gets worse day by day, the dislikes are Trump's base, they are seriously outnumbered by rational thinking people.

[@benjaminsaturday8300]

Dave Stephens I liked it and disagreed with everything said. Can't help it colbert is hillarious

[@melrose37]

The American people are being exploited by the wealthy and powerful, but a large number of them are stuck in their situation with no way out. It's really horrible

[@shananigans08ify]

Thank you Stephen. It's good to know there ARE Americans that aren't heartless, crude and vile like trump supporters.

You know he filmed himself late at night writing his Trump Manifesto in crayon, but his producers said we need to clean this up a bit before we let people see it

[@yammyamm8480]

[@rogerdodger8415]

Mr. Bones Yes I do remember.. It was called the Democrat party. We see the same devastating effects in Illinois, Mississippi, and Detroit. How winds came into the region and destroyed everything. All the jobs were gone, and workers had to leave for somewhere else.

[@rogerdodger8415]

Gena Wall That's EXACTLY what they wanted was a handout. Puerto Rico was in bankruptcy. Nobody was paying taxes, businesses were closing up. The REAL destruction was caused by Hurricane Oba-mao.

Today, Trump and the GOP introduce to you "clean coal", the top energy resource after unicorn tears, pegasus manure and Atlas' reverse gravity powers.

El Grande How's the weather over in Russia, buddy? I mean, take that whatever way you want, but I'm pretty sure any person that thinks that recapturing *some* carbon from the toxic cloud of CO and CO2 makes coal clean probably has trouble passing a CAPTCHA.

[@ameyagokhale5123]

El Grande You rightist Crap weasel... You can't have Clean and Coal in the Same phrase. Coal is the Filthiest form of fuel and no matter how much you Tinker with it, you can't burn it without releasing harmful Gases. Reduce it., Maybe. But you can't call it clean.

"Clean" coal. Like "safe" toxic spills or a "stable genius" orange president.

[@davewade2041]

Daniel Muñoz My family's farm was demolished because COAL was found underneath our apple orchard. Coal company left chunks of coal ALL OVER the ground after leaving! We burned it in our coal-burning furnace the winter before we left it all behind us. There is NO SUCH THING as "clean coal". tRump LIES.

[@garysinnott340]

Daniel Muñoz - and you can also polish a turd but it doesn't make it any more palatable. Coal kick-started the industrial revolution but it's long past time to move on. Renewables are still in their teen years but have made amazing strides; other, safer forms of nuclear power need urgent R&D and implementation. We need to change our energy production methods or we, as a race, might not be around in a form we recognise for too much longer.

[@DeusShaggy]

"We have ended the war on beautiful clean coal... and begun our war on our beautiful clean environment and the TRUTH!"

[@riversonthemoon]

"So tonight I call on congress to empower every cabinet secretary with the authority to reward good workers and to remove federal employees who undermine the public trust or who fail the American people." That is the scariest line of the whole speech. Giving Trump the power to remove any dissenting voices from every government agency would be a step towards tyranny. It would be long term damage that would outlast his presidency. His successor, Democrat or Republican would not likely give up that power.

[@sneedsfeedandseed420]

Because you shouldn't punish people who take up jobs as public servants, but fail to serve the people?

[@sneedsfeedandseed420]

Also, there's literally nothing wrong with an authoritarian, central government.

[@LupineShadowOmega]

Well he does love him some tyranny, doesn't he...

[@riversonthemoon]

"Because you shouldn't punish people who take up jobs as public servants, but fail to serve the people?" Don't be simple. That power shouldn't reside with partisan cabinet secretaries who the president has control over. Civil servant protections are a strength of the American system and they were introduced to prevent new administrations from replacing career staff with their political cronies. "Also, there's literally nothing wrong with an authoritarian, central government." Depending upon what you mean by that, I believe you and I may have very different values.

[@sneedsfeedandseed420]

Why should we defend career politicians? They do us no good. Their failure to serve the people is only compounded by their greed. They don't serve the people, they serve their lobbyists and their bank accounts. Why shouldn't they be punished?
