After spending the first portion of his speech patting himself on the back for what he views as his administrations accomplishments, including low unemployment, Mr. Trump issued a stern warning to the Democrats now in charge of the House.
An economic miracle is taking place in the United States and the only thing that can stop it are foolish wars, politics or ridiculous partisan investigations, he said. If there is going to be peace and legislation, there cannot be war and investigation. It just doesnt work that way!
Speaker Nancy Pelosi smirked behind him. Representative Adam Schiff of California, chairman of the House Intelligence Committee, smiled. He has already begin examining whether money laundering could have motivated Mr. Trumps coziness with Russian oligarchs.

(9,670 posts)8. That's what all of this has been about from day one
I'm a criminal, I'm guilty, I'm going to threaten and belittle and hurt you if you try to come near me. Every single utterance has been underscored by this vibe. Remember birthers. Remember emails. Remember to leave your hairpiece on the table before we frogmarch you to your cell.
