It's going to be a SHORT speech tonight:

[George II]

Mick Mulvaney just told Chuck Todd that trump is going to concentrate on the successes and accomplishments of the last year.

What say you, about 8-10 minutes?

[mikeysnot]

1. That is if he repeats his sentences over and over

again... he may make that far, with long dramatic pauses.

[Buns_of_Fire]

22. He'll also have to pause for the thunderous standing ovations from half the audience.

It'll be glorious. Grown men swooning, screaming, and throwing their panties on the podium. Just like a Tom Jones concert.

[Sophia4]

2. Less. You are exaggerating the successes and accomplishments of Trump.

Should take less than a few seconds.

[lark]

3. He can lie for a much longer period of time than that.

I think he'll do a 60 min. lie-athon and the real truth will not be heard. I will not be watching to verify this, however.

[kydo]

4. Considering how he repeats things three times adds words like many, best ever

He could probably milk 8 mins, if he stays to the teleprompter. If he goes off on his tangents and his minions cheer at every dumb thing, this could last a while.

[UltravioletDingo]

5. He will just take credit for the economy

I won't be watching because Trump speaking literally makes me want to puke. He will mostly take credit for the economy, even though that's BS. Taking credit for the economy will be 97% of the "speech."

[George II]

7. Correct. Too bad it's not a debate....

Someone could point out that the "economy" / the DJIA dropped 360 points today.

[Tommy_Carcetti]

6. "Members of the United States Congress, distinguished guests....."

"I really fucked shit up, didn't I?

Thank you and God Bless America!"

[fleur-de-lisa]

8. More like 8 to 10 seconds.

He stole an election and passed the most unpopular tax bill in history. End.

[HipChick]

9. Any stations doing live fact checking?

[smirkymonkey]

10. Hope he strokes out in the first 10 minutes.

I'm sorry, I just hate him soooooo much.

[Cha]

12. I hear ya, smirky.. see

my post below.

[beaglelover]

25. That would be fucking GREAT!!!! On Live TV too!!! LOL!!!!!

[bdamomma]

31. smirky

we think alike...I wonder how many cheeseburgers he had before his teleprompter bs talk. I am not watching either. Not worth watching treasonous bastards.

Oh I was listening to Randi Rhodes this afternoon a big announcement he will be making about North Korea.........

[smirkymonkey]

35. LOL bdamomma! I should feel guilty but this man is so evil, corrupt and hateful, I honestly

would rejoice at his passing. I can't watch him either. I just can't stand the sight of his ugly face or the sound of his voice. He thinks he is so great and he is so hated. He has no clue as to what a loser he is. I'll check in here to see if anything earth-shattering is said and if I manage to stay up late enough, I will listen to Joseph Kennedy.

Good to hear from you!

[Cha]

11. Tangerine Idi Amin is going to Lie

a Lot and point his little fingers at those who oppose this gd Russian dictatorship.

[smirkymonkey]

15. That's ALL he's going to do!

It's nauseating! I couldn't sit through it if I tried. Maybe Melania will drop a bomb on him tonight. It could happen

[Cha]

18. We'll find out about it later..

but I imagine the birther melania will sit there with a frozen smile basking in the heinous limelight.

Stormy Daniels will be on Jimmy Kimmel afterwards.. any port in the storm!

smirk

[Gothmog]

13. That is far more time that anyone in the real world would need

[Leghorn21]

14. Welp, if he throws in how he saved all those Carrier jobs and sold those F-52s to Norway, plus

how he made sure there were no major plane crashes this year, then maybe 15 min., tops

[House of Roberts]

37. I thought the F52s were sold to Normay.

[NCTraveler]

16. Could take hours.

He is riding Obama’s glorious accomplishments economically. He was dealt a great hand and will take credit for it. It’s going to be sickening.

[George II]

17. The Dow dropped 360 points today.

[Cha]

19. Wow.. I know nothing about that.. but

it sounds like a lot. Any particular reason, you think?

[NCTraveler]

23. Some health industry stocks took a nosedive.

That alone accounts for most. There is also a little adjustment going on and will probably continue. It will be interesting to see how it works out with the tax scam. It will most likely show a short term boom as it was directed toward the larger investor class.

United Health took the biggest dive. There are also concerns of inflation.

[Cha]

24. Thanks, NC.. I just signed up with

United Health Care at the 1st of the year.

They seem to be really on top of it.. I had excellent recommendations about them before I did.

[George II]

29. We're in our second year of UHC as a Medicare supplement plan. No complaints here...

....its reasonable (~$25 per month each) and covers quite a bit with low co-pays. We have three generic prescriptions (high blood pressure each and lipitor for me) that are only $2 per month each.

[Cha]

32. Good to hear, George! So why the

"biggest dive" for UnitedHealth, do you think?

[George II]

33. Don't know, maybe just a one day thing?

[Cha]

34. I hope it's nothing serious for them.

[George II]

36. Probably not - UHC is HUGE and they're one of the recommended plans by AARP.

[Cha]

38. They are remarkably on top of it.. and they

have more services and they really are "there for us".

Good to know about AARP, too.

[NCTraveler]

21. The DOW is absolutely killing it. Nt

[JustABozoOnThisBus]

20. It could take 8-10 minutes just for him to describe the hugeness, the magnificence,

and the standing-room-only size of the inaugural audience.

It goes downhill from there.

[George II]

30. You're right - it is the biggest crowd to witness a SOTU ever. Period!

[Skittles]

26. the man takes credit for EVERYTHING

he can go on ENDLESSLY

[NanceGreggs]

27. I once predicted ...

... that Trump's first SOTU speech would be:

"Good evening. As promised, I have now fixed everything. Good night."

[Kirk Lover]

28. Are you kidding me? This gas bag can go on forever and ever...especially when it's about his

favorite and really the only subject: himself. Wasn't his disgusting convention speech long? Or did it just feel that way.
