Summary


* Last night, following tradition, President Trump delivered his first State of the Union Address
* Although people are saying that it's not technically a true State of the Union Address
* We'll have to wait another year for that; that he has been President for too short a period
* So it's just an address before the Joint Session of Congress
* But whatever you call it, apparently the president's address was well received
* Even some of the President's critics are giving him credit, although not all of his critics are being so kind to the President
* On the other hand, I was not impressed at all by what President Trump said
* If his main goal was not to offend anybody
* To get a positive reaction from the political classes, the media and Wall Street
* Then I guess he gave a great address
* But if you were looking for the President to actually indicate that true change is coming
* That America might actually be great again
* That President Trump might actually be a different type of President than his predecessors
* You got no indication that that was going to be the case
* In fact, Trump gave me every indication that his administration would be more of the same
* Donald Trump wants to make America great again
