Peter Burgess COMMENTARY
I am looking forward to more analysis of the Trump presentation to Congress this past Tuesday. My impression is that it was long and blusterous, but rather light on verified facts.
Frankly ... I thought it was incredibly weak.
It appeared to be popular with the Republicans in the Chamber, which is no surprise ... but for anyone trying to do serious work and analysis, the presenttation was typical of Trump ... 'full of sound and fury, signifying nothing' if I remember my schoolboy Shakespeare correctly!

Donald Trump's address to Congress was littered with booing, laughter and protest from Democrats, while he stood before them and Republicans making bizarre claim after bizarre claim.
