6:03 am
well it was a sort of presidential speech we have to say that the president was trying to send a message of unity and i think it was a very good move to start this speech by talking about the american people by praising them as people who are up to any challenge and the president also said that his loyalty to longs to the american people that they are the reason why he is calling on democrats and republicans to come to cover to work together because all of them the lawmakers have been elected to serve the american people but then when we look. at that poll this is a president trump was talking about we have to say that he did not offer and the concession and the compromise that could lead by purchasing that is lation

6:05 am
that america's economy is growing i recently a bit less than expected however but the wages are rising and the stock market has been hitting new highs how worried are we have to say that the question is were over the president can say that it's only his accomplishment that he is to take all credit all the credit for that because this development has started during the obama administration. and the other big pillar that president trump wanted to build this speech on was migration let's take a listen to what he said about reforming migration and immigration policy. my duty and the sacred duty of every elected official in this chamber is to defend

americans to protect their safety their families their communities and their right to the american dream because americans are dreamers too. there's been a lot of talk about that last phrase there americans are dreamers to what do you think the president was trying to do with that he was in speaking to. i think that he was speaking to his core supporters to he's base they wanted to make clear that he has not forgotten that forgotten women and men of america that he's loyalty as i said belongs to the american people and he repeated his very tough stance on the immigration saying that is ready and willing to extend the protection for dreamers
