I just published “President, Press and Propaganda — what’s really happening when Trump lies?” https://t.co/YZoR5gYsQl

Trump says 'radical Islamic terrorism' days after his new Nat'l Sec. Adviser said the phrase is counterproductive https://t.co/gRuii5g6aJ

Trump is the best ORATOR, the greatest orator ever IN history. HE emphasizes all the right WORDS. #JointAddress

[Polibrief @polibrief]

The time for trivial fights is over says Trump, who spent first week of his presidency fighting over inauguration crowd size. #Jointsession

[Polibrief @polibrief]

#Jointsession in a nutshell: Trump did a campaign rally in Paul Ryan's voice. Half the chamber was excited about it.

[Emma Vigeland @EmmaVigeland]

Trump calling the Yemen raid a success and exploiting Navy SEAL Ryan Owens' memory is frighteningly Orwellian #JointAddress

[Polibrief @polibrief]

Trump's best speech by far. That's not saying much - but most will see this as a sign that he's headed in the right direction. #Jointsession https://t.co/TFzvP2CPr4

[Kenneth P. Vogel @kenvogel]

If there is a Trump doctrine, this is it: "My job is not to represent the world. My job is to represent the United States of America."

[Rep. Barbara Lee (Archived) @RepBarbaraLee]

RT if you’re missing President Obama right now. #JointSession

[Polibrief @polibrief]

Thoughts and prayers are with the fact checkers who don't get overtime tonight, and their families. #Jointsession

[Polibrief @polibrief]

Trump wants Republicans and Democrats to unite behind him. Faces of the Democrats say it all: They're not having a bar of it. #Jointsession

[Polibrief @polibrief]

Trump's words would have a lot more merit if he made all of his own products in America #Jointsession

[Polibrief @polibrief]

Better than Putin, Bannon, DeVos or Carson. #DesignatedSurvivor #trumpaddress https://t.co/wTm83QYWYI

[ABC News @ABC]

Designated survivor for Pres. Trump's address to joint session of Congress is VA Sec. David Shulkin, senior administration official says.

How many standing ovations are just because he is sticking to the teleprompter? #trumpaddress

#Trump: I have a dream that the biased media will stop their unfair persecution of me because I am the greatest! #TrumpOnBlackHistory

Read Donald Trump's inspiring remarks about MLK Jr. this AM at an event about Black History Month

.@potus All you had to say was "let's pray for American families". Or nothing. Sometimes nothing is good too.

#Turnbull: Please take our refugees!
#Trump: That's a dumb deal
Turnbull: Great, it's a done deal!

#GroundhogDay reminds everyone that Punxsutawney Phil is now the most qualified climate scientist that the #Trump administration listens to.

[Polibrief @polibrief]

Remember when #Trump said there will be a "#Constitutionalcrisis" if Clinton won? Yeah neither does anyone else. #MuslimBan #executiveorders

#Trump's list of enemies after week 1: 1) Women 2) Media 3) Courts 4) 7 Countries and counting. Can't say he didn't hit the ground running.
