Not sure why Trump is bothering to address Congress. His theory of governance is he can do what he wants and does not need Congress’ approval or consent.

He needs an audience. And if the people bowing their heads and cooing are supposed to be powerful it makes him feel like he’s the man his father knew he never would be.
He's continuing his brain washing of the Republicans and MAGAs. If they feel buoyed, it will help dispell any pangs of doubt they may be having. It makes it harder for those who might want to break away from the group to do so.
This has nothing to do with addressing Congress. This is so Trump can’t boast about how he is making America great again, even if it is a deluded version of reality.
Absolutely. He may refuse to go there again and just invite whom he needs to communicate with in Mar A Lago. Quite frankly Democrats should walk and protest after the garbage I have just watched
And Congress – including almost all GOP members and too damned many Dem members – aren't insisting on their constitutional roles being respected. Seems like an empty ritual at this point. But thank the gods of democracy for @algreen.house.gov!
I agree with the replies about his narcissism & loving the applause & whatnot. I also think he knows a huge public backlash can hurt him more than Congress at this point & this was another opportunity to divide/confuse/overwhelm/neuter public opinion.
It's not congress he's addressing, and it's not the capitol he's speaking in. It's a theater now, or a circus perhaps, where he's the star attraction. They're spectators who have no role but to look at him in adoration (or get booted).
Won't our senators and reps be surprised when he does make that decision to dissolve the House and Senate because he is the only one who makes decisions.
Last night Trump implied that he was shot, but didn't explicitly say it. He said he was saved by god to m.a.g.a. He shut down the FBI investigation that would find, that he was not shot and it was a mass shooting event. He's being careful as the con will be exposed. https://youtu.be/4TOtnYboqxQ
All he is doing is repeating so many lies - and all he wants is to privatize the government while paying the contractors with tax dollars at higher pricing and provide the tax payers with less benefits, oh yes and lining his pockets!
