Presidential addresses are a more personal and credible way to address the public and urge them to unite in a cause. That gesture alone makes me more likely to listen to the President's point of view or plan. Show Less

One speech isn't going to change anyone's opinion on major topics, but they can influence what I think on some of the finer points.

My opinions are generally set in the political sphere, and a Presidential address is just a semantic stunt to make me perk up at a certain platform. That won't happen!

I do my homework. I know the truth before hand. If you make an abrupt change in your thinking from a speech you are likely a political lemming.

Funny thing about primetime lies is that they are still lies!

Kathy Deloach

No they tell the people what they want to hear and most of it is BS

Ka San

Not from this guy!

Marija Peče

This is so stupid and I would like to instead see attention given to the corruption involved in government spending due to priorities given from lobbyists at the expense of important social programs

Trump tries to be a dictator, not a president of our nation. I don't believe anything he says because he lies so much. It is a tragic and dangerous situation we are in with this president.

I agree with what others pointed out and that is, that until these ppl have somewhere else to go, let them be there.

Brittney Lent

Because there is not enough support or compassion for those whom have criminal records that can't get jobs because of and or even have there own name on a place of living or vehicle even if they were holding down a job and putting there lives back on track so why would I be agreed for closing

Julie Larocco

Don’t think there enough places for all of these people to go. Let them stay where they are with the services provided until there is a permanent safe stay place/solution.

The expenditure per person is outrageous..calculate per 190 residents! Also what is the stated method to audit the success of this large spending of our taxes?
