America's new president gave an address to a joint session of Congress. The Los Angeles Times posted a full transcript of the speech (along with remarks from its staff that may require Javascript to view); Bloomberg uploaded a video of the event.
The New York Times called it "the most presidential speech Mr. Trump has ever given — delivered at precisely the moment he needed to project sobriety, seriousness of purpose and self-discipline."

"when you blindly follow some ideology"
And, what ideology is that?
"stated that the wall will be ineffective, and even if it does it may well hurt our agricultural sector"
When, and how did the first minimum wage law come to be? And, how did it come about that some very specific classes of workers were exempted from the minimum wage laws? Can you spell "graft" and "corruption"? There was no reason to make exempted classes of workers from the minimum wage laws, other than graft and corruption. At that point in history, farmers and ranchers had a lot of clout in Washington, and they held out for free or cheap farm labor. Food handlers and waiting staff were exempted from the same law, for very much the same reasons. If the cheap labor suddenly dries up, those farmers and ranchers may be hurt a little bit, short term, but the economy will heal over time.
Or - do you believe in our hidden class system, in which certain classes of workers can never "get ahead"?
Blah blah blah. Trump is a fascist, blah blah blah. When I see fascist, I'll let you know. Until then, you are the one who sounds like an ideologist.
