Everyone out there who said that Trump started out slowly, didn’t understand that Trump knows a thing or two about pacing. He was building up to this part of the speech. If you’ve watched his rallies, you’ve seen this type of rhythm for the last decade.

Trump hails himself for making border secure and 'roaring economy'
"And we will never go back to where we were just a very short time ago. We’re not going back. Today, our border is secure," he claimed as he touted, "The roaring economy is roaring like never before, and our enemies are scared. Our military and police are stacked."
He also slammed Democrats during the address while demanding'full and immediate restoration' of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) fund.
“As we speak, Democrats in this chamber have cut off all funding for the Department of Homeland Security. They have instituted another Democrat shutdown, the first one costing us 2 points on GDP,” the 79-year-old alleged.
Trump then added, “Tonight, I am demanding the full and immediate restoration of all funding for the border security and homeland security of the United States, and also for helping people clean up their snow.”
