Mark Angelides: Trump’s Pitch for the American Future

President Donald Trump, on March 4, addressed a joint session of Congress, his fifth such speech, in which he made the case for this being the most successful start to any presidency in history. It was a mix of touting achievements and setting a firm direction for the future. In flights of rhetoric reminiscent of his 2018 State of the Union, Mr. Trump offered a platter of laughs, reflections, and policy plans that the American public will see played out over the next three years.
