By Angeli Kakade, Buzz60
President Trump addressed congress for the first time on Tuesday night and for someone who based his presidential campaign on being the anti-politician, he sure sounded a lot like a politician.
See more on the speech:
But not everyone bought his statesman like speech such as Stephen Colbert who prepared for Trump's address, tweeting: Getting ready to watch Trump's address to a JOINT session of congress. There's a clue in this tweet about how we're going to get through it.

George Takei mentioned Ryan Reynolds, tweeting: Pay attention: "Access to healthcare" is not healthcare. I have "access" to Ryan Reynolds. But he's not covering me.

Trump, not known for his details, caused SNL Trump Alec Baldwin to quote part of his speech: "...the courage to share the dreams that fill our hearts."
Conservative personality Glenn Beck may disagree with the essence of Trump's speech but he tweeted it was well done and connected with his base.
Not a fan of nationalism, progressivism, populism or Bannon (essence of this speech),BUT: well done and connected w/base.#jointsession#sotu

House of Cards co-creator Beau Willimon isn't buying that either, tweeting: He doesn't get a gold star for platitudes that bear no resemblance to his policy. Media: compare the #JointAddress to the track record.
