In our opinion, SOTU was a US Capitol-campaign rally and a sad spectacle minus the attacks on the media, the reference to toilets and the other assorted oddities.
Trump used his speech to exaggerate a Republican record. The GOP cheered at every opportunity, while the Democrats sat silently most of the time. There was no
mention of POTUS impeachment.
During the State of the Union, the nation shouldn't have to listen to adjectives, just the facts. Finally, after POTUS refused to shake The Speaker’s hand and the beginning of his long and factually incorrect speech, she returned the favor by ripping up her copy on camera. Later stating “Because it was a manifesto of mistruths.”
The state of disunion is greater than ever and many opportunities were missed on the eve of the end of Trump’s impeachment trial.
The one moment which brought the two parties together was when Venezuelan opposition leader Juan Guaidó’s appearance at the State of the Union.
Since he awarded a Rush-ed Medal of Freedom will Trump suddenly decide to give himself a Purple Heart?
Some have done very well during his presidency lobbyists, autocrats, the wealthy, and The Trump family who filled the swamp with cash.
