President Trump should give the address at the border, right in front of a rape tree, surrounded by CBP officers. He should explain to America what a rape tree is, which should be enough to shock and horrify average Americans (maybe not Democrats).

Giving the address from the border is not a bad idea. Trump can give the address to the nation. He doesn’t have to address Congress in person. Or he could give it to the Senate.

From Wikipedia...
“The address fulfills rules in Article II, Section 3 of the U.S. Constitution, requiring the President to periodically “give to the Congress Information of the State of the Union, and recommend to their Consideration such measures as he shall judge necessary and expedient.”[1] During most of the country’s first century, the President primarily only submitted a written report to Congress. After 1913, Woodrow Wilson, the 28th U.S. President, began the regular practice of delivering the address to Congress in person as a way to rally support for the President’s agenda.[1] With the advent of radio and television, the address is now broadcast live across the country on many networks.[4]”

You are correct. Most people, when I mention this horrifying, infuriating aspect of the border issue(s), are completely ignorant of it and physically recoil at the mention of it.
