"Madam Speaker, Mr. Vice President, Members of Congress, the First Lady of the United States, and my fellow Americans:"
"STILL HERE!!!"
Both Democrats and Republicans in Washington DC are playing politics. It is cynical and voters deserve better. No, it is not doomsday, but it is up to us to take a measure of these politicians and render our verdict on their behavior on election day.
“Tomorrow night, President Donald Trump is set to give his final State of the Union address”
“Final” stopped me from caring further.
Correction: Final State of the Union address for his first term. There’s going to be 4 more of these.....
“Tomorrow night, President Donald Trump is set to give his final State of the Union address...”
I quit reading right there.
Remarks regarding the demise of the Trump Administration are greatly exaggerated. Donald J. Trump will leave office on January 20, 2025, in the conventional manner - he shall be succeeded in office by the next elected President.
There is an old adage in politics - you can’t beat somebody with nobody. And a lot of nobodies relative to that force of nature, Donald Trump, have illusions about somehow overcoming fate and cold facts, and displacing him from office.
Not by electoral defeat, nor by chicanery and calumny, will President Trump be dislodged before his second term is finished.
May his health hold up and the Secret Service be ever alert.
I'll bet they have some real beauts on that editorial board.
Too many annoying ads never got to the article.
FOUR MORE YEARS OF MAKING AMERICA GREAT!
Sorry but that was a remarkably stupid statement on your part.
There is zero moral, or intellectual, equivalence between the Democrat Fascists aggressively trying to overturn the US Constitution and the GOP defending against their assault
Trying to posture as “above the fray” by blaming both sides is both intellectually imbecilic and morally cowardly.
I caught it too.
Final SOTU address... before the next four...
The speech goes on because Trump is president, he has done nothing wrong, and the democRats have shot their last bullet. It is over. He survived. They didn’t!
That dumb ass Pelosi will have to sit there while the single most important man on the planet goes about doing the nation’s business, something she has failed to do herself at any time over the last 13 months.
What if we had an impeachment and nobody cared or took it seriously? Folks we now have the answer to that and that is: Trump reelected in 2020 and KAG continues!
I wish she would share with the little people down here in the mud what, exactly, the President did that violated the Constitution. From my perspective, it looks like he has been faithfully executing his Constitutional duties, and doing a great job at it.
Maybe it's because none of us little people are smart enough to understand those matters the way her ultra intelligent high and mighty Nanciness does.
I liked Reagan (predicted with admiration - in 1967 - he was going to be Governor of California, and later President) but I think it was during his time that using audience guests as political props during the state of the union speech began (as far as I can remember).
Since then, under all Presidents the speeches have descended more into political speeches and less statesman like, in my opinion. I think it was after H.W. Bush’s first one that I quit watching except for getting a snippet that confirmed my opinion of the speeches and switching it off.
For me the speeches are not an “accomplishment” of any president. They - the POTUS - should write a statement to Congress and everyone get on with doing the business of actually getting things done.
To me they are another part of the circus all politics has become.
“As a reminder that the gamesmanship in Washington DC goes both ways — Democrats were not invited to the bill signing.”
This statement seems to result from superficial and shoddy analysis.
President Trump has a keen sense of accountability and justice. The dems held up USMCA for the sake of their childish antics. They didn’t deserve to be anywhere near the signing of the bill.
“Editorial” is afraid to give their name. Says much.
Annoying site, too. Obviously written built by numbskulls.
And, Ed Itorial, it’s Trumps 4th of 12 SOTUs.
"Madam Speaker, Mr. Vice President, Members of Congress, the First Lady of the United States, and my fellow Americans:"
"STILL HERE!!!"
Pelosi held up the bill for almost a year. USMCA passed with bipartisan support by a vote of 385 (Democratic 193, Republican 192)–41 (Democratic 38, Republican 2, Independent 1).
You can call it gamesmanship not to invite Pelosi, et.al., but I call it legitimate payback for holding up this legislation. Trump could have used the additional leverage in his China trade deal if the USMCA had been passed before. There is no moral equivalency between the Dems and Reps. The Democrats are the evil party while the GOP is the stupid party.
