Trump’s State of the Union speech is going to be wild

In advance of President Trump’s first State of the Union speech, random busybodies are urging him to tone it down. One adviser from the bleachers suggests he be “humble and inclusive.”

Sweet, but I’m betting humble pie is not on the president’s menu. On the contrary, Tuesday night in the Capitol is likely to be a shock-and-awe blowout of pure Trumpism.

The idea that Trump must go mild has been a staple of the punditocracy since he announced his candidacy. That it still holds such a prominent place in his second month in the Oval Office reveals what slow learners media liberals are.

Although completely wrong about the mind-set of voters from start to finish, they remain steadfast in their certainty that Trump needs a personality transplant to satisfy the public. At least that’s what they say.

What they mean is that they won’t accept him as legitimate until he plays by their rules. They see themselves as Washington’s gatekeepers, entitled to deference from newcomers, with the added requirement that Republican presidents approach on bended knee. They use the hysterical reaction of their fellow Democrats as a bludgeon to demand that Trump conform to the progressive catechism. Milk and cookies to the distressed are recommended.

Since when has he heeded the sage advice of these meddlesome, well-meaning-squishes who are used to having leaders either crater or cater to demonic-rats?

you are correct, not a SOTU. President does not give a SOTU address after 1 month in office.

Why not?

There exists a SOTU and it's bad....completely AFU.

(but about to turn around)

Please, President Trump - no mild, no conciliatory, no inclusive, no consensus - just BE YOURSELF!

“Large as life and twice as natural”.

I love how you think. “He should be at their dirty, oxygen stealing throats every heartbeat.”

Fantastic.

I love President Trump!

It annoys me though when he speaks or tweets about crap that I think is irrelevant, like the Apprentice.

MAGA!

Pray these Leftist geezers go through a major frisk procedure. These people are full of ISIS supporters and promote open borders and unchecked refugees and a financially bankrupt USA.

No telling how far they are willing to go to shut down this address to Congress. Unnerving.

Let him tweet.

My wife hates his tweets. She voted for Hitlery.

The tweets annoy the crap out of democrats. They work.

They won't accept him as legitimate regardless.

I love some of his tweets — the ones that pertain to his position now — and I love that he tweets and circumvents the press.

But he doesn’t need to rise to Hollywood’s baiting, like what Jimmy Kimmel did last night and I was proud he restrained himself. They are nobodies and should not have his attention.

Let's see how Republican leadership handles any Joe Wilson-like outbursts from the Democrats. I'm betting they will give Democrats a pass.

He should do his job, act presidential, lay out his policy and be inclusive.

Put the rats and the media in a position where in front of 60+ million people the president of the United States laid out his plan in a professional, unemotional manner and now the media have to report it. There can be no lying because then the world knows Trump was right.

Strategery.
