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

He doesn't even need to give a speech. The Constitution requires that the President report to Congress on the State of the Union from time to time. Until the advent of radio and television, presidents simply sent letters to Congress.

Neither does it have to be a single address per year. A president could make two or more per year, with each devoted to a single area of concern. A SOTU for the economy, one for defense etc.

And there is no reason why Trump couldn't go over the heads of the media and post his SOTU remarks on the White House website.

Why not?

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