President Trump said Monday that Democratic lawmakers who did not applaud his State of the Union speech last week were "un-American" and "treasonous."

Trump, speaking in Ohio, recalled the silence from Democrats in Congress when he praised low unemployment among African-Americans and Hispanics.

"They would rather see Trump do badly, OK, than our country do well. That's what it means, it's very selfish," he said. "It got to a point where I really didn't even want to look too much during the speech over to that side, because honestly it was bad energy. No, it was bad energy.

>>I definitely see the Democrats and the Democrat Party as treasonous . For years now they have been manipulating a downfall of America , via open borders and U.S. cultural genocide . The Democrat Party needs to be banned . 100%<<

Anyone who cares to get a clear understanding about what the anti-American Democrat Party is working to accomplish should take a look at the template they are using. It is clearly presented in the book by Douglas Murray entitled ‘The Strange Death of Europe’ published last year.

I agree, he is factual, and very good at the Twitter game. My point is that he sounds pretty small when is says something to the effect that “Democrats are traitors for not applauding my speech.” There is a lot of truth in that statement, but it just sounds pretty lame when you think about. And I like him and fully support him. But I don’t think the optics of that are very good, whether he is right or not.

The world is not as anal-retentive as you’d like it to be.

Nor, apparently, do they understand the meaning of words.

>>Agreed... when’s the last time a CINC uttered the T word publicly? 75yrs ago?<<

In my view the rarity of its use is part of the reason so damn many Deep Staters have had no qualms about their treasonous activities.

>>Yes he does need to bring this. He speaks the truth. The democrats and all their progressive ilk want to destroy America. That is their goal.<<

Well and truly said. Traitors masquerading as champions of the downtrodden. SPIT!

You don’t get what Trump is doing. By making an outrageous over the top comment the media will react with anger.

...

Agreed, and he seems to be working on a new brand for the Democrats. (bad energy, un-American, treasonous, dead)

Thank you!

The word 'traitor' is a common word with common meaning and usage in English. It is not and never has been solely a legal term of art. In fact the common usage is the first definition of the word traitor.

Why shouldn’t he bring it up????????????????????????????
You afraid the truth will get out?
Everybody didn’t have a chance to watch the SOTU! Some didn’t intend to watch!
Instead of criticizing our duly elected president, why don’t you criticize the traitors to our Constitution?

or another theory from Sun Zhu. Appear strong when weak and weak when strong. This is a statement of strength. Why is he weak. or. being formless to conceal. misdirection. But I suspect persuasion theory over Art of War. At least this time.
