Does a president usually give a copy of the SOTU address to the opposition party so they can draft a “proper” response? If so, Trump should either not give them one, or give them a different one from the speech he’ll actually give.
A master troll being a troll. God, I love it.
Previous Republican presidents usually gave the media a copy of their speeches before or just as they began delivering them. Trump is smart enough to know that is a losing strategy. Make them watch the speech, with clapping, interjections, etc. I hope he won’t change his usual method for next weeks SOTU speech.
