It was very good.

Best in my 40 years of watching.

I watched on Right Side Broadcast. She stood when guests were honored. Looked bored and shuffled papers when she obviously disagreed with him.

Hume should retire.

I want to see how they counter this. I suspect they had no real idea of how it would go.

In his debate with Carter, Reagan actually stopped debating and began describing the beauty of California. I remember that.

Wow Bret Hume saying it’s one of the most effective SOTU speeches he’s heard.

[JME_FAN]

Well, that was one hell of a speech - especially Trump’s closing remarks. Very inspiring. The Democrats really showed themselves to be tone deaf when not supporting those elements that I would bet most of their constituents likely agree with.

[NFHale]

He can smirk all he wants.

He isn’t President, and neither is Bill Clinton’s Coattail.

Reagan encouraged China trade which killed 40,000 manufacturing jobs. Trump is the only president who is trying hard to bring those jobs back.

[Tench_Coxe]

That speech showed what the Democrats aren't.

Brett Baier is trying to minimize, but the chord was struck.

[Jamestown1630]

Excellent!

(What were they thinking, given recent news?)

[entropy12]

not 40,000....40,000,000

[Pravious]

Hume should retire.

He’s saying good things about the speech. It’s Martha McCword and Bret Baier that were doing the general commentary.

The best speech ever !!!! best president ever!!!

But Spanish is a transphobic language! Spanish nouns are either male or female—no nongenders nor non-binary genders nor any of the 57 multiple genders.

[livius]

Fantastic speech!

[backwoods-engineer]

All in all, a very Presidential SOTU. Glad he's our President, and I think he was born for such a time as this. I believe Trump is Strauss and Howe's predicted Gray Champion in this Fourth Turning.

HOWEVER-- Between the Demonrats and the Bill Kristol wing of the Republicans, ALL of Trump's agenda is a non-starter. They Uniparty and the Deep State have no interest in America First. They are for THEMSELVES first.

Trump WILL have to use executive authority to build the Wall.

Yup, she was definitely juggling loose molars most of the night
