President Donald Trump’s 2026 State of the Union speech gave every American a front-row seat to see exactly who Democrats are — and more importantly, what they refuse to stand for.
According to reports, more than 70 Democrats chose not to attend the speech, but most did, and several times over the course of the evening, they made a choice. They sat. They scowled. They heckled. While Republicans rose time and again in applause, the left side of the chamber looked like a group of children being punished.
And Trump noticed.
He called them out — repeatedly — for refusing to show even the most basic bipartisan enthusiasm for moments that should have been beyond politics. But nothing cut deeper than one specific challenge he laid down for every lawmaker in that room.
"One of the great things about the State of the Union is how it gives Americans the chance to see clearly what their representatives really believe," Trump said. "So, tonight, I'm inviting every legislator to join with my administration in reaffirming a fundamental principle. If you agree with this statement, then stand up and show your support. The first duty of the American government is to protect American citizens, not illegal aliens."
Republicans exploded. They stood, clapped, and whistled for a solid two minutes. It was the kind of raw, spontaneous reaction you can't manufacture.
Democrats didn't move.
Not a shuffle. Not a courtesy clap. Nothing.
Trump let their refusal to stand do the work for a moment.
Then he turned the knife.
"Isn't that a shame? You should be ashamed of yourself, not standing up," he said.
Oh, but he wasn’t done.
He kept going. "That is why I'm also asking you to end deadly sanctuary cities that protect the criminals and enact serious penalties for

Their silence spoke volumes.
The RATS were so silent and still, I thought they were using the SOTU to remove the lint from under their foreskins.
I thought the same thing as I watched!
that just lost Democrats the midterms.
It should have, but the media won’t be covering it.
Nor will they cover the absurdity of Democrat Spanberger speaking about “affordability” while she and her Democrat party impose taxes on numerous basic goods and services.
Zero ARRESTS, zero MIDTERM VOTES!!
Only ARRESTS matter.
It's JUSTICE, stupid!
It seems to me that there were SEVERAL such moments.
When can we expect democrats to become patriotic Americans instead of sullen, reluctant Americans?
True, but this one was potentially the most potent.
I also liked it when he called out Somalis by name. Ilhan Omar looked liked sending care for that much
Correct. Most people did not tune in the first place anyway.
It will be run in GOP ads for years.
They will see it in the fall.
Both Dems and many Republicans are going to need to be reminded of their collective behavior from back in February.
The average American is not like us here, the majority appear to have very short memories when it comes to all the inappropriate or bizarre things said by members of the Democrat Party.
All I kept thinking was, “A house divided against itself cannot stand.”
About the same proportion of America voted for the proportion of the chamber that did not stand. I have to conclude they support the democrapic position.
(The first duty of the American government
is to protect American citizens,
not illegal aliens.”)

I sure hope demoncRAT supporters watched and took note that their representatives are for illegals who are criminals and not for American citizens. But we know that those demoncRAT supporters of their representatives are suffering from TDS.
Democrats pushed to the limit in 1861.
Now they’re pushing it to the limit in 2026.
There’s going to have to be a reckoning with this party before they ever get back in power.
Because if they do, and they will some day, it’s going to be Civil War 2.
(are suffering from TDS.)
As are a few among us...
But not ME...
God bless President Trump!
