By now, the video has gone viral with Trump asking a simple question:
“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 immigrants.”
With great timing and a gift for performance and storytelling, Trump pauses and lets the applause grow. He luxuriated in the moment as the Democrats sat there, stone-faced, thinking it would play well at MS-Now. It probably will. Trump wanted all of America to see it and remember it. He set a trap. They walked right into it.
“You should be ashamed,” he said. Probably, he also knew it would agitate the Reps. Ilhan Omar and Rashida Tlaib, and it did. They screamed back at him, “YOU should be ashamed!” Yet another viral moment for a president who is really good at TV.
Trump embarrassed the Democrats again by paying tribute to a mother who rescued her daughter from the gender cult, and when the Democrats didn’t stand for that, Trump said, “These people are crazy.” Another viral moment that will live in infamy.
The Democrats have absolutely no ability to meet Trump on his level. When you think about it, he’s run circles around them as they have played Catch Trump if You Can, a ten-year obsession, a near-fatal attraction. They have gotten him wrong, lied about him, and every time Americans see for themselves who he really is, it sinks the Democrats deeper.
Whether it was honoring the grieving mother of Iryna Zarutska, a World War II vet, a hero who saved people during a flood, or the fantastic hockey champs bringing the gold, Trump’s State of the Union was positive and uplifting, showing us a much-needed reality out from under the sticky layer of media spin. We almost felt like united Americans again. At least one-half of us did.
I agree with Laura Ingraham, who said after the speech that it was the best Trump has ever given. He was relaxed, confident, funny, and strong. By contrast, the Democrats came off as sullen and petty, whose only offer to the voters is “join our Doomsday cult and you too can be miserable!”
Their first duty should be to protect American citizens. They should have stood up. They couldn’t because they don’t believe it. And that is how Trump got the better of them. Again.
I think we’re gonna miss him when he’s gone. It’s been a hell of a ride.

The head of the RNC said exactly that
Those pics will be part of Republican campaigns
A greater contrast would be made by showing the Dems past statements in conflict with todays’. Showing the issue isnt the issue it’s Donald Trump (MAGA too) alone. You cannot rely on representatives like that.
Sadly because of their divisive policies they need an enemy to rally the mob.
"Trump referenced Pelosi while discussing a proposed ban on congressional stock trading, saying, 'Did Nancy Pelosi stand up? Doubt it.'"
TDS may destroy Leftist lives, but it’s been a boon for our side. The Dems keep on giving Trump free campaign ads, and this moment will be replayed often leading up to the midterms.
The demonrats really disgraced themselves and showe3d the world the contempt they have for their country and it’s citizens. Trump should DEPORT THE WHOLE BUNCH TO IRAN
Trump was, as always, exhibiting his negotiation skills. This is a man who sharpened his eye teeth on real estate deals and building contracts in New York City, with the sharpest bunch of shyster lawyers anywhere in the US. The carrot and the stick, applied at unpredictable moments, the compliment followed by the insult, until the rivals, uncertain of what is coming next, are in a quandary as how to proceed.
We need more of this! This is all the low information voters can comprehend. - it has to be made this simple to reach them.
This is what’s been missing. I hope trump keeps hammering away at the differences between us and the left. And we have to SHOW THEM. Like physically show them. Trumps SOTU was a masterclass.
So true. When I was a Democrat in the 1980’s you couldn’t find many, even in Southern California where I grew up, who supported illegal immigration. Union leaders forty years ago fought for working class people back then. They worried, and rightfully so, that an illegal workforce would bring down wages.
Democrats four decades ago supported the very tarriffs Trump is using against foreign countries today. They also supported reducing the funding given to NATO and foreign aid overall.
There are so many policies that the president is delivering on that would have been supported by the majority of Democrats as late as the Clinton years. That’s when the party discovered being a globalist sellout paid better, and with that wealthy foreign backing, it enabled them to seek their ultimate goal of power and control over the country!
BETCHA THAT IS ALREADY IN THE WORKS.
Joined speech in progress.
Do not have a TV so watched on ABC internet feed.
After the speech I went to YouTube CNN feed to see what I had missed.
The President’s voice on CNN was altered to make him have a weaker voice.
The camera selections were less professional.
If this isn't plain as day to someone by now, then they sincerely need to have their head examined.
Cesar Chavez was against Illegal Immigration because of the downward pressure on wages.
Does anyone know if Fetterman stood up at this request of Congress by President trump?
Just curious.
President Trump....
Actually, they had no choice but to refuse, because either way they respond they appear as losers, One way alienatires their base, while the other alienates all the rest, and their base is there only hope, except for illegal aliens who augment their base which is why they support the illegal aliens to begin with..
...and gobs of money into their personal accounts from who knows where.
Look at the huge net worth of someone like Ilhan Omar, who came here as a penniless refugee.
On a Congressional salary?! No way, Jose!
Trump is helping the Republicans with traps that could be used in political commercials before the midterms. Republicans should thank Trump for this. It’s likely the next Republican president wouldn’t do this.
Excellent questions.
Yes, he did stand and he clapped. He even wore a suit and shook President Trump’s hand.
