The Land of the Free is hot, but it’s not the only in vogue thing that graced Trump’s two-hour Tuesday night speech.

t’s official, the United States of America is, as President Donald Trump declared during his 2026 State of the Union address, “the hottest country anywhere in the world.”

The Land of the Free is hot, but it’s not the only in vogue thing that graced Trump’s two-hour Tuesday night speech. Here’s every significant moment from the late-night assembly ranked hot to not.

HOT

U.S. Men’s Hockey Team Jack Hughes’ broken winning smile and Connor Hellebuyck’s presidential medal of freedom were the perfect cherry on top of the American team’s patriotic Olympic gold medal celebration.

Awesome speech. I heard it on the radio . Later on I checked out videos from the parts where that helped.

His SOTU addresses just keep getting better and better.

What an amazing recap of incredible progress in one short year.

The DEMS were just sickening and nauseating. They hate everything except illegals, criminals, killing babies and men pretending to be women.

The long series of instances with Republicans cheering and Democrats remaining in their seats was simply wonderful. Best line of the night: "These people are crazy."

The only complaint I have (and it's not a small thing) is that when he accused Democrats of cheating in elections he didn't list the many different ways they cheat and to what degree, particularly he didn't bring up Venezuelan manipulation of voting machines and detail what is to be done about that.

Democrats dominate our government agencies, including vote registration rolls and counting bureaucracies. They are absolutely dependent upon government, having a life and death stake economically in election outcomes. Their policy preferences are so bad that if they can't make crooked deals, they can't raise money. Of course they cheat. It's not enough just to assert as much.

“The DEMS were just sickening and nauseating.”

Earlier in the day I had heard that none of the Dems would attend — and I prayed that was true. But nooooo... some showed up.

This was a verbal curb-stomping.

For 98% of the SOTU speech, President Trump kept it positive and promoted successful first year accomplishments and those that will come to fruition in the near future. He didn’t hardly mention the stolen second election, but he didn’t ignore it either. This just wasn’t the time or place to focus on that sad state of affairs. Too many good things happening to let that overshadow this SOTU.

TV on ABC at the gym this morning.

Five seconds with PDJT speaking.

Ten second graphic of an ABC phony poll showing how a majority of the public disapproves of his policies on illegals, tariffs and the economy.

With that on the viewer’s mind, they cut to a commercial.

Next up was ten secs of Ilhan Omar and AOC shouting at PDJT.

Then, 20 seconds of Gove Spamberger lies.

We cannot despise the fake media enough.

I was a witness to history!

When, at 2205, the Democratic party committed harikari on national television.

... he didn't list the many different ways...

He didn't need to.

We all know them, the Dems would ignore them, and the low info voters that determine elections weren't watching anyhow.
