Trump Sets the Midterm Contrast During SOTU Speech

Rapid Response

Last night during the State of the Union address, President Trump effectively drew a clear and important contrast between Republicans and Democrats.

 

 

A key moment came when Democrats remained seated after President Trump asked members of Congress to stand if they believed the U.S. government’s priority should be the American people.

 

Not only did President Trump prove that Democrats' priorities do not lie with the American people, but throughout the night it was clear that Democrats are so consumed by their hatred of President Trump, they have lost all commonsense.

 

The same can be said for the Democrats who chose not to show up and rallied with deranged Leftists dressed in costumes instead.

 

We're in a midterm year, and Democrats are refusing to show up — and when they do, they won't even agree that the American people should be their priority.
