Summary

Trump’s speech to Congress was a campaign-style tirade filled with falsehoods, personal grievances, and attacks on Democrats.

He exaggerated economic issues, blamed Biden for inflation, and misrepresented Social Security data. He renewed imperialist rhetoric about annexing Greenland and the Panama Canal while distorting U.S. aid figures to Ukraine.

Trump spent more time on culture war issues than policy, vowing to end “wokeness.” He also falsely claimed his legal troubles were political persecution.

Meanwhile, markets reeled from his new tariffs, which he dismissed. The speech showed deep partisan divides and his continued reliance on misinformation.

      Calling him a toddler is dangerous. It diminishes the impact of his actions.

      He’s a Russian puppet, installed to destroy our country, and that’s exactly what he’s doing.

      I’d expect the adults in the room, the US population, to stand up and smack his ass down.

      But apparently that’s too much to ask, so he continues to get away with everything.
