President Donald Trump will deliver the first State of the Union address of his second term tonight.
Yesterday, I asked if any of you were planning to watch. I also asked if there was something you’d like him to say during it. Here were your responses:
💬 “Yes, very proud of our president and country.” — Carolyn C.
💬 “As the leader of the most destructive cult in American politics, that man spews nonsense, hate, and vitriol against good American people. His lies are unmatched in the public sphere. And, more lies I don’t need to hear. I will not be watching.” — David
💬 “Trump … is destroying the USA as we knew it. This is not a good time. His ego and the LOW ratings will be a message to him louder than anything else. I will be watching the alternative. When will MAGA Republicans do their jobs?” — Rhonda G.
💬 “I am a Trump supporter. As far as what I want to hear him talk about tomorrow … I don’t think it matters as much as what I hope he DOESN’T say. I really do not want to hear him blame ‘the previous administration’ for the issues we are currently facing. Granted, I agree that a lot of things are the way they are due to a previous lack of competent leadership, but talking down others doesn’t show great leadership either. Most people respect a leader that handles things, remedies situations and tells us the truth … without finger pointing and blame. (I do, anyway!)” — Shannon N.
💬 “I plan on boycotting the ‘show’ as I hope ALL Democrats will including our Congressional Representatives.” — Doug R.
💬 “I would be thrilled if he would say ‘I’m resigning!’” — Jan M.
If you want to tune into an alternative, MeidasTouch, MoveOn, and other groups are holding a “People’s State of the Union” live stream starting at 6 p.m. Arizona time.
Another counter-rally called “State of the Swamp” will stream at 4:45 p.m. Arizona time. It’s hosted by DEFIANCE.org, Portland Frog Brigade, and COURIER.
