The political cracks in modern America didn’t look very dark.
President Donald Trump’s joint speech to Congress on Tuesday night adopted a familiar custom of annual political observance. However, they failed to fill the gap between misunderstanding and light emptying.
“Mr. Speaker, the President of the United States,” robbed House Sergeant with arms in his legendary refrain before Trump entered the House.
It was one of the only ordinary moments of the night when the president exemplified the unity of a broken nation as he embarks on a second term, as he believes that fear of millions will destroy the nation they love.
To the left of Trump was his worshipful and loud followers. He flew over and over to their feet, cheering on “America, America, America” and “Trump, Trump, Trump,” and on the Republican bench, he turned beyond all perception into a personal political movement.
His speech was indistinguishable from his campaign rally, pulsating with fiery rhetoric, falsehood and demagogully.
But as Senate Speaker John Tune and conservative Supreme Court judges have seen from underneath, President Trinity, Vice President J.D. Vance Mike Johnson, as Senator John Tune and conservative Supreme Court judges, spoke about unlimited GOP power.
As this was not officially a union speech, Trump did not offer a classic line from the president’s annual report. However, evidence from the Primetime Show on Tuesday night shows that the state of the Magazine dominates.
Meanwhile, the Democratic Party is ineffective.
Some of the top opposition figures didn’t even appear. Most of them sat hard and quietly, sitting on stone faces. But Texas officials set up a Trump, rocked his wand and ignored Johnson’s call to ask him to sit down. He was kicked out of the Sergeant’s office by a heavy weapon with a cry and loud voice from the Republican bench. It was an ugly, angry scene, but I did a lot to personify the division of the country.
Some Democrats hugged the placards reading “liars” or “fakes,” while others went outside. It is a gesture that mainly serves to highlight the party’s limp and uncoordinated resistance to the president, who claims almost unlimited power, along with Green’s lonely protests.
The president’s annual speech has become even more tense and indicted in recent years, and we’ve seen Republicans take over Democrats Barack Obama and Joe Biden. Trump reminded me of several moments in humanity that highlighted valuable Americans, including when 13-year-old brain tumor survivor DJ Daniel ordered him to be sworn as a Secret Service agent.
However, he made little effort to reach beyond his political foundations. Instead, the president, who first appeared in the House room since supporters plundered it on January 6, 2021, took sole responsibility for the crisis of public dishonesty towards his enemy. He ignored the influence of his own politics, which is rooted in widening divisions than other recent presidents. He frequently denounced Biden, taking on continued stamina to Trump, even after Democrats were disappointed from the public stage, and using racial shaming against Massachusetts Democrat Sen. Elizabeth Warren.
“This is my fifth speech to Congress, and once again I see the Democrats in front of me and realize that I can never say anything to make them happy, smile or praise them,” Trump said.
“I have been able to find cures for the most devastating illnesses, which are diseases that wipe out the whole country or present answers to the biggest economy in history. And these people sitting here don’t applause, hold back, certainly don’t support these astronomical achievements.”
Former top Obama aide, CNN political commentator David Axelrod summed the mood with one of Trump’s “wins” renamed the Gulf of Mexico. “When you think of the Gulf Coast, the current gap between the parties may be called the US Gulf,” he wrote in a post about CNN’s livestream online expert analysis.
Although it often felt sick, Tuesday night’s political theatre made clear at least where the country was.
Trump personifies a genuine slice of American natural character into a quarter of the 21st century, or nationalist. Hostile to foreign entanglements. I’m tired of undocumented migration and the perception of liberals’ “awakening” on issues of diversity and gender. And they believe that the elite who run the government is the enemy of the people.
The president entered the speech after the most concentrated new presidency since Franklin Roosevelt in 1933, but Democrats have built a more lasting change in a blizzard of law that is more permanent than the enforcement actions Trump signed.
Trump’s new mantra is “common sense.” This is a catchy justification for Elon Musk’s federal introspection. Trump’s efforts to impose peace on Ukraine, which supports Russia. On Tuesday, his imposition of a massive tariff designed to protect his country’s businesses. And his extraordinary charm on live television to the people of Greenland to split with Denmark and join the US. (Polls suggest that Greenlanders are not interested.)
To many Americans, away from the cities and suburbs where most Democrats live, this actually looks like common sense, and Trump’s shock and adoration of his term is a down payment for his promises.
“America is back,” Trump said. “Our country is on the crisis of a comeback that the world has never witnessed and perhaps never again,” he continued: “It was nothing but a swift and relentless action. People chose to do my job, and I am doing it.”
But Trump was chosen to correct rising prices for groceries and housing. Biden and his successors, former Vice President Kamala Harris, a Democratic nominee, had little answer to one of the biggest issues of last year’s election. On Tuesday there was little evidence that Trump had plenty of plans to fix these issues. He denounced his predecessor for the empty price of eggs, but in reality, the terror of the growing bird flu pushed the costs up to the peak of his watch.
Trump has not mentioned the recent rush by the stock market that was surprised by the introduction of a 25% tariff in Canada and Mexico on Tuesday, or the possibility that there could be a surprising indication that the job could rise further when consumer confidence is immersed in its economy, and that there are surprising signs that it won’t slip through economic growth.
And, as usual, much of what Trump said was not true. As he said, he had not inherited the economic catastrophe from Biden. His claim that foreign countries had empty asylum in America was not true. And he has greatly inflated the true tally of the billions of dollars the Biden administration gave to Ukraine.
Trump is a hero to his supporters, but many other Americans believe that his policies will never make America great again, but erase the values and missions that have built the greatness of the nation over generations.
With his tariffs, embrace of dictators and a light emptying against his home and democracy abroad, Trump is simultaneously dismantling the national security and free trade structures that have made America the richest and most powerful nation in history. Since returning to the White House, his power has threatened the constitution and the rule of law. It examines the horrors of its founders who fear that the president might one day become king.
Michigan Sen. Elissa Slotkin warned that the president would make him pay more for all American salaries in a democratic response to Trump’s speech, and that Ronald Reagan warned Trump’s Russian President Vladimir Putin that he “involved his grave.”
She has a point.
But the beckoning of years of political anger and division. As Trump said: “We’re just starting out.”
