POLL STUNNERS: Both CBS and CNN Polls: 76 Percent of Viewers Approve President Trump’s State of the Union Speech; CBS: 72 Percent Approve His Immigration Ideas
IMHO Trump made the resistance and the purple revolution look like a bunch of scolds.
This is the first time I've seen a President acknowledge the horrors of human trafficking, sex trafficking, drug cartel violence, and flooding the country with cheap drugs that open borders facilitate.

Peggy Noonan, a former speech writer for President Reagan and no fan of President Trump, praised his speech tonight, saying, “This has been a deeply adept speech in terms of policy. He cut to the muscle on legal and illegal immigration, on abortion and infanticide, on foreign wars. His vow on socialism will be remembered. Great heroes in the balcony, a real American panoply. 1…And good natured with the white jackets, who I see some on twitter are calling the straight jackets. AOC had a rare bad night, looking not spirited, warm and original as usual but sullen, teenaged and at a loss. 2.”

Trump Calls for Unity Over Partisanship to Achieve American Greatness President urges lawmakers to put country over party, choose greatness over gridlock, and unite to revitalize the nation By Charlotte Cuthbertson and Ivan Pentchoukov February 5, 2019 Updated: February 5, 2019
WASHINGTON—President Donald Trump projected a grand course for the United States in his State of the Union speech on Feb. 5.
Anticipation for the annual speech ran high, with the address wedged between a record-setting government shutdown and the prospect of another a mere 10 days away.
The White House cast the theme of the speech as “choosing greatness,” and Trump appealed to both sides of the aisle in his opening remarks.
“There is a new opportunity in American politics, if only we have the courage, together, to seize it. Victory is not winning for our party,” he said. “Victory is winning for our country.”
The audience at the Capitol—composed of almost all members of Congress, Supreme Court justices, the president’s Cabinet, and guests—regularly broke out in raucous cheers. A chant of “U-S-A” broke out when Trump said: “Ladies and gentlemen, the state of our union is strong.”
Trump heralded his economic successes over the past two years, including the creation of 5.3 million jobs. The president pointed to tax cuts enacted in 2017 and the thinning of regulations as the main drivers of growth.
He stressed the importance of putting America first in trading relationships. China is the biggest trading headache for the administration, and the president has taken a tough stance against the regime. A new round of tariffs will be triggered if China fails to secure a deal by March 1.
“We are now making it clear to China that after years of targeting our industries and stealing our intellectual property, the theft of American jobs and wealth has come to an end,” Trump said.
