Trump’s farcical 82-minute speech was rife with exaggerations, overstatements, outright lies, hypocrisies and threats. He calls for unity, says he’s ready to work with Congress, but calls the bipartisan budget-deal being hammered-out in-committee: “wasted time”; (he may AGAIN ‘be forced to’ shutdown the government or declare a National Emergency). “We must be united at home to defeat our adversaries abroad.” He doesn’t even seem to know who our adversaries are (won’t listen to intel-briefings); the Divider-in-Chief ramps-up every possible divisive issue. “We can’t have peace and legislation with ‘war’ and investigations.” His barely-veiled threat from his bully-pulpit won’t work; (similar tactic didn’t work for Richard Nixon in his 1974 SOTU appeal). “Wealthy politicians and donors push for open borders while living their lives behind walls, gates and guards.” The ‘exposed-Emperor of House-Trump’ has long hired ‘cheap-illegals’ in all his businesses, lives atop a golden, guarded tower and presides as Mad-King of Mar-a-Loco. Farcical!

My impression of Trump’s ‘patchwork’ State of the Union speech.
