Trump kicked off his State of the Union address by boasting about his economic policies and global leadership, claiming the country has “achieved a transformation like no one has ever seen before.”
He also set a record for the longest SOTU at 1 hour and 47 minutes.
Andrew Bates, Joe Biden’s former deputy press secretary, gave Trump’s SOTU address an ‘E’ for Epstein, and accused the President of ‘gaslighting Americans.’
Bates referred to recent nationwide polling showing that the economy is the most concerning issue to voters and insisted that ‘Republican policies that are making their lives more expensive.’
Despite the polls, Trump spent only two minutes on Americans’ number one priority, ‘affordability.’
Bates again lamblasted Trump’s plan to replace the income tax with tariffs, calling it the ‘biggest transfer of wealth from working families to billionaires in history.’
Bates key statement landed loudly: ‘Instead of listening to the voters who are crying out for relief, the President patted himself on the back, gaslighting Americans who know he’s lying about the bills they pay every day.’
Naturally, Republicans gave Trump a grade of ‘A’, probably scared of the repercussions if they didn’t.
