LOS ANGELES (OC).–President Donald Trump delivers his first State-of-the-Union speech in a backdrop of the most bitter partisanship in U.S. history, with many Democrats refusing to attend with those attending promising to make a scene. Democrats and the fake news are committed to winning back the House and maybe the Senate in the Midterm elections, hoping to convince voters that things are worse off today than when former President Joe Biden was in office. But are they? Wall Street has been in a historic bull market taking the Dow Jones Industrial average to over 50,000, once thought unthinkable. Inflation has moderated under Trump’s economic policies allowing the Federal Reserve Board to cut interest rate to 3.6%, the lowest in years, reducing the prime interest rate to 6.75%, lowering car loans and other installment debt. Yet Democrats and fake news say the economy is a disaster.
So, when it comes to the State-of-the-Union it becomes Trump and Republicans rejoinder to Democrats and the fake news false narrative that the country is in ruins under Trump. How voters can believe Democrat and fake news propaganda is anyone’s guess. While things aren’t perfect and not all Trump’s policies have worked out, on balance things look better than they did before he was inaugurated over a year ago. Democrats will scoff at Trump’s speech, attempting to reverse the growing Democrat and fake news narrative that Trump runs a lawless presidency, disobeying the Constitution and ignoring the rule of law. Democrats will react harshly to Trump’s sales job, a privilege he’s earned since becoming president. Trump has no way to stop all the Democrat and fake news attacks, knowing it’s all about convincing voters to vote Democrat in November.
Trump plans to focus on the good things happening at the economy and on the border where illegal crossings are down to a minimum. Recent violence in Mexico from drug cartels proves Trump’s point that the Mexican government has no power over transnational drug gangs, essentially running the country. U.S. tourists and exiles caught in the crosshairs know there’s little at this point the U.S. government can do for their safety. Trump’s immigration and deportation policy was designed to keep the violence and lawlessness off American streets. Democrats only complain about civil liberties for criminals, not the U.S. citizens suffering from under the threat of violence in their communities. Democrats use s policies increase government lawlessness. He gets a unique opportunity tonight to fight back against the Democrat and fake news endless propaganda war.
Trump faces constant accuations of violation the Constitution, his oath of office and the basic laws of the land. Democrats have no shame accusing him of the most horrific crimes even where there’s no evidence, only unending conjecture. Trump was accused for years by Democrats of colluding with Russia, something that was dismissed by Special Counsel Robert Mueller yet partisan Democrats continue to sprea the Russian hoax to his day. Nothing has changed for Democrats and the fake news, now accusing Trump of dictatorship, rehashing old talking points from Kamala’s failed presidential campaign. Why Democrats think voters believe all the fake news now is anyone’s guess. Do thiey live on the same planet saying Trump has trashed the U.S. economy? Democrats and the fake new give Trump no credit when he’s clearly fixing the broken economy and foreign policy.
Trump socked it to Democrats and the fake news tonight, showing why his oratorical skills are second to none. No Democrat or Republicans has the charisma to challenge Trump directly, only by a vigilant propaganda campaign, a death by a thousand cuts, can Dememocrat and the fake new make any inroads. Deemcrats have the advantage of controlling the airwaves, with only Fox News and a handful of less popular stations giving the conservative perspective. Trump has his own brand of conservative politics, sometimes at odds with his own Party. Trump wanted Democrats to applaud at certain patriotic points during the speech but generally go a cold reception. Gone are the days when former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) lost control and tore Trump’s State-of-the-Union Speech on a national stage. Heading into November’s Midterm elections, Democrats only pray that voters have a short memory.
Focusing on the Epstein scandal is a risky proposition for Democrts and the fake news. They’re banking on the fact they can tie Epstein to Trump, something that hasn’t happened yet. When it comes to new policies, Democrats can only go back to the liberal policies of former presidents Barack Obama and Joe Biden. Obama and Biden’s answer to the sluggish economy was to increase government borrowing, sponsoring the largest spending bills in U.S. history. Trump is trying to grow the private sector, shrinking government jobs while, at the same time, growing private sector employment. Obama and Biden thought they could increase taxes to pay for extravagant government spending while running up massive federal budget deficits. Trump has tried to shrink federal deficits by cutting taxes and reducing regulation to unleash American business as never before.
