"Donald Trump told us that the economy is wonderful and that everything is affordable. And if you believe that, then you probably believe he was faithful to all three of his wives. The address was the longest and worst State of the Union in our country's history."
"Trump's strategy is to flood the zone with so much BS that it's impossible to keep up. If any other president had spun out of thin air such a grandiose, absurd lie about their economic record, it would have been a huge scandal."
"President Trump had the chance to bring the country together tonight. Instead, we got a campaign rally where he lied, ducked responsibility and had zero answers for Americans worried about the challenges they're facing."
"One year into his presidency, families are paying more at the grocery store. Seniors are struggling to afford their prescription drugs. Small business owners are having trouble keeping their doors open."
Following Trump's nearly two-hour State of the Union address, Democrats and Republicans offered starkly contrasting reactions. Trump highlighted economic growth, controlled inflation, and a golden age ahead, addressing tariffs, border security, military recruitment, and energy production. Democratic representatives dismissed his claims as lies, with one comparing them to false promises about marital fidelity. They characterized the address as the longest and worst in history, suggesting Trump's strategy involved overwhelming audiences with falsehoods. Democrats argued Trump missed an opportunity for unity, instead delivering a campaign rally lacking substantive answers. Republicans countered that America had never been greater. Concerns emerged about tariffs' real-world impact on families' grocery costs, seniors' prescription drug affordability, and small business viability.
