I remember when I was in middle school. Teachers would make us try to tune into the State of the Union — the speech where the president would basically level with Americans about what’s going on, how the country is going, what he’s going to do, and more.
Back then, I didn’t realize how important it was to have a president who actually served the American people. I didn’t realize how nice it was to have faith in the US system. Well, nowadays, we all learned the hard way, didn’t we.
Insiders in the GOP claim that Trump may have already “killed” his presidency in just a year. In other words, the fuckers are saying that Americans lost faith in the system as a result of Trump doing Trumpy things.
Part of the way he killed his presidency dealt with the SOTU address he just gave. As an American, I’m mortified by this speech. Let’s talk about why…
First off, Trump didn’t even bother trying to tell the truth in his speech.
Trump is not known for being an honest man. The only time he was really honest with people was when he said that he didn’t care about others, only about his votes. Unsurprisingly, there were several major lies spouted by the Orange Bastard during his address:
No, Trump did not “save” the US economy nor is it doing too well. He’s claiming we have the “hottest” economy. We don’t. It’s been suffering pretty badly. The GOP shrank the economy, if anything.
Trump said there was about $18 billion in investments by the US government. There is no proof to the investments he made. The White House website states a far different number of around $9 billion — with some even questioning whether $5 billion was spent at all.
His bitching about immigrants didn’t hold water, either. Statistically, immigrants are less likely to commit crimes than US citizens.
Trump also touted “beautiful, clean coal.” I…Ugh. I just can’t with this point. He’s also pulling a Don Quixote and attacking wind turbines over the “threat to birds” he also doesn’t care about.
Election fraud isn’t a thing. He keeps saying he won 2020. He didn’t. Biden did. And now he’s whining that fraud might happen here. It might, because the GOP keeps committing fraud. But he won’t say that, will he?
It’s hard to understand why anyone would waste time listening to this State of the Union when it’s literally just a gush of propaganda and lies. At this point, I feel like the only people who would listen to him would be the people in his cult. It’s an insult to American intelligence to think that people would believe him.
Most of the major issues we’re seeing are a result of GOP propaganda and Trump himself.
Another reason why I’m embarrassed about this SOTU is the fact that he’s whining about things that weren’t even caused by Democrats. All the political issues we’re having, from strained connections with Canada to economic slaughter via tariffs, are because of Trump and his cronies.
Most Americans are not okay with the way the country is headed. Most Americans are not okay with the ICE raids on school children, the concentration camps, or the way the Epstein files allowed the perpetrators to go Scot-free.
Perhaps the biggest slap on the face comes from the fact that Trump, a known child rapist, is giving the State of the Union address. He had the audacity to blame others when his actions have been tearing America to pieces.
Even the UK arrested Prince Andrew. Here, we don’t do that. We let them deliver the State of the Union Address. Wow.
Even the guest list was tone deaf.
Normally, I’d just lay into the GOP and it’s foolery. This time, though, I’m embarrassed because of both sides of the coin. Both groups were tone deaf AF when it came to the guest list.
Democrats invited Epstein list survivors. Not for nothing, but as a survivor of a sex trafficking ring, the last thing that I’d want to be invited to is a party where people are applauding one of the people who hurt me.
Who did Trump invite? Erika Kirk. She basically has nothing to do with politics. She’s just the widow of the modern Horst Wessel.
Basically, this State of the Union is why we are a major laughingstock right now.
There are so many horrific things happening in the United States, including Trump actively hiding himself from the Epstein file releases and the atrocities that ICE is doing to both foreigners and legal US residents.
There are so many things we should have been talking about in that address. We could be talking about how he’s planning to go to war with Iran or the devastation of the tariffs.
But no, he didn’t talk about that. He didn’t take accountability. He just lied, lied, lied, then lied some more. And somehow, he thought that this turned out okay. And Democrats, being wusses, didn’t do anything to stop the address.
I’ve been hearing a lot of people boycotting the State of the Union address. I, personally, am one of them. I only read about it from trusted sources. I refuse to sit there and be lied to for an hour straight.
The Mad King is not going to get my time. All I know is that I am embarrassed to be an American after seeing the disaster that was the State of the Union — more so than I’ve normally been in recent months.
