Winners and Losers of the State of the Union
This isn't complicated—it's willpower.
President Donald Trump repeatedly confronted Democrats for refusing to stand and applaud on multiple occasions in the first official State of the Union address of his second term Tuesday night.
This strategy highlighted the extremism of Democrat policies while championing the people victimized by them.
President Trump drew attention to issues with broad public appeal, such as secure elections, public safety, energy production, and stories of American heroism, while daring Democrats to oppose his actions on these issues.
Here are the winners and losers of the speech.
Winner: Border Security
President Trump celebrated that “in the past nine months, zero illegal aliens have been admitted into the United States.”
The Department of Homeland Security has indeed claimed that not one illegal alien has been admitted during that time.
Former President Joe Biden said that he needed legislation from Congress to close the border, but President Trump effectively closed the border on his first day in office.

President Trump took a well-deserved victory lap on the border and crime

Winner: Energy
President Trump noted that “American oil production is up more than 600,000 barrels per day” and that the United States received from Venezuela—which he called “our new friend and partner”—more than 80 million barrels of oil.
Trump also touted cutting “a record number of job-killing regulations.”
Under Trump, the Environmental Protection Agency rescinded the Endangerment Finding, the centerpiece of federal regulation on oil and gas.

Winner: Erika Kirk
President Trump commemorated Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk, and honored his widow, Erika Kirk.
“Charlie was violently murdered by an assassin, and martyred—really martyred for his beliefs,” he said. “His wonderful wife, Erika, is with us tonight.”
“In Charlie’s memory, we must all come together to reaffirm that America is one nation under God, and we must totally reject political violence of any kind,” the president added.
Candace Owens is slandering @MrsErikaKirk, but President Trump rightly honors the bereaved widow at the State of the Union.
