When Democrats Make Donald Trump The Normie In The Room, They're Losing
This framing isn't accidental.
Donald Trump has had, without question, a first fourteenish months in office that is hard to top in any other administration of my lifetime in accomplishments. And to be fair, it would also be correct to say that no president has stirred up more angst and controversy among his detractors than any other administration in a similar time period. After last week's press conference at the White House a day after the Supreme Court's 6-3 decision on the tariffs case, Donald Trump's contempt for the majority opinion was so palpable that one of the questions going into last night's State of the Union was how soon and how hard the President would rhetorically apply the Trump tattoo to the justices present in the joint session of Congress. Trump certainly had words, but they were tempered and not made personal. In fact, for virtually the entirety of the address, which came in a few ticks under two hours, the speech was about the best speech Donald Trump has ever delivered. At times, establishing the narrative that real progress has been made on economic problems created and/or exacerbated by the Biden Regency, and at other points a celebration of American excellence, whether in sports, or bravery, courage, and resilience in all walks of life, this was simply a State of the Union speech unlike any other we've heard. And that is a very, very good thing. Regardless of who occupies the building at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, the State of the Union address, as the saying goes, always devolves into a laundry list of spending requests or new government programs that sound and feel good at the time, but don't have a prayer of getting passed or funded, because of the huge national debt we're carrying. This speech was not that at all. Unlike all previous affairs, Donald Trump did not mention one new spending program he wanted Congress to pass. Not one. What we got instead was a grand tour of the absolute best of America. Donald Trump, when he had won all seven swing states and the popular vote on the first Tuesday of November 2024, said in interviews and press conferences in the days and weeks after that America's success would serve as his ultimate revenge. Never Trump, Inc., whether it be Resistance media, elected Democrats, and/or neurotically broken former Republicans that can't come to grips with the fact that Donald Trump survived them, convinced themselves that Trump would be a dictator and an authoritarian, and for the next four years, it would be a nightmare retribution tour. The fact that Donald Trump gave a speech delivering on what he promised, succeeding by recognizing the greatness and successes of others, drove them crazy. Ever since Donald Trump came down the escalator at Trump Tower in Manhattan in 2015, the attempt by Never Trump, Inc. was to marginalize him as being unstable and crazy. And Donald Trump has certainly provided antics over the years to give that criticism backing. But last night, Donald Trump really de-emphasized himself in the spotlight, which is what knocked so many Democrats off their footing. He put the spotlight on heroes. He brought in the U.S. Men's Hockey team. The President, just days after the Olympics in Milan, posted …
