Trump’s State-of-the-Union Variety Show
Were you not entertained?🥱💤
The longest #SOTU in history is now over. #Trump …said little of substance, but substance wasn’t the point. This year, he intended to put on a show, with an array of guest stars & special appearances. He was happy, because he was playing the roles he clearly loves∶ game-show host, ringmaster, MC, beneficent granter of wishes—&,where Democrats were concerned, a self-righteous inquisitor.

#Trump did his usual rote #lying about the #economy — pity the fact-checkers who tried to keep up even in the first 10 minutes or so of the speech — along with some of his other greatest hits, including the many #wars he stopped [🙄] & the magic of #tariffs. (He referred to the “unfortunate involvement” of #SCOTUS on the tariff issue, as if the justices barged into his office like interlopers.)

Reagan, the “Great Communicator”, once managed to do the entire #SOTU address in 31 mins; that’s because he could say important things efficiently & well. Tonight, however, was not about communication, it was about showmanship. Almost every line was a cue for applause from obedient #Republicans; they even gave #JaredKushner a standing ovation [seriously?]. Every few minutes, #Trump told a story, & reached out into the audience like the host of The Price Is Right, telling people to come on down.
"What is the state of Trump? He is failing at fascism. For Trump to succeed in is fascist transition, he needs a bloody, popular, victorious war. And that is out of his reach. The State of the Union was full of fascist atmospherics. But it was also blowhard exhaustion."

If the State of the Union drinking game is counting the lies, everyone would be blotto in the first 15 minutes

Trump lies that inflation is down at 1.7 percent, when in fact it is at 2.4 percent.
Trump says he has lifted 2.4 million off of food stamps. In reality, Trump has introduced requirements which many do not meet, thereby denying food stamps to those in need.
Trump also claims that his tariffs are saving the US and will continue, all applause stops, and the camera cuts to Chief Justice Roberts who looks worried (picture 2).

The Meidas Touch Network is live streaming The People's State of the Union. This is the one to watch

In protest, many Democrats in Congress are reportedly not going to attend the State of the Union that Trump is giving. You should skip watching it too.
Shout out to the Meidas Mighty

To those brave enuff to tune in for #sotu, Good luck. I give you a lot of credit. George Soros couldn't pay me to watch.
I just found out from a protest buddy that Turner Classic Movies is playing the movie "Gaslight" at 8pm eastern time.
Excellent choice for counter-programming during the #SOTU 😂
President Donald Trump will deliver the first State of the Union address of his second term on Tuesday.
