To see how much he lied and pandered to the liberal voter...or tried to pretend he is middle of the road...

The fact that only 8% of the nation watched, proves no one with a brain, considers him our president. Lowest SOTU viewed since 1993 when records started being kept, despite highest number of citizens.

He made no good points. He did lie a lot.

I watched it and thought it was beautifully delivered. He has done a great job despite the difficultly of Covid impactions, and the heartbreaking Ukraine situation.

I find it amazing, that a president this popular and loved this much, can only get 8% of the nation to watch such an important event.

Amazing, I agree. A man who has never told the truth in his life, gets 81 million votes in the election, but can only garner 26.9 million viewers for his SOTU. The lowest viewed SOTU since 1993, even though our nation is at the lowest point in history. Sheeple would follow him into the ocean to die.

Jeff, did you eat h the same speech I did? What about mentioning China’s inhumane treatment of free speech or the ethnic Uhygers of China who many are in prison camps. Why isn’t he and the world as outraged at that? Or the FBI targeting parents at school board meetings? He is a joke.

No

Trump and his goons in every state in every department are running it into the ground acting like it's the best thing ever and it's not. People are suffering now more then his first term or even during Biden term

> "Trump and his goons" Goons? It's 2025. Trump is a lot of things, but comparing he and his team continued success to a childish name, you need better sources of your insults. For example, stop using The Rolling Stone as a primary news source.

Then, you prefer the 9% inflation for 4 straight years, instead of 2.9%. Where did you get your economics degree?

We're too close to 2026 and it'll take a long time to reverse.

That was during a period of worldwide inflation ... and we were actually doing better than most other advanced countries. Inflation is higher now than when Biden left office.

Compare November 2025 to November 2026 ... roughly same and 2026 figure was held down by the government shutdown. Let's check back at this time next year and you try to explain away the recession.

Inflation is less than 1/3rd of when Biden was in office. Fix your calculator.

Biden tactics were destroying the world's economies.

The U.S. dollar dominates the world economy due to its role as the primary reserve currency, backed by the massive U.S. economy, unmatched financial market liquidity, and historical inertia since the 1944 Bretton Woods system. It facilitates 88% of global exchange transactions, 54% of trade

Incidentally, our previous president has not acquired enough money to build his presidential library, not even enough money for a presidential magazine stand.

I have no desire to watch him spew lies and pat himself on the back. He's a sorry excuse of a human being.

Thee truth is hard for some to swallow. Maybe you could find a Biden or Obama clip to watch?

I didn't but have total support for the vast majority of what he has accomplished and is trying to accomplish. The country was harmed greatly by the Democrats, they plundered our wealth, Republicans also played a hand. No more.

Do a little research on how our national debt has grown under republican presidents compared to democrats. Also see how Reagan and "trickle down economics" is what put us on the path to financial ruin while creating the tremendous wealth inequality we see today.

Going back nearly fifty years, when I was in the military, and Carter was the president, the military was starving. As an E-6 with a wife and two children, legally, I qualified for food stamps. Instead, I got a part-time job. Carter, was a far better president than Obama, and Biden. Facts are tough.

You got tired of that with 8 years of Obama and 4 years of Biden. That's over, now.
