State of the Union addresses tend to be much less dishonest than almost every other kind of Trump speech. Because he usually sticks to script for these, and the overwhelming majority of his lies come when he is ad-libbing.
Trump's prepared speeches will sometimes include claims he previously seems to have made up. Other times, as with immigration during the midterms, staff will deliberately, strategically insert false claims into his texts. But mostly, Trump's lying is him doing his own thing.
More than actual false claims/lies, what you usually see in Trump speeches like State of the Union addresses is omitted context, cherry-picked data points, and questionable credit-claiming. But he doesn't usually, like, claim to have been named Michigan Man of the Year.
