Pelosi introducing Trump for the SOTU is more than a little bit awkward this year.
Trump is emphatically correct about one thing: By pretty much any objective metric, the U.S. really is doing phenomenally well right now.
For the second or third year in a row, Democrats in Congress refuse to applaud when Trump recites basic economic statistics about how good the economy, job market, and stock market are.
Why do Democrats hate economic growth and real, inflation-adjusted income and wage growth?

Finally, some Democrats clap for an inherently Democratic policy: Jailbreak.
What a photo 
Trump’s political appeal is that, on a visceral level, he talks like someone who loves America. That powerfully resonates with the median American.
This is indeed how Boehner used to introduce Obama, if I recall.
“We will never let socialism destroy American healthcare.”
That’s a great line.
That’s a great line.
What a special moment for the great Rush Limbaugh.
If I were @ComfortablySmug, I’d have a hard time coming up with an image that owns more libs than the image of Melania placing the Presidential Medal of Freedom on Rush, on national television, in front of so many captive MSM journos and Democrats.
@ComfortablySmug Democrats boo POTUS condemning sanctuary cities that mollycoddle criminal alien rapists, murders, gangbangers, drug traffickers, and human traffickers.
Keep it classy, guys.

@ComfortablySmug This is very powerful. Trump painting detailed, visceral images of the harm wrought by sanctuary jurisdictions brings to mind Justice Alito’s common practice of describing in full, gory detail the murders of those facing capital punishment.
@ComfortablySmug Lmao McConnell has such a hilarious smile.
@ComfortablySmug “Constitutional right to pray in public schools.”
NOW we’re talking, amirite @docMJP.

@ComfortablySmug @docMJP Say what you may about Trump, but he really does seem to love America. He is very much an “Americanist."
@ComfortablySmug @docMJP So when is this SOTU going to pivot to a treatise on the compelling national interest in rooting out corruption in Ukraine?
@ComfortablySmug @docMJP The Middle East foreign policy rhetoric in this speech is spot-on. Reaganite “peace through strength” deterrence (e.g., Soleimani) while winding down our refereeing sharia tribal wars in backwater hellholes.
@ComfortablySmug @docMJP Oh wow. That’s an awesome stunt for POTUS to pull off. Very, very cool.
@ComfortablySmug @docMJP Trump is very, very gifted at giving these SOTU addresses.
@ComfortablySmug @docMJP Pelosi looks like she just walked into a morgue.
@ComfortablySmug @docMJP Holy cow, did she really publicly rip up the speech?
@ComfortablySmug @docMJP Jen Rubin is utterly beyond parody.
@ComfortablySmug @docMJP Trump talks about record-low unemployment and killing the two most infamous terrorists on the face of the earth.
Pelosi physically tears up the speech.
The Democratic Party is not in a good place right now.
