Trump's State of the Union will seek to calm voters' economic concerns ahead of midterm elections

[Dulcinea]

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump will use Tuesday’s State of the Union to champion his immigration crackdowns, his slashing of the federal government, his push to preserve widespread tariffs that the Supreme Court just struck down and his ability to direct quick-hit military actions around the world, including in Iran and Venezuela.

The Republican hopes he can convince increasingly wary Americans that his policies have improved their lives while ensuring that the U.S. economy is stronger than many believe — and that they should vote for more of the same in November.

The balancing act of celebrating his whirlwind first year back in the White House while making a convincing case for his party in midterm races where he personally won’t be on the ballot is a tall order for any president. But it could prove especially delicate for Trump, given how happy he is to veer off script and ignore carefully crafted messaging.

12. I am excited for this speech.

(Not that I am actually going to watch it)

If the Trump devotees around the nation watch this they will (finally) get a look at their dear leader unfiltered.

All the horrible and ridiculous things he says on a daily basis are never seen by them. They only watch FOX, which will not allow gibberish to be seen by their viewers.

Finally there is a live event which is likely to be seen by many (what kind of worshiper would they be if they didn't watch Trump's State of the Union?) and it's inevitable that some small percentage of them will wake up, at long last.

It won't change a thing, you bloated sack of Cheetos.

So, will there be a military presence at this little suare? Maybe a parade in front of the Capitol as he arrives?

Taking bets on that.

That is a more accurate headline.
