White House plans to use State of the Union for impeachment victory lap
by Rob Crilly
 | January 30, 2020 04:00 PM



The White House is putting next week’s State of the Union address at the center of plans to celebrate President Trump’s impeachment acquittal, with what is intended to be an uplifting message that he is ready to work with Democrats on big-ticket items.

Trump allies say they do not want to prejudge the outcome of the Senate trial and vote. But they are increasingly confident it will be finished in time to use Tuesday’s speech to mark the outcome.

Although an Oval Office address and campaign rallies have been floated as part of an impeachment victory lap, the timing makes the pomp and ceremony of the State of the Union the natural place to begin the next phase of Trump’s presidency, according to multiple sources familiar with the matter.

That will include an appeal to Democrats to end their feuding and to work together for the American people.

I don't think that they should plan on anything just yet -- Trump hasn't been acquitted and anything can still happen.

Secondly, does he really want to do a victory lap?  Unnecessary.  What I believe he needs to do is accurately proclaim his accomplishments and lay out what he wants to accomplish for America in the next year and when he's re-elected.  I believe that will be much better than wasting anymore time on impeachment.

He'll mention it in passing, I don't see how he could resist.  Wastes maybe 20-30 seconds of the speech.   :shrug:

As well he should.  If anyone deserves a victory lap, it's Donald Trump.   :patriot:

I Agree. But, I think the president will also use the opportunity of the State of the Union to invite the democrats back into service for the country, to join him in solving problems for Americans. He will reach out to anyone willing to work with him, republican or democrat.

Because that’s the kind of man and president he is.

I'm reasonably sure Trump does -- because that's the way he is.  He loves being portrayed as the innocent beset by enemies and now he can say he vanquished those enemies.  This presidency has been television drama and now he's the hero.  And really, this is what many of his supporters want to hear. I doubt they really care about the issues.  Seems to me they didn't care that he didn't keep most of his campaign promises, so why would they care about the issues now?

I still think he should tape one of his rallies in which he describes his accomplishments and plans and send that tape to Congress saying he believes House and Senate Dems make speaking before Congress unsafe. :smokin:

So, will Nana Pelosi invite him to enter the House' chamber to give the State of the Union?  I don't think she did last year. 

Wherever it is given, it's bound to be a great speech!   :patriot:

Honestly, I believe we should go back to the days when the SOTU was a written report.  Used to watch every SOTU address, no matter who was president.  But starting with Obama,  I avoided the SOTU because it had come nothing more than political posturing and a big waste of time.

I really think he should take Pelosi's statement that she's going to "delay" the SOTU as a cancellation of any address before the House. 

Make firm arrangements to give the address elsewhere, and make it available by live feed to Congress.  Then send a transcript and DVD's to each member.

He also could ask McConnell if he can do his address in the Senate chambers, and any member of the House who wishes to observe can do so by television feed, or perhaps let any who wish to attend sit in the Senate Gallery.   Not a lot of room up there, but I suspect a lot of Democrats would love to make a statement by boycotting the address.

He should send Ipods pre-loaded with his speeches, like O'Bastard did with the Queen.

Yeah, I remember that. I wonder how long it took the queen to listen to all the speeches?

That was a joke, she probably didn’t give his speechifying a second thought before throwing the iPods in the back of her junk drawer.

Don't bother. Some folks will continue to flail at Trump and his supporters till the cows come home. It cannot be stopped.

Yes, and we are all enemies of the state and traitors too.  Pfffft!

Just can't stand to hear or read anything contrary to Trump.  Maybe because it's too close to the truth?

Maybe people don't fit nicely into either of the two proffered boxes?   All-in-for-Trump is one box, the other is I-hate-everything-about-Trump.

I know you don't.  You are a great example of the fallacy of the two boxes.  In fact, I could count on one hand the occupants of those two, combined.  Nobody else fits.
