Trump’s bizarrely brilliant State of the Union speech

By John Podhoretz

It was perhaps the single most bananas political moment of the Trump presidency.

Newly elected Democratic women in the House of Representatives, dressed all in white, stood up and cheered while the very president they entered politics to oppose and defeat looked on approvingly.

He had just cited a statistic that 58 percent of the new jobs in America had gone to women. They immediately applied this stat to themselves, and in an act of almost staggering solipsism, leapt to their feet and began to celebrate their own elections.

Then Trump advised them to stay standing because they were going to like the next sentence — a sentence about how there were more women in Congress than ever before. To which they and their fellow Democrats began chanting “USA! USA!” — in the middle of a Trump speech! And the president looked down upon these people for whom the word “impeachment” is a mantra … and smiled.

No one had that in the betting pool.

It wasn't bizarre because of Trump; it was the dem women who were bizarre.

The only thing weird about that speech is that someone thought it to be weird!

Speaking of brilliant. I thought it was brilliant of Trump to go deliberately long on his SOTU speech.

Most people hit the sack at 11, so they would naturally be disinclined – after sitting through 2 hours of political talk, to stay up late to watch the post-speech media trashing, and a rebuttal by some no-name political loser spouting bumper sticker slogans and talking points.

Most folks were asleep during all the opposition noise. The last thing they will remember was a great presidential speech.

Seems you're on to something.   Never heard of a 'Prebuttal' for a SOTU message.   :laugh:

You're coming around, @DCPatriot.  I have frequently said positive things about Trump, you just seem to have not seen them.

Point taken. Only easterners needing beauty sleep missed the after-speech whine festival.
