Trump continues to live rent free in their heads
The Democrats fell head first into another trap set up by a master trapper.

Watching President Trump’s SOTU speech, I am reminded of that one about living rent free in your opponent’s head. According to a little research, the phrase comes from Ann Landers: “Hanging onto resentment is letting someone you despise live rent-free in your head.”
Miss Landers didn’t realize that we’d be talking about it today. We can say that living rent free is just one more symptom of Trump Derangement Syndrome.
During the speech, President Trump kept giving Democrats an opportunity to liberate themselves from their “problem.” But they would not stand up and cheer for obvious things, such as applauding a victim’s mom. Incredible but that’s what TDS will do to you.
As Sasha Stone points out, he gave them a fat pitch to hit out of the park. But they can’t do it. This is her post:
By now, the video has gone viral with Trump asking a simple question:
‘If you agree with this statement, then stand up and show your support. The first duty of the American government is to protect American citizens, not illegal immigrants.’
With great timing and a gift for performance and storytelling, Trump pauses and lets the applause grow. He luxuriated in the moment as the Democrats sat there, stone-faced, thinking it would play well at MS-Now. It probably will. Trump wanted all of America to see it and remember it. He set a trap. They walked right into it.
‘You should be ashamed,’ he said. Probably, he also knew it would agitate the Reps. Ilhan Omar and Rashida Tlaib, and it did. They screamed back at him, ‘YOU should be ashamed!’ Yet another viral moment for a president who is really good at TV.
Trump embarrassed the Democrats again by paying tribute to a mother who rescued her daughter from the gender cult, and when the Democrats didn’t stand for that, Trump said, ‘These people are crazy.’ Another viral moment that will live in infamy.
Well, crazy for sure, and definitely a moment that will live in everlasting infamy.
