How Trump will use his State of the Union address to sell skeptical midterm voters on his plans

[Dulcinea]

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump’s State of the Union address on Tuesday is likely to be a test run of the message Republicans will give to voters in November’s elections for control of the House and the Senate.

The president and his party appear vulnerable, with polls showing much of America distrusts how Trump has managed the government in his first year back in office. In addition, the Supreme Court last week struck down one of the chief levers of his economic and foreign policy by ruling he lacked the power to impose many of his sweeping tariffs.

Though Trump is expected to focus on domestic issues, his intensifying threats about launching military strikes on Iran over its nuclear program cast a shadow over the address.

2. Still trying to convince a skeptical nation that Iran is our "enemy"

Iran is no more of an enemy to the US than Venezuela, or Greenland, or Mexico. This is another silly distraction. It's made-up lies, trying to create strawmen everywhere. All intended to distract us from the Epstein investigation.

but this is just netanyahu using the evangelical idiots to stir trouble.

10. It's not our place to decide who rules any other country

We have enough problems as it is, and God knows we can no longer take the high road on anything.
