John,
Last night was Trump’s first speech to Congress of his second term. He spoke for 99 minutes (the longest one in history), but he had very little to show for it.
What I hoped—but didn’t expect—to hear yesterday was an affirmative vision for how President Trump will work to tackle families’ biggest challenges and make life more affordable.
Instead, what we got was deflection, distraction, and deception. He was more interested in finger pointing than in rolling up his sleeves. He spent more time talking about trans people than about bringing down prices. And, he lied about everything from climate change to Social Security.
To the extent there was real substance in the speech, his signature policies were imposing poorly thought-out tariffs (which will raise costs for families) and empowering Elon Musk (who is relentlessly attacking workers and recklessly dismantling our government).
We deserve leaders who actually, well, lead. That means seeing the real challenges Americans are facing, taking responsibility, and getting to work to deliver solutions.
Sadly, last night was yet another reminder that Donald Trump only looks out for himself.
