We've had 2 rounds of chanting "USA, USA" after Trump announced the creation of a utopian civilization in just a year.

🌒@EastCalling

Are they going to have to stand up and applaud after every sentence? This is going to be a long night...

🌒@EastCalling

In most states, gas is below $2.30 a gallon? Not in Florida...

🌒@EastCalling

A lot of things that are "technically true, but" like the fact that "more Americans are working than ever before." Yes, the population tends to go up over time...

Same for increased oil and gas production.

He also bragged about stealing oil from Venezuela...

🌒@EastCalling

Technically unemployment is up a bit since Trump took office. But really, it's a long term business cycle. Not really because of Trump.

🌒@EastCalling

Trump shouts that the Democrats across the board voted against his tax cuts. The Democrats in the house stood up and applauded when he said this.

🌒@EastCalling

Debt as a percentage of GDP as a result of Trump's tax cuts under possible future scenarios.

🌒@EastCalling

Deficit as a percentage of GDP under Trump Tax cuts scenarios (one big beautiful bill).

🌒@EastCalling

Trump warns that he will continue his tariff policy under different laws after the Supreme Court struck down his existing tariffs. He also warns countries against thinking trade relationships will return to normal. The Supreme Court was right in front of him when he said this.

🌒@EastCalling

Trump blames Democrats for the inflation under Covid and declares their statements regarding inflation to be "blatant lies."

🌒@EastCalling

Trump looks right at Democrats and says that high medical costs were "because of you!"

🌒@EastCalling

The Democrats are mostly sitting and looking defeated.

🌒@EastCalling

Trump says he will pass a bill requiring new AI data centers to be built along with new energy production facilities so as not to cause energy prices to rise for consumers.

🌒@EastCalling

Trump says he will pass legislation to give regular Americans the same retirement benefits as federal workers, matching up to $1000 dollars annually in personal contributions and will ban congressman from profiting from insider trading.

Even Elizabeth Warren clapped for that one.

🌒@EastCalling

Trump refers to "Somalian fraud" in Minnesota and even used the phrase "Somali pirates" when referring to them.

🌒@EastCalling

He seems to be focusing on domestic issues, which is what we all wish he did more of. Support for war in Iran, for example is below 20%

🌒@EastCalling

I will say, it isn't a good look for the Democrats who are sitting there with the demeanor of a child being scolded while Trump degrades them to their faces.

He's shouting at them that they should be ashamed of themselves for their immigration policy.

🌒@EastCalling

Trump is finally getting to foreign policy. He's repeating the lie that he "ended 8 wars."

🌒@EastCalling

So far, Trump's only comment on the conflict in Ukraine was to say that "25k soldiers are dying every month," and that, "it never would have happened if I had been president."

He then turned to Iran. Republicans are now applauding the assassination of Qasem Soleimani...

🌒@EastCalling

Trump is now slandering the Iranian government, accusing them of instigating terrorism. Projection?

He says he will not agree to peace with Iran until they guarantee they will never have a nuclear weapon.

🌒@EastCalling

The only other statement about Ukraine thus far is that Europe is now paying the US for aid to the country.

So far, the entire conflict has been barely mentioned as an afterthought, with no mention whatsoever about the negotiations between Russia, Ukraine, and the United States.
