TRUMP TO CALL FOR UNITY - DURING A STATE OF DISUNITY: During his State of the Union address tonight, President Trump is expected to take on a role his fiercest critics say he is most unfamiliar with: Uniter-in-Chief. And Trump is expected to call for unity and stress optimism when he addresses Congress and the nation during his second State of the Union address ... But given the bitter partisan battle with Democrats, especially House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, over the border wall and another looming government shutdown, the question is whether Democrats will be receptive -- or at least give the appearance of decorum.
Will they applaud or will they sit on their hands. What will Pelosi's expression be, as a nation observes her, in the background, over Trump's left shoulder, when he condemns "resistance and retribution politics" and makes his argument for strong border security via his wall? This is the drama that faces President Trump's State of the Union address.
Some Democrats, with their selection of State of the Union guests, have already signaled that reconciliation will not be on their agenda. In addition, the president is expected to showcase a growing economy. Despite the shutdown, the U.S. economy added a robust 304,000 jobs in January, marking 100 straight months of job growth. Trump and his top aides have also hinted that he is likely to use the address to announce a major milestone in the fight against the Islamic State group in Syria.
