Trump’s Congressional Address Polls Bigly While Dems Flail and Fail

Is it time to retire the donkey and make an angry old man waving a cane the Democratic Party’s new symbol? Such a display, of course, was precisely what got Representative Al Green (D-Texas) expelled from President Donald Trump’s address to Congress on Tuesday. It well reflects the Democrats’ general antics last night, too, behavior which went over like a lead balloon.

Meanwhile, Trump soared like an eagle, with most Americans giving his speech a resounding thumbs-up.

Yet it wasn’t just John Q. Public who noted that Trump sailed while his opposition failed. Democratic campaign consultant Doug Schoen likened Trump’s speech to, respectively, JFK’s and Ronald Reagan’s historic 1961 and 1980 inaugural addresses. In contrast, he writes, his Democrats don’t have “any answers at all” and have “become trivial and almost irrelevant.”

Senator John Fetterman (D-Pa.) was also disappointed in his party. He called the Democrats’ behavior a “sad cavalcade of self owns and unhinged petulance” on social platform X Wednesday. “It only makes Trump look more presidential and restrained.”

“We’re becoming the metaphorical car alarms that nobody pays attention to,” he continued. Fetterman then added, in what could be the understatement of the month, that “it may not be the winning message.”
