President Trump Delivers State of the Union, Murphy Issues Democratic Response
Yesterday night, President Donald Trump, recently impeached by the House of Representatives, delivered a defiant State of the Union address. Although he did not dwell on the recent developments for too long, he declared that he did not understand why he was being impeached, claiming that he was "The greatest President of all time".
Beyond that brief response, the President pushed for certain legislation to be pushed in the upcoming week, including ending military sexual assault, halting illegal immigration and bringing a stop to the problem of mass shootings by arming more teachers. Most surprisingly, Trump called for the passage of the DREAM act, which would change the name of the Washington Monument to the Trump Monument.
The President also made headlines by sticking a sticker that read "thoughts and prayers don’t stop gun violence" on the bottom of his shoe.
After Trump's speech, Senator Chris Murphy (D--CT) delivered an aggressive response to the President. Murphy's speech focused on many of the same issues, but offered highly contrasting solutions.
In a rare display of bipartisanship, both men expressed support for the proposed SAVIOR act that intends to deal with the opioid crisis currently plaguing the country.
