How to watch President Trump’s State of the Union address tonight

Melania Trump cancelled a planned trip to Davos with Trump in the wake of the reporting. “We will get to the bottom of this and I will take whatever action is called for”.

Jayapal and the 10 other lawmakers who have announced they will boycott Trump’s speech Tuesday night cited the president’s caustic and often controversial rhetoric – especially with regard to race – as the primary reason for their no-show.

Seeking to set the tone for their election-year strategy, party leaders have tapped Massachusetts Rep. Joe Kennedy, the grandson of Robert F. Kennedy, to deliver a post-speech rebuttal aimed at casting Democrats, not Trump, as champions of the middle class.

Moore said Trump must be removed from office as a “moral imperative”, while Leguizamo drew a parallel between the Nazis’ approval ratings in Germany in the 1930s and Trump’s.

A large bloc of House Democrats boycotted the President’s first joint address to Congress a year ago.

Clinton, however, kept his focus on the “longest peacetime economic expansion in our history” and on his plan to protect Social Security.

While politicians couldn’t help making a few jokes at the expense of the president – whose misspellings, particularly his “covfefe” tweet have become legendary – the White House is apparently not responsible for the error.

“It should be an effective organising tool for your whole administration”.
