On the brink of his Senate acquittal, U.S. President Donald Trump will be unleashing 'relentless optimism' during his third State of the Union address, a speech designed to pivot from his impeachment to his drive for reelection.
FILE - In this Feb. 5, 2019, file photo, U.S. President Donald Trump delivers his State of the Union address to a joint session of Congress on Capitol Hill in Washington, as Vice President Mike Pence and Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., watch. On the brink of his Senate acquittal, U.S. President Donald Trump will be unleashing "relentless optimism" during his third State of the Union address, a speech designed to pivot from his impeachment to his drive for reelection.
The extraordinary moment last October was captured in a now-famous photograph that Trump released and Pelosi slapped across the top of her Twitter page. At other times, she's questioned his "manhood" and he's called her "crazy." Watch them for any spark of civility. Pelosi and many Democratic women are expected to wear suffragette white to the speech.The White House said last week to look for "can-do optimism in the face of unjustified pessimism we are hearing from some in Congress."
The White House would not say whether it is modeling Trump's speech on President Bill Clinton's in 1999, amid his own impeachment trial. Clinton never mentioned the I-word. "Let it be said of us then that we were thinking not only of our time, but of their time; that we reached as high as our ideals. That we put aside our divisions and found a new hour of healing and hopefulness; that we joined together to serve and strengthen the land we love."Will Trump even mention Ukraine? Republicans have started to come out and agree that the president had "inappropriately" tried to get political help from that country while he held up military aid.
Under new rules, U.S. citizens who have travelled in China within the last 14 days will be re-routed to one of eight designated airports, where they will undergo enhanced health screening procedures.Trump is focused on re-introducing himself to Americans as a president who has made the country -- and voters' lives specifically -- better. So listen for any mention of foreign policy and national security issues.
