Excerpt:

Last night, President Donald Trump delivered his first joint address to Congress, an event that technically isn’t dubbed a “State of the Union” until a president’s second year in office. The evening was marked by Trump’s enthusiasm as he outlined his vision for America and took time to recognize key members of his administration, including Elon Musk, Pam Bondi, Linda McMahon, Kash Patel, Sean Duffy, and Marco Rubio, among others. His energy was palpable, setting an optimistic tone for the night. Despite the constant interruption from the peanut gallery leading to Democrat Rep. Al Green’s ejection from the speech.

One of the standout moments came when Trump introduced a 13-year-old boy named D.J. Daniel. Diagnosed with brain cancer in 2018 and given just five months to live, D.J. has defied the odds for over six years. His dream? To become a police officer. Alongside his father, D.J. has pursued that dream relentlessly, earning honorary titles from police departments who adore him. Trump, clearly moved, announced a special honor:

“Tonight, D.J., we’re going to do you the biggest honor of them all. I am asking our new Secret Service director, Sean Curran, to officially make you an agent of the United States Secret Service.”

In the wake of President Donald Trump’s first address to the joint session of Congress as 47th President of the United States, a new poll from CBS News and YouGov found that 76 percent of viewers approved of his speech.

The poll, conducted after Trump’s Tuesday night address, found that 76 percent of viewers approved of Trump’s address, while 23 percent disapproved.

CBS News noted that respondents to the survey skewed Republican, as “historically a president’s party draws more of their own partisans.” 51 percent of poll takers identified as Republicans, 27 percent identified as independents, and 20 percent identified as Democrats.

Viewers said the speech made them feel “hopeful,” with 68 percent responding as such. 54 percent of viewers also said that it made them feel “proud,” 27 percent said it made them feel “worried,” and 16 percent said it made them feel “angry.”

Trump was both “presidential” and “entertaining” during his speech, with 74 percent of viewers responding as such for each word. Viewers also said Trump was “inspiring,” with 71 percent responding as such, and 62 percent said that Trump was “unifying.” An additional 46 percent said that Trump was “divisive” during his speech.

The latest polls show that the American people support President Donald Trump’s plan for restoring America as the Democrats continue to oppose him on “one sensible policy after another.”

Two major post-speech polls indicate that most Americans approved of Trump’s address to a joint session of Congress on Tuesday night.

The findings reflect a positive reception for both his policy proposals and his leadership.

Meanwhile, they also highlight the disapproval of disruptive behavior from some Democrat lawmakers.

As Trump’s White House AI and cryptocurrency czar David Sacks pointed out, voters watched as “Democrats sat sullen-faced as President Trump described one sensible policy after another” during the address.

“Democrats took the 20% side of every 80/20 issue,” Sacks noted.

“I can find a cure to the most devastating disease, a disease that would wipe out entire nations, or announce the answers to the greatest economy in history,” he continued, “or the stoppage of crime to the lowest levels ever recorded and these people sitting right here will not clap, will not stand, and certainly will not cheer for these astronomical achievements.”

Trump, dating back to his first term in office, has appeared in front of Congress five times – and each time has been met with a frosty reception from Dems.

“It’s very sad,” the commander in chief said.

U.S. President Donald Trump was forced to weather numerous interruptions from his political opponents during his lengthy 100-minute joint address to Congress on Tuesday night.

Since taking office 44 days ago, Trump has doubled down on his promise to strip back diversity, equity and inclusion initiatives, has attempted to freeze government subsidies to major health care service providers such as Medicaid and moved to dismantle the Department of Education.

In addition, he has tried to halt funding to international aid programs such as USAID, has banned transgender troops from the military and slammed Canada, Mexico and China with sweeping tariffs, prompting a trade war that experts warn will likely result in widespread economic turmoil.

Trump began his speech by briefly addressing the newly instated levies.

“Tariffs will make America great again, and it’s happening and it will happen rather quickly,” he assured Congress, adding that there will be “a little disturbance,” at first.

Not enough words can be said about how epic Trump’s speech last night was, or how disgusting Democrats were with their childish displays of resistance and disruption. The left’s behavior was an embarrassment to our nation, and their antics fell flat with the American people who were watching.

Of course, our views here at PJ Media and other conservative outlets only mean so much. What’s really telling is what left-wing media had to say about the Democrats’ behavior — and it was brutal.

Even the most partisan liberal commentators couldn’t defend what we all witnessed. Over at MSNBC, in a remarkably candid exchange, Symone Sanders-Townsend and Michael Steele couldn’t hold back and legit gave honest assessments of Democrats’ strategic failures during Trump’s speech to Congress.

“The bingo signs were killing me. I don’t know who thought of the bingo signs, but they should be fired,” Steele declared bluntly during the panel discussion.
