2026 State of the Union

[Anonymous]

Sure to be a shit show. He needs to throw a Hail Mary. But with Epstein, Israel First, ICE, inflation, and 100 other things, any prediction on when he will go off the rails? One of these times, he's sure to have a stroke on stage.

It would be hilarious if he went full Kim Jong Un and started calling his administration people up, started blaming them, and then arrested all of them.

Daily Beast: Insiders Admit Trump May Have Killed Presidency in Just a Year
https://www.thedailybeast.com/insiders-admit-trump-may-have-killed-presidency-in-just-a-year/?rand=61

A former Trump official is warning the president could be in trouble if he doesn’t nail his State of the Union speech.

The unnamed ex-official, with insider knowledge of Tuesday’s speech, said it will be typically firebrand—but admitted that the administration knows that it is on the back foot after a series of public flops.

“It’s an offensive speech, but the backdrop of it all is that they’ve been in a defensive posture for several weeks now,” they told Politico.

As 2025 bled into 2026, Trump appeared to have abandoned the “America First” issues that led him to the White House. Indeed, this week, his administration continues to pummel suspected drug boats in the Caribbean and mull over an offensive in Iran. All of this has weakened his footing compared to a year ago, with the midterms in November looking less and less appealing for the Republican Party.

“We were 1,000 percent on offense a year ago,” the former official recalled. “We felt like we were firing on all cylinders. And early on, we didn’t have many points for scrutiny. Now, a year in, there is a record to kind of hang the president on. That makes this much more challenging.”

It could get worse if Trump goes off-script and fails to hammer the messaging that the nation wants to hear.

I'm not watching. I'll read about it tomorrow. I can't stand looking or listening to him.

Delivery: I expect that he will speak better than for his usual speeches, because I don't think he's so far gone that he can't understand this is an unmissable opportunity. He's been preparing since this weekend. He will have a cocktail of substances to keep him more alert than usual.

Content: it will of course be full of lies and projections.

Is this Dan Bongo-Bro-Boy? Kash's former assistant lapdog?

Will there be a "Radical Left" counter? What's the over-under on Biden Blames?

I think it’s going to be the longest one ever.

An unnamed ex-official told you what you wanted to hear? I see.

The "Radical Left" response will be given by Abigail Spanberger. I'm wondering how long it will be before he starts blaming Obama for everything. Especially since a recent poll showed him less popular than Obama by a large margin.

He will continue to be the inappropriate, punitive, mysogynist toddler that he's always been. Maybe he'll tell us again how great his daughter Tiffany's breasts are or how he and Ivanka both like sex. Or, maybe he'll stroke out. I can tell you one thing: I won't be watching that orange fascist.

Not necessarily. He's been preparing for several days, and his team is very focused on having him appear as non-demented as possible.

I’m looking forward to seeing the U.S. Hockey Team.

No doubt he won't say much about the accomplishment of the team, instead he will focus on how it is proof positive that his policies are making America great again.

Counter. Like a number at the bottom of the screen that counts the number of times he blames the radical left.
