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.

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.

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.
