Trump had his Adderall sniffles again, and a bored Nancy Pelosi sought refuge in reading his speech transcript. Twitter, as usual, was all over it:
Fascinating way to watch #SOTU: live dial-testing reactions from African-Americans, Latinx, white millennials, white unmarried women and white working-class women, brought to you by @VoterCenter & partners: https://t.co/4wCJwZ3nbi

Trump made no mention of the families facing hardship as a results of the #TrumpShutdown. It was clear then and is clear now that he *does not* care who gets hurt for his political stunts. #SOTU
Clearly, he's still "proud" of this. pic.twitter.com/BtU0d4tDiK— Nancy Pelosi (@TeamPelosi) February 6, 2019
Pelosi is biting the inside of her cheek. Jared is a smug Victorian ghost child.

Does Trump *really* believe this? “If I had not been elected President of the United States, we would right now, in my opinion, be in a major war with North Korea with potentially millions of people killed."

That is a straight-up lie about El Paso, which was one of America’s safest large cities for violent crime before the fencing was erected and did not immediately see crime fall after the fence was built.
