Although it doesn&#8217;t have to be delivered live or in a speech, it has become a traditional affair since first being broadcast on television live in primetime by Lyndon B. Johnson in 1965. Now 60 years later, Trump is planning to diminish its significance further with the help of his Ministry of Propaganda, Fox News.<\/p>\n<p><strong>SEE THIS: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/ncWP\/?p=68900\" target=\"_blank\">Fox News is TERRIFIED of How Awful Trump is Doing Prior to His State of the Union Lie Fest<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The SOTU is supposed to be a dissertation on the current welfare of the nation. Presidents are expected to give an honest appraisal of the country&#8217;s condition on matters of importance both domestically and internationally. However, Trump will have difficulty with that objective considering that it requires being honest, something that he is congenitally incapable of.<\/p>\n<p>The pre-speech comments by Trump reveal that he actually has no idea what the SOTU is intended for. He thinks that it&#8217;s just another platform for him to spew self-serving lies to exalt himself and malign his political foes. He deliberately lied to reporters on Monday saying that&#8230;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;We have the greatest economy we\u2019ve ever had. We have the most activity we\u2019ve ever had. I\u2019m making a speech tomorrow night, and you\u2019ll be hearing me say that. It\u2019s going to be a long speech because we have so much to talk about.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>So Trump has no intention of telling the truth about the State of the Union. He is promising instead to ramble on interminably about how magnificent he is, and all of the wonderful, albeit imaginary, things that he&#8217;s done. Never mind that reality vehemently contradicts him. The country is still suffering from high inflation that is mainly due to his idiotic tariffs. His ICE agents are terrorizing American citizens along with law-abiding immigrants. We are threatening war against foreign nations without any rational cause. All of which has contributed to his historically abysmal approval ratings.<\/p>\n<div class=\"embed-twitter\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Trump hits a new low &#8211; 60% disapprove! &#8211; as he&#39;s about to deliver his State of Union address.<\/p>\n<p>Expect it to be filled with anger and lies and sweaty desperation.<a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/3TLIkEd5Lv\">https:\/\/t.co\/3TLIkEd5Lv<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; News Corpse (@NewsCorpse) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/NewsCorpse\/status\/2025895926079123729?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">February 23, 2026<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/div>\n<p>By pontificating on what he believes are his glorious accomplishments, Trump is actually just reminding everyone about what a pitiful failure he is. The people know how much their groceries cost, and how much they are paying for other necessities, including housing and healthcare. No amount of gaslighting by Trump will persuade any but his most brainwashed cult devotees that we are living in a Trumpian utopia.<\/p>\n<p>Nevertheless, the Trump regime is dead set on trying to convince the American people that everything is just hunky dory. Which is why Trump&#8217;s Propaganda Secretary, Karoline Leavitt, was out Tuesday morning previewing the lies that Trump plans to disseminate in his speech tonight.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;He\u2019ll be sharing these stories again of everyday Americans who are directly benefiting from his policies, and making a few new policy announcements as well as to continue tackling the affordability crisis that Joe Biden created one year ago, And the president will be talking about the positive metrics we have seen and moving forward towards making life again more affordable and prosperous for all Americans.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<blockquote class=\"bluesky-embed\" data-bluesky-uri=\"at:\/\/did:plc:4llrhdclvdlmmynkwsmg5tdc\/app.bsky.feed.post\/3mfmaj6yzn62v\" data-bluesky-cid=\"bafyreifkizoetefwqm2kjgzgxcolrovjph7nxtexcpwcdze7ff252iyddi\">\n<p lang=\"en\">Karoline Leavitt: &#34;The president will be making a few new policy announcements to continue tackling the affordability crisis that Joe Biden created one year ago.&#34; (Joe Biden was no longer president one year ago.)<\/p>\n<p>&mdash; <a href=\"https:\/\/bsky.app\/profile\/did:plc:4llrhdclvdlmmynkwsmg5tdc?ref_src=embed\">Aaron Rupar (@atrupar.com)<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/bsky.app\/profile\/did:plc:4llrhdclvdlmmynkwsmg5tdc\/post\/3mfmaj6yzn62v?ref_src=embed\">2026-02-24T13:10:58.592Z<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/embed.bsky.app\/static\/embed.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>Just like Trump, Leavitt is squarely focused on delivering a speech that celebrates Trump and his fantasies of fabulousness. She even slips in a slam on President Biden, who could not have created an affordability crisis a year ago because he was not president then. Also, didn&#8217;t Trump say that the whole <em>&#8220;affordability&#8221;<\/em> thing was a hoax?<\/p>\n<p>The SOTU promises to be another lengthy harangue by Trump that wouldn&#8217;t pass for plausible fiction. However, it may offer some drama. While he has said that he&#8217;s inviting MAGA-tized guests like Erika Kirk (Charlie&#8217;s widow), Democrats will be attending with some Epstein\/Trump survivors, and victims of his ICE thugs. So will have to face some of those who he hurt the most.<\/p>\n<p>While Trump will be pitching a preposterously rosy scenario, it&#8217;s safe to assume that he won&#8217;t be mentioning at all some of the critical issues that the American people really care about. Such as the current government shutdown, his inflationary tariffs, his loss at the Supreme Court, his impending war with Iran, his obstructing the release of the Trump-Epstein files, or so many other matters that he&#8217;s anxious to suppress because they reflect negatively (i.e. realistically) on him.<\/p>\n<p>If Trump thinks that this address is going to reverse his sinking popularity, he&#8217;s going to be sorely disappointed. And that disappointment will likely trigger even more raving madness from Trump. So fasten your seats belts. It&#8217;s gonna be a bumpy ride.
