Tonight is the first State of the Union address for Donald Trump. The U.S. Constitution gives the President the unction to have such speeches:

The President “shall from time to time give to the Congress Information of the State of the Union, and recommend to their Consideration such measures as he shall judge necessary and expedient.” Article II, Section 3, Clause 1.

Though, it’s been known by other names. It began to be informally called the “state of the Union” message from 1942 to 1946 and officially called by that title ever since. Including President Barack H. Obama’s 2017 address, there have been a total of 95 in-person State of the Union Addresses.

Americans look forward to hearing the State of the Union, ideally from a comfortable couch with a large grain of salt. They are skeptical of the empty rhetoric that they usually hear during these long speeches—and who can blame them?

But President Trump has already kept some of his key campaign promises–imagine that!–so there’s a good chance that his speech will be more substantive than most. That’s why the grassroots is eager to hear what the President has to say about the Economy, immigration, and infrastructure.

Please click here to see my piece on CNS news to read about why I think the American grassroots will actually tune in tonight to hear what the President has to say on those issues.

As I concluded in the piece, “Sure, it’s just another political speech, but in one year Trump has already delivered on critical campaign issues. For the first time in a long time, we have a president who has shown he won’t use the SOTU as a ceremony of empty promises.”
