Al Jazeera English Trump’s SOTU address sparks political divide: Democrat strategist responds

Democratic strategist Christian Ramos critiques President Donald Trump’s State of the Union address, describing it as incoherent and tone-deaf amid rising economic discontent. Ramos highlights new CBS polling showing 57% of Americans view Trump’s economy as bad, whilst 53% believe the country is worse off than a year ago. He argues Trump offered no concrete solutions on housing or healthcare, and that Republican immigration policies—including threats to deploy ICE agents at polling stations—have become wildly unpopular, even amongst Hispanic voters who previously supported the president. Ramos also questions the rationale behind potential military action against Iran, warning Trump risks starting new conflicts despite campaigning on ending wars.
