Trump Unleashes On ‘Crazy’ Dems in SOTU Smackdown
Apparently the best way to counter Trump’s State of the Union speech is to cosplay as Kermit’s deranged cousins

President Donald J. Trump turned the House chamber into his personal coliseum Tuesday night, delivering the longest State of the Union address in American history — a blistering 1 hour and 48 minutes of victory laps and zero mercy for the jackass party.
Trump declared a “turnaround for the ages,” ticking off a roaring economy, plunging inflation, cheaper gas, a skyrocketing stock market, and what he called “the strongest and most secure border in American history, by far.” He recognized USA Olympic hockey champs, saluted troops, and invited angel families shattered by illegal-alien crime—the kind of guests Democrats usually ignore.
Today, some Democrats in Congress are planning to bring illegal aliens as guests to the State of the Union. Once again, they are putting illegal aliens above the safety of American citizens.

As a symbol of their ongoing “resistance,” Democrats reportedly invited illegal aliens to the chamber and Rep. Judy Chu (CA) invited a constituent who couldn’t afford the Democrats’ signature legislation: Obamacare.
But the real fireworks came when Trump dropped a truth-bomb on immigration — and the Democrats showed exactly who they are.
“The first duty of the American government is to protect American citizens, not illegal aliens,” Trump stated, then dropped the mic: “If you agree with this statement, then stand up and show your support.”
Republicans leapt to their feet in an ovation that lasted minutes. Democrats? They sat stone-faced, arms folded, some even heckling. Rep. Ilhan Omar reportedly screamed “You killed Americans!”
Trump didn’t miss a beat. “You should be ashamed of yourself. You should be ashamed of yourself, not standing up,” he repeated, staring straight at the sulking side of the aisle. Then he unleashed the viral line: “These people are crazy. I’m telling you, they’re crazy.”
“Democrats are destroying our country, but we’ve stopped it just in the nick of time.” The Democrats looked like they’d swallowed a lemon the size of California’s budget deficit.
While Trump was busy owning the room, the “resistance” staged what they laughably called the “real” State of the Union — or, as the cool kids with Defiance.org dubbed it, the “State of the Swamp.”
Over at the National Press Club, a motley crew of lawmakers, activists, and what appeared to be escapees from a bad children’s birthday party held court. The highlight?
Grown adults in inflatable frog costumes hopping around, chirping “ribbit” like it was performance art. Frog swag was everywhere. Because apparently the best way to counter Trump’s State of the Union speech is to cosplay as Kermit’s deranged cousins.
And just when you thought it couldn’t get weirder: a man in a full giraffe costume armed with a harmonica took the mic to brag that he’d been arrested by ICE. He was apparently the star of the “giraffe rebellion,” ranting about “Pumpkin Spice Satan” (your guess is as good as mine). Robert De Niro popped up somewhere in the hot mess too, because why not?
POTUS: “these people are crazy.”

Virginia Gov. Abigail Spanberger delivered the official Democratic rebuttal with all the enthusiasm of someone reading her own obituary: “In his speech tonight, the President did what he always does: He lied, he scapegoated, he distracted… and he offered no real solutions to the pressing challenges he himself is actively making worse.” (Translation: “Please don’t notice we have no plan.”)
California’s own delegation was predictably in on the clown show — because Sacramento Democrats have been putting illegal aliens over American citizens for years now.
In Spanish, Sen. Alex Padilla predictably accused Trump of lying on immigration while conveniently forgetting California’s own exploding crime stats tied to sanctuary policies.
Trump’s message was crystal clear: the era of putting foreign criminals, gender ideology, and open borders ahead of U.S. citizens is over. The Democrats’ refusal to stand wasn’t just awkward — it was a revealing snapshot of a party that’s lost the plot.
And while Democrats were busy playing dress-up with frogs and giraffes, the rest of America got the memo: Trump’s back, the border’s secure, the economy’s humming, and the crazy train has officially been derailed.

Great summary of what happened last night Megan. He made total fools out of these bozos. He actually embarrassed them into half-ass clapping and half-hearted standing but it didnt work. Trump has known what these people are and has put up with 10 years of the worst abuse from these communists and is still beating them on every front. Greatest POTUS ever.
MAGNIFICENT State of the Union address from President Trump.
Dripping with truth and righteous call-outs of the miserable, destructive Dems.
Also featuring the BEST of our country on display. Wonderful.
Could have watched it again immediately afterwards. But highlights and a post-op the day after have been doing the trick.
(Frog and giraffe costumes at the National Press Club? OMG these people are so nuts. Wouldn’t you think they’d be able to manage staying away from the furry stuff for at least ONE DAY? But they can’t, can they.)
