It’s the day after President Biden’s successful State of the Union address, and Donald Trump continues to fall apart.
Trump posted on Truth Social:
Biden’s speech last night is going around the world. Only the crazies on the radical left are trying to make the best of it. It took him 41 minutes to speak briefly about Immigration and Border Protection, a topic on which he was very weak. There is no mention of a weapon against his very calm and pleasant opponent. Angry as hell, this guy is a PSYCHO!
It’s been almost a day and Donald Trump is still upset that President Biden had a successful SOTU speech.

The media has tried to diminish the value and power of the incumbent president in the Biden/Trump rematch, but the State of the Union has given Biden something that Donald Trump will not have in 2024. The SOTU has given Biden a national platform where he could have given a speech with the nation watching.
Donald Trump can only get national television coverage when he appears in court as a defendant. Again, he does not get network coverage, nor do any cable news networks broadcast his observations of him.
The presidency’s platform and ability to drive national media coverage is one of the major advantages Biden enjoys as an incumbent president.
Trump’s campaign and party are struggling to raise money. Even though Biden has a sizable campaign war chest, Trump will not be able to use advertising to change the narrative.
The former president seemed to believe the polls and acted as if the election was over, but what he didn’t understand was that the campaign had just begun.
