Quite literally every single line of this State of the Union is a lie and/or has a factual error. The other sentences are not just political bluster, they are propaganda.

I am deeply curious who the intersection of the "Watches an hour-long political speech"-"politically obtuse enough to take this speech at face value" Venn diagram is
Every headline in every news outlet needs to point out that this speech is full of lies. Not falsehoods or 'bias' - no. This entire address is a fraud perpetrated on 350 million Americans.
Truly amazing that as he is naming all these USAID projects he has no context, no proper understanding of the numbers, and is naming all the places where the US has now lost not just goodwill but also soft power to Russia and China. How no one on his team has pointed to the latter is insane.
Every single word of this social security section is out of context or a lie or can be attributed to a DOGE error. SSA is not perfect but an attack on the only thing keeping millions of Americans alive and housed should be considered an act of civil war.
If you're wondering who would both watch this whole speech and also believe it, that doesn't matter. Trump is incredibly good at sound bites and always has been. The majority of Americans catch this speech in snippets online the next day.
