Trump blasts Dems for never applauding him even if he cures ‘devastating’ disease, roasts Biden on failed prosecutions: ‘How’d that work out?’
President Trump complained there’s “absolutely nothing” he could do to get Democrats to applaud his addresses to Congress during his Tuesday&nb♊sp;night speech — and then lashed out at his predecessor Joe Biden for the Justice Department’s ℱcriminal prosecutions against him.
“This is my fifth such speech to Congress, and once again, I look at the Democrats in front of me, and I realize there is absolutely 🧜nothing I can say to make them happy or to make thꦆem stand or smile or applaud,” he said.
“I can find a cure to the most devastating disease, a disease that would wipe out entire nations, or announce the answers to the greatest economy in history,” he continued, “or the stoppage of crime to the lowest levels ever recorded and these peopl♎e sitting right here will not clap, will not stand, and certainly will not cheer for these astronomical 🐓achievements.”
Trump, dating back to his first term in office, has appeared i🐈n front of Congress five times – and each time has been met with a frosty reception from Dems.
“It’s very sad,” the commander in chief said.
“And it just shouldn’t be this way.”
Later in the speech, Trump referenced Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and again noted that the ♑Dems weren’t clapping for the Kennedy scion.
Trump also took aim at Biden for the DOJ’s two failed prosecutions against him – including a case accusing him of illegally retaining national secu🎐rity documents and seeking to reverse the 2020 election results.
“We’ve ended weaponized government where, as an example, a sitting president is allowed to viciously prosecute his political opponent like 🌊me,” Trump said before asking rhetorically, “How did that work out.”
The line led to a standing ov🐠ation from Republican lawmakers in the US Capitol.
The cases were brought by special prosecutor Jack Smith, but were dropped꧃ after he beat Vice President Kamala Harris last November.
Democrats didn’t just stay silenꦓt for Trump on Tuesday, they also held up signs against the 47th president including “Save Medicaid” and “Musk Steals,” in reference to Department of Government Efficie꧃ncy Elon Musk.
Liberal House Rep. Al Green, who represents the Houston area, was even booted after r💙epeatedly interrupting Trump’s speech at the start of the address as he waved his c꧙ane and shouted at🌄 the president.
Trump tried to speak over him, but the 77-year-old rabble rouse kept s🍎houting, “You don’t have a mandate,” in an apparent reference to a budget resolution that narrowly passed the House last week.
He was eventually booted by Sergཧ🌞eant-at-Arms at the request of House Speaker Mike Johnson.
A handful of Demo🦩crꦿats later left the House chamber on their own as Trump announced cost savings within the federal government.
