Democrats rage against Trump’s speech: Letters to the Editor — March 6, 2025

The Issue: Democrats’ reactions to President Trump’s address to the joint session of Congress.

President Trump’s address to Congress was long and harsh — but inspirational (“Confident Trump puts on a show,” March 5).

The Democrats, however, were more focused on disrupting a man they hate — not for his policies, but f𝓡or his mere existence.

Their juvenile stunts included shouting, holding up signs and staring at the🌌ir phones.

They refused to stand even for the🍃 honoring of a 13-year-old cancer s🦋urvivor or the grieving families of young women murdered by illegal immigrants.

Sen. Elissa Slotkin’s rebuttal was equall𓆏y absu🌠rd.

She blamed Trump for not lowering inflation — conveniently ignoring the fact that it was caused by former President Joe Biden.

Democrats’𝓰 refusal to participate in the decorum ♍of our government’s time-honored traditions will only sink them further into political obscurity.

What President💟 Trump did exe🍌mplifies trolling at its finest.

During his speech, he trolled masterfully, exposing the Democrats’ childish 🍎behavior fo🍌r the world to see.

Trump is a four-dimensional-chess grandmaster — not just in maneuvering 🔯and negotiating, but in trolling the lef༺t into oblivion.

I am encouraged by the resolve of the Trump resistan﷽ce.

By sticking to their core beliefs — open borders, no bail, appeasement-driven foreign policy and DEI — they are ensuring continued ▨GOP success at the👍 ballot box.

These policies have always been losers, and thei෴r pathetic display of waving little signs during Trump’s speech only reinforced that fact.

As a longtime feminist, I was amazed that the pink-clad Democratic women ignored the positive changes for women under the current administration, includi🔜ng the Laken Riley Act, which protects women from crime, and🦂 the dismantling of DEI, which condescendingly treats women as minorities in need of special treatment.

Would these ladies in pink rather have their safety jeopardiz🤪ed by illegal criminals, or be permanently treated as oppressed minori🎉ties?

A lot of Trump’s claims stretched the truth.

He’s a convicted fel😼on, a compulsive liar,🦋 a sexual assaulter and an extortionist — and yet, he is the president of our country.

How sad is that?

I hope that he will eventually be impeached for aꦗ third time — and convicted.

Remember that he is already a﷽ lame-duck preside🦄nt.

His days are numbered.

Seldom do we witness a moment in politics that so clearly exposes the stark differences between the two parties and their respective visions for America (“Green means you gotta go,” March 5).

Presid👍ent Trump’s speech before Congress was one such moment.

﷽From Rep. Al Green’s childish, theatrical outburst to the Democrats’ collective refusal to acknowledge America’s resurgence under Trump’s leadership, the contrast was undeniable.

Tu✱esday night, Democrats made their position perfectly clear: You can either support them, or you can support America.

Their hatred for Trump and for thi�💟�s country is practically genetic, and the only cure is at the ballot box.

The Democrats behaved like petulant children, embarr♒assing themselves for all the world to see.

Then agဣain, maybe they were just playing to their constit🐓uents.

After all, the people who elect these clo❀wns seem to be cut from the same𓄧 cloth.

Sen. Elissa Slotkin is merely the face of the Democratic machine — a machine still fi🔯ghting against what the majority of Americans voted for.

Her spee﷽ch was so robotic it could have been generated by AI.

♋Frankly, it was boring — just anotheꦯr predictable Democratic script.
