  1. Not watching it but i quit watching him awhile ago it just angers me to watch a president lie non stop.

  2. If I wanted to be lied to for two hours, there are several things I could do that would be heavily preferred over that nonsense speech.

  3. Yeah, I would watch the state of the union but my toilet needs cleaning. I’m pretty sure that’s more important.

    Journalists get paid to listen to BS like this. If he were to accidentally say something significant, they would tell us.

    I don’t understand why it is fine for the repubs to stand and cheer and chant but the Dems are supposed to sit there and take it silently.

    Why can’t they stand up and boo? Only cheering allowed?

    I guess he hasn’t been watching the stock ticker lately. Even business isn’t going swimmingly. Trump has found a way to turn gold into shit.

    I have Trump falls asleep delivering a speech on my 2026 Bingo Card. I have to see if I win.

    It’s embarrassing to watch hundreds of grown men stand and applaud every few minutes after every lie this dumb dumb says.

  9. Way ahead of you, Guardian. I actively skip any clips of him talking in videos because he just bothers me so damn much.

    I’ve never watched one of Trump’s addresses. That would be masochistic and I avoid harming myself.

    I’ll watch the Democratic response, which better not be anything less than “We are impeaching Donald Trump and we know we should have done it sooner and we apologize for that.”

  12. I ain’t watching this fucking dumbass humiliate himself as he celebrates the destruction he brought upon my country.

  13. Like I’m going to willingly watch some geriatric child rapist try to form a coherent thought on live TV during my free time.

  14. Why would anyone want to listen to a pedophile with dementia ramble on about how great he thinks he is?

  15. I think if you refuse to watch the state of the union you should try to watch my Governor Abigail Spanberger give the democratic response after. She is a rising star in the party and a good speaker.
