Summary

Donald Trump's record-long State of the Union address got about as low of marks as possible from MS NOW’s Jonathan Lemire who claimed he couldn’t see it changing one person’s mind about the president’s disastrous second term -- according to recent polls.Worse still, he added, the entire speech was a boring drag. With the entire “Morning Joe” panel pouncing on Trump’s “serial lying,” Lemire claimed he heard nothing that he didn’t hear from the president’s rambling, almost daily, Oval Office appearances.After observing, “Last night was President Trump's biggest audience he will see all year, a national audience. Millions of people watched and he came into last night reeling,” he added, “I can't imagine he changed a single mind last night. I can't imagine he won over a single voter last night and that's bad for the Republicans who will be on the ballot this November who have to defend his policies.”“And I was also just struck, frankly, it's pretty boring,” he reported. “Yes, it had a couple nice moments of patriotism; he saluted the men's [Olympic] hockey team. He singled out a few Americans who deserve to be recognized for their heroism at home or abroad. But it felt like a campaign speech. It felt like more of the same.”“Like, yes, he was loud. Yes, he, you know, was animated. I don't know, though that it's going to change the trajectory of his presidency one bit,” he predicted. - YouTube youtu.be
