Speakers aren't identified, so a voice in it may not be his: > Last night, Trump outsmarted all of his political opponents with this single move. "One of the great things about the State of the Union is how it gives Americans the chance to see clearly what their representatives really believe." I love that the camera is on this guy because this summarizes the entire dynamic. You see him perk up like, "Oh, wait a minute, oh no, is this really about to happen?" Yes, it is. He's embracing the concept of "show, don't tell." At the last State of the Union, they realized this worked really well, so they just fine-tuned it and amped it up. He begins by setting the stage. Because we finally have a president who puts America first, who put America first. He then introduces a policy change that Congress is not going to be able to engage in insider trading anymore. This forces them to concede. They stood up for that, I can't believe. I can't believe it. Did Nancy Pelosi stand up if she was here? Doubt it. She then doubles down on "show, don't tell" by using example, after example, after example. Delilah Colvin was only five years old in June. Elizabeth Medina was supposed to perform in her town's Christmas parade. His opponents will claim, "These are just anecdotes, yes, but they're anecdotes that could have been prevented, and there's no denying that. These things happened. Their family is there in the room." He already knows they're not going to stand, but he then begins to bait them in just to ensure the outcome. And it is the American people who pay the price and hire medical bills, car insurance rates, rent taxes, and perhaps most importantly, crime. We will take care of this problem. We're going to take care of this problem. We are not playing games. Now the stage is set. He moves in for the kill. I've never seen anything like this in a state of the union. One of the great things about the state of the union is how it gives Americans the chance to see clearly what their representatives really believe. So tonight I'm inviting every legislator to join with my administration in reaffirming a fundamental principle. He's so nervous. He's literally biting his fingernails. If you agree with this statement, then stand up and show your support. The first duty of the American government is to protect American citizens, not illegal aliens. Would anyone deny that? Regardless of how you feel about Trump, rather than pointing out, they're not standing up. He's requesting that they stand up to show support for something Now he waits and lets it sink in. It's difficult to believe that half of the government could be so stupid to allow themselves to fall into this trap. A lot of thought went into how to phrase the wording of this. It was designed to trap them, and it did. It was worded perfectly. I mean, you just look how long this went on for. I wish the cameras had focused on their faces more. We get a few examples here, and you can just imagine the people at home. ## Media - image: https://static-assets-1.truthsocial.com/tmtg:prime-ts-assets/media_attachments/files/116/154/353/587/196/273/original/bb161a05fcbf58ea.png ## Engagement - Likes: 12,436 - Reposts: 3,849 - Replies: 713 - Views: unknown - Metrics collected: 2026-03-01T19:30:23.273Z (UTC) # Analysis _No analysis has been generated for this post._ Analysis for other posts is at https://trump.fm/post/{id}/analysis. ## Citation - APA: Trump, D.
