So Donald Trump gave his first State of the Union address last night. The speech was chocked full of Trump’s usual empty platitudes, coded racism, smug expressions, and bold-faced lies.
According to PolitiFact, a whopping 33% of the things Trump said were false, 21% were mostly false, and 15% were flat out lies. Meanwhile, 4 % of what he said was true.
And now, the memes…

So salty because the SOTU speech had like a 75% approval rating?
AtlGuy67
Yes, among deplorables….
Juanjo
An instant poll among people watching the speech is not by any means a scientific poll of the opinion of the country.

@Juanjo
CNN, NBC, CBS, and other news outlets all conducted various polls after the speech and all came back with roughly the same results.
You sound awfully salty today. I’m guessing you’re struggling with coping with this and will probably litter your social media with anti-Trump messages all day in protest LOL

I love the saltiness. Pls cry some more libtards. Lol #MAGA

Every Trump victory is another bloody lash of the whip to liberals, and to say it’s been wildly entertaining is an understatement.

Huh. Really? Try “least positive in at least 20 years.”

Inaccurate information. Not surprising coming from a Trump supporter.
Let’s see…CNN put it at the lowest approval rating since they’ve been asking the question.
Nielsen ratings have it at a significant drop in number of viewers from last year and well below previous presidents’ SOTU addresses.
And fact checkers show him still constantly making up facts.
Besides that, there’s the embarrassment that was him trying to paint immigrants as vicious killers for an incident in NY while ignoring the numerous and vicious mass killings attributed to his “base” (i.e. white men).
Just another POS, but keep your blinders on, Replorables. Welcome to Idiocracy.

Hmmm…I think CNN isn’t too good at reporting and they are fake news because that isn’t entirely true, they even contradict themselves in the link you posted, see below:

I guess they hate Trump so bad at that network that they had to spin it negative somehow, even if they had to be dishonest in doing so

75% says who? Did Devin Nunes put out a new memo?

Yeah!
Trumpites finally have a new official word to supplement the very tired “snowflake, cuck, triggered, libtard, tranny Michael”.

Well, I thought the speech was mostly wonderful. And all these picture prove is that the left can’t meme.

Wrong. The left can meme, but the right can’t govern.

What truly sad is how desperately these “woke” liberals want America to fail so that they can all righteously say, “Ha ha, told ya so!”
Luckily for the rest of the country, Trump’s success is unparalleled, and Democrats are the ones who’ll have egg on their faces come election day.
Caine
Hey Troll – go away. History will tell the story. Donald Trump is the worst President this country has ever seen: He is racist, sexist, and single handedly setting gay rights back 50 years.
Mandrake
I agree totally. Yes, Trump does sometimes lie, usually out of ignorance or for hyperbole, and he’s indeed crass and impulsive about what he says.
HOWEVER, I think after one year in office, “the proof is in the pudding” to use a cliche. Tax savings, bonuses, Major corporations coming back to this country with their money for taxes at a 21% rate, ISIS is being decimated, the stock market has skyrocketed not just in 2017, but since this tax reform got passed. Bigger paychecks for average workers starting this month. More jobs for every ethnic and racial segment in America.
BUT OH, he never mentioned GLBT rights in his SOTU last night!! What a horrific POTUS!! Just another example of how he’s so ANTI-GLBT!
captainburrito
Mandarake
He’s had some successes I agree but “sometimes lies” is a bit of an understatement. Not only does he have to lie but Sarah Huckabee Sanders and Conway have to lie for him and find a zillion different ways to say “I’m not answering / defending that / I dunno wtf he was thinking when he said that”.
Why are we cheering about tax savings, where in the budget are they paying for those? It will just come from programs and increase the disparity between the rich and the poor. Those poor whites are going to be hurt. The stockmarket has risen but not all that is him or even America, some of it is. A chunk of it is due to overseas markets doing better which is outwith his control.
So while the tax cuts do spur economic growth at least in the short term, the wealth gap increases at a faster rate. You just need to look at societies like Hong Kong to see where that leads you.
LGBT people being concerned about their issues is not unreasonable. He did say he’d be good for gays after all.
Brody
Mandrake –
Agreed.
Trump may be indelicate in his tweets, but having America and its citizens’ best interests in mind and actually making people’s lives better (neither of which his predecessor did) is, in my opinion, worth the occasional ungentlemanly tweet.
I keep asking liberals/Democrats examples of Trump’s racism, sexism, homophobia, etc, and the most specific answer I’ve been able to glean is the fear of him appointing conservative judges who’ll embark on a campaign to remove all rights from everyone except straight white guys, which, let’s face it, is pure paranoia borne of liberal propaganda.
Caine –
Can you provide examples of how he’s “single-handedly setting gay rights back 50 years”?
rehmarin
trump wants to bring us back to when only whites had rights he has shown what a racist crook he is, but he will not obstruct justice and get away with it. Its Mueller time.

What’s truly sad is how America has been failing thanks to racists and bigots in the White House but that you’re willing to ignore it. America had been on an upswing for the last 8 years and we’re cirrently riding the crest of that wave until Dump makes us crash. Follow a financial trend once in a while.

A garbage truck collided with a train full of republicans? How appropriate. The truck probably thought it had arrived at the dump.
He BGB
When he reads a speech and doesn’t stray, he actually does fairly well. But still dictatorial BS. Lies. That’s what he does. If Russia helped elect him last time who can stop them again? Republicans don’t seem to he concerned. Don’t be surprised if he wins a second term. Not winning the popular vote and getting help from Putin elects our officials.

75% approval for a speech he didn’t write and doesn’t believe.

Trumps greatest “success” is getting all of his right-wing activists confirmed to the Federal Judiciary, especially Neil Gorsuch. And if you think you won’t take a hit or the LGBT community, won’t take a hit you are living in a fairyland. No, your white skin will not protect you. You can spin all you want, but if you support a President who is also supported by people who think you should be killed because of who you are, all in the name of the mass delusion called Christianity then IMHO, you should reassess your priorities and get your head out of your ass. You should surf over to http://www.rightwingwatch.org and get a little taste of what the Right really thinks of the LGBT community. Here is a recent ditty: http://www.rightwingwatch.org/post/nom-supreme-court-is-one-retirement-away-from-ending-marriage-equality/
Notright
They keep bashing Trump. I really think they’re going to be shocked in 2020 again. I know a lot of folks that quietly support the President. I even found a gay black guy. https://www.therainbowright.com/black-trump-supporter/ That was brave of him to come out. Anyway I wish this blog would represent the gay community better. We’re not all liberals.

I’m not surprised there’s so many Republicans on this site (Take a guess) But it’s baffling either way how people can support Donald Trump. And the hypocrisy is insane. I don’t see how conservatives, “the party of family values,” can stand behind a twice-divorced adulterer with a penchant for lying and cheating. Conservatives railed against Obama’s spending, yet turns the other eye when Trump is not only spending more than Obama on average, but is using our tax dollars AT HIS OWN BUSINESSES every chance he gets. These aren’t allegations. These are FACTS. Then again, a lot of people don’t know what facts are these days.

and last but not least…Tweeting like an obese, gossipy, very old and frustrated bitch. It’s sad.
