Susan Kokinda from Promethean Action discusses President Trump’s State of the Union, contrasting it with British media reactions and the Democratic response by Virginia Gov. Abigail Spanberger. She highlights the speech’s closing themes of America’s history, builders, and “forgotten men and women,” and argue it reflects a return to the American System versus “British imperial” financialization.
Trump clips focus on immigration enforcement, opposition to child gender transitions without parental consent, and tariff policy following a Supreme Court ruling. She also covers actions on healthcare costs, housing, AI data-center power requirements, and a call to ban congressional insider trading.
