  1. Obama created the economy before he left office and trump and the republicans are going to take the country into a recession

    1. @TONY one major legislative accomplishment with a Republican house of representatives and Republican Senate for the first two years LOL

    2. @Jermaine bynumOver majority needed to pass laws. How come democrats to stupid to realize or remember that. Heck, If just one dumborat voted yes on healthcare, you might be trusted instead of losers

    3. And remember what Obama inherited from Bush, so that makes his success twice as notable. Bush inherited zero debt from Clinton and he left it in a Mess for Obama. Trump should be ashamed with such a blatant LIEs. Fact checking means nothing after the lie is put out there.

    4. Same thing happened when W took over Clinton’s strong economy. And Clinton took over the Reagan/Bush economy and made it strong in the mid to late 90’s. – I remember the recession of the early 90’s. This is why it’s so crucial for the Dems to get the WH back.

  2. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣a pathological liar talking about facts!!!! That’s so many “TRUE” ….. right? Republicans!!!!! Let’s celebrate lying can make fortunes!!!!!

  3. In 2020, let’s make MORALS and ETHICS great again!!!
    Lets make DECENCY great again!!!
    Let’s make FACTS great again!!! 
    Lets make the TRUTH great again!!!
    Vote 💙👍

    1. @Ted Otway You could be right. In any case it will take decades of real leadership to undo the damage this Commander in Thief has created.

  4. I didn’t watch. I knew that trump was going to be talking manure, and that reminded me to clean my toilets.
    I’m sorry that you guys had to suffer threw that crap.
    I know you guys were not paid enough money to help get rid of the stench!

  5. Feel good… what a price we paid to have a dictator. It’s all BS.. It must end. I am voting against a dictator. At any cost.

    1. Kim L Good luck with your vote. The Democrats proved with the Iowa Caucus that they can’t run a lemonade stand, much less our government! What a bunch of clowns!🤣

    2. Fox News is ran by the king of lies “Satan. Do not ever get that mixed up you filthy supporters. You people follow the Devil wither you realize it or not. Evil, hateful people. It’s why I now believe the truth is democrats are better people. I turned democrat 5 days ago. After watching some of the trail, I do not want to be associated with Republicans any longer. I’m from SC. My grandparents lifelong hardcore conservatives are now turning democratic. NEVER WOULD HAVE BELIEVED IT IN A MILLION YEARS. We real Christians see the evil in you and the Republican party. You are fake Christian’s using the religion for evil purposes and to deceive the masses. EAT IT UP WHILE YOU CAN YOU EVIL HEATHENS FOR YOUR TIME IS SHORT.

  6. So according to Stephanie it’s just a presentation so it’s no big deal that the “president” of the United States is divulging lies to the world during his most important speech of the year?? It’s a disgrace!
    With a 2 Trillion dollar tax cut, an enormous budget deficit, an even more mind-blowing national debt and then realizing only 2.3 % growth?? Not surprising of a man who went bankrupt 6 times and could not even make a profit with casinos, but THAT’S NOT A GOOD ECONOMY!
    And things that are good about the economy, like the unemployment rate, were initiated by the Obama administration!

    1. try looking at the fed balance sheets and their spending. it matches the stock market. guess they are the ones buying stock. 401 k doing great they say wait till they cash them in. unemployment we know how that works no matter who in office. it doesn’t count who gave up on it or who ran it out to the end. most people are working 2 and 3 jobs and still can’t make ends meet. look at some lay off happen daily. https://www.dailyjobcuts.com/

  7. How can the economy be strong when minimum wage has not gone up in 10 years, and many people have to work two or three jobs just to make ends meet?

    1. @Reece Coston go into massive debt to go to college for a chance to out compete other people for entry level jobs that want experience.

    2. I got minimum wage when I was in high school and working part time. Minimum-wage isn’t meant to support families. Careers are. Careers take time, education. Making babies too soon, without thinking, without having a savings to get you through several months if not a year or two… Then it’s not time for people to have kids. That’s my opinion. If they choose otherwise, they have to accept that Every decision has consequences- positive or negative.

  8. 90% of Americans own 16% of the markets including all 401k and pension fund investments so let’s give trillions to very profitable multinational corporations with a 14% tax cut. Brilliant. Yeah us, artificially pumping markets to benefit the few. USA, USA. So proud, so much greed.
    Yes, that means 10% gets 84% of the tax money.

  9. What in the world is he talkin’ abooot? Good question.
    State Of The Union Speech = Lies galore. Narcissism at it’s cringiest …

    1. I’m way more concerned about the ballooning national and private debt. Debt can increase GDP but when the bills come due, the debt comedown begins. Also say goodbye to postive GDP because it’ll go backwards due to lack of credit growth and over leveraged Americans.

  10. How can the economy be so good when thousands and thousands of homeless people are sleeping in the streets. In SD we have million dollar condo’s being built and downstairs the streets are lined street after street of homeless lay on the ground but the economy is good and this fool is having million dollar Superbowl partys, enriching himself and family off American taxpayer dollars miss me with that BS

    1. But America is not about the corporate and the rich its all Americans if sit by and let him and family continue to profit off the country and talk all he has did when in reality he’s done nothing. We’re paying for him to live in florida when there’s a perfectly good white house that every other president has stay there is what im talking about

    2. @Rod People who are getting taking off food stamps because the income requirements has changed. So people a lot are making the same amount but because the income requirements has changed they aren’t eligible for them. Which is effecting our school lunches. Some kids can’t even come to school and get a lunch because of this cut to food stamps wake up people.

  11. I searched for “trump SOTU fact check” and I listened to this but all I heard was wa-wa-wa charley brown

    1. Yes. Expiring tax breaks for working class, permanent tax breaks for the rich. Record federal debt. States and municipalities across America have raised minimum wage, not the feds. Deregulation causing more pollution, public health concerns, and civil issues, all which cost more money to fix (paid for by tax $$$). It’s all making the rich richer off the backs of the working class, which is the GOP’s not-so-closed-door strategy, but it’s not how they portray it to us all. Twisted truths to fit their agenda.
