Last night during his Joint Address to Congress, Donald Trump rambled on about invading Greenland<\/a> and planting the American flag on Mars<\/a>, but a plan to lower costs and address Americans\u2019 anxiety about the looming economic disaster he\u2019s driving us toward was noticeably absent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Instead of using his Joint Address to offer solutions or save his rapidly declining approval rating<\/a>, Trump rehashed old grievances and evaded responsibility.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here\u2019s what people are saying about Trump\u2019s failed speech: <\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

DNC Chair Ken Martin<\/strong><\/a>: <\/strong>\u201cInstead of focusing on the issues that Americans actually cared about, [Trump] did everything but. Americans have already lost confidence in his presidency after six weeks, consumer confidence is low, inflation is high. He focused more on Joe Biden, which he mentioned 13 times compared to talking about the economy nine times and health care he mentioned not once in his speech last night. \u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201c[In h]is long, rambling speech he did not address the issues that most Americans care about. And what you saw from Democrats, and what you continue to see from Democrats, is the fact that there is great frustration out there amongst the American people that Trump refuses, absolutely refuses to address the issues he promised that he would address. It\u2019s going to become more difficult with these tariffs that he\u2019s putting in place for people to afford their lives and he hasn\u2019t focused one bit, one single iota on the issues that are driving the American public right now.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Veterans fired by DOGE<\/strong><\/a>: <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"\/<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI feel as if I was not human. I felt like I was just a number, that one minute I’m here, the next minute I’m gone.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe name of the game here is chaos, absolute chaos.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe were terminated, we weren’t fired. Fired is when you’re fired for cause, when there’s a reason for your firing. We were all terminated, which means we were let go as part of a layoff, regardless of what they put on the paper.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAre we willing to accept less care for veterans? Are we willing to accept small businesses that fall under? No one’s talking about the price is going to be paid. We have to make budget cuts. That’s understandable. But what are we willing to accept not having in the future?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On MSNBC:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/strong>
<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

DNC Vice Chair Malcolm Kenyatta<\/strong><\/a>: <\/strong>\u201cThe fact that this guy spent more time attacking Americans than he did talking about the fact that people cannot afford their lives \u2026 The president did not talk about it at all. \u2026 The main thing is that Donald Trump in just six weeks has made life more expensive, has made America sicker, has made America weaker. And he got up on that stage and lied to the American people. The only American energy that was unleashed was the fully gaslighting that we saw in front of our face.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sen. Chuck Schumer on X<\/strong><\/a>: <\/strong>Tonight, President Trump rattled off broken promise after broken promise and lie after lie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There was more truth in 10 minutes of Elissa Slotkin\u2019s rebuttal than 2 hours of Donald Trump\u2019s longwinded diatribe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Instead of focusing on driving costs down, in Donald Trump\u2019s first month in office, inflation, rents, groceries, and Putin\u2019s influence are all on the rise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The stock market is plummeting as he starts ill-conceived trade wars with our allies\u2014hurting our farmers, families and 401Ks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Americans will look at what he has done, not what he says, and see the destruction he\u2019s beginning to wreak on you, your family, and our country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Senate Democrats will keep fighting for a brighter future for American families and holding the Trump administration accountable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sen. Elissa Slotkin on X<\/strong><\/a>: <\/strong>Let\u2019s talk about the economy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Michigan literally invented the Middle Class: the revolutionary idea that you could work at an auto plant and afford the car you were building. That\u2019s the American Dream.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rep. Katherine Clark on X<\/strong><\/a>: <\/strong>Donald Trump is lying about Social Security for one reason:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So he has an excuse to CUT Social Security.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That’s always been the GOP’s plan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rep. Adriano Espaillat on X<\/strong><\/a>: Trump\u2019s words do not match his actions. He claims to care for the working class, yet has actively plotted against them, threatening to tear away critical programs such as Medicare and Social Security. #SOTU #DemocraticResponse<\/p>\n\n\n\n

House Democrats on X<\/strong><\/a>: <\/strong>All it takes is three House Republicans to stop Donald Trump from cutting Medicaid to pay for tax giveaways to billionaires. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

But every Republican is on their feet cheering on an agenda that asks the middle class to pay more while Elon Musk pays less.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ken Martin<\/strong><\/a>: Read our statement on Trump\u2019s disastrous joint address.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"\/<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Malcolm Kenyatta on X<\/strong><\/a>: Trump campaigned hard on lowering costs for working families, but now he\u2019s admitting pain is coming.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Promises BROKEN.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Reyna Walters-Morgan on X<\/strong><\/a>: Did anyone hear Trump mention the fact that his cuts to Medicaid could impact 22 million people’s coverage?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nah? Me either.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rep. Nikki Budzinski on X<\/strong><\/a>: <\/strong>My thoughts on President Trump’s address \ud83d\udd3d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can\u2019t say you love farmers when you are disrupting their markets and financial livelihoods with misguided tariffs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can\u2019t talk about helping children with cancer when you gut the NIH and end clinical trials.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can\u2019t honor our military when you dismantle veterans\u2019 services and fire veterans working across federal departments. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can\u2019t champion children with disabilities when you want to abolish the Department of Education.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can\u2019t support the police when you pardon January 6th criminals who attacked law enforcement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I stand ready to find common ground with Republicans to solve these important issues \u2013 but President Trump’s policies are taking us backward.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sen. Catherine Cortez Masto on X<\/strong><\/a>: One thing is clear from tonight’s address from the President. He has no plan to do anything that would actually lower costs for families.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He’s focused on giving out tax breaks to his billionaire friends, and he’ll be happy to leave middle-class Americans with the bill.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sen. Andy Kim on X<\/strong><\/a>: Trump didn\u2019t say the word Medicaid because he wants to make it disappear.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sen. Maria Cantwell on X<\/strong><\/a>: President Trump promised to deal with consumer costs and inflation, but we got no ideas tonight on how he\u2019s going to make life more affordable for average Americans. Instead, he\u2019s proposing things that will increase costs. New tariffs, cuts to critical programs like Medicaid and Social Security, and threatening core services like weather forecasting and aviation safety that are all bad for our safety and our economy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sen. Ed Markey on Bluesky<\/strong><\/a>: Nothing Donald Trump has said tonight is new. But he laid bare the Republican agenda:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cut Medicare. Cut Medicaid. Cut Social Security. Cut food assistance. And line the pockets of the ultra-wealthy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sen. Adam Schiff on Bluesky<\/strong><\/a>: Trump breaks every promise he makes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

He promised to lower the cost of living. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

He promised to respect our veterans. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

But there\u2019s one promise you can count on him keeping: <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tax cuts for billionaires.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sen. Elizabeth Warren on Bluesky<\/strong><\/a>: I agree with Donald Trump that an unelected bureaucrat should be fired. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Let\u2019s start with Elon Musk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rep. Nanette D. Barrag\u00e1n on X<\/strong><\/a>: Donald Trump\u2019s rambling, lie-filled speech was the longest ever. But he spent less than two minutes talking about Americans\u2019 top priority: lowering the cost of living.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Trump and Republicans top legislative priority remains giving handouts to billionaire donors like Elon Musk and screwing hard-working Americans. #RepublicanRipOff<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rep. Joe Courtney on X<\/strong><\/a>: On the same day the cost of living increased & the stock market tanked thanks to President Trump\u2019s trade war, Americans rightly wanted to know how this upheaval would improve their lives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Instead, they got a speech completely detached from reality, full of self-congratulations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rep. Greg Casar on X<\/strong><\/a>: All you need to know about State of the Union: Trump lied to cover up for Musk stealing. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

They want to steal our healthcare, steal from our veterans, and steal from you to give to billionaires. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The American people must fight back.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rep. Rosa DeLauro on X<\/strong><\/a>: President Trump along with unchecked billionaire Elon Musk, is looting from the American people to fund massive tax breaks and subsidies for the richest Americans and biggest corporations. He said nothing about lowering costs for families. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

My full reaction to his Joint Address:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rep. Jim Costa on X<\/strong><\/a>: Grocery prices are up, the stock market is down, and healthcare is on the chopping block. Tonight, President Trump sowed division instead of proposing solutions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Americans don\u2019t need more political games – they need robust, bipartisan solutions to address these challenges.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez on Bluesky<\/strong><\/a>:<\/strong> This list is so long and taking up so much real estate in his speech it\u2019s almost like they want to distract from their massive cuts to Medicaid<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Gov. JB Pritzker on Bluesky<\/strong><\/a>: <\/strong>Donald Trump is lying to you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

FactPost on X<\/strong><\/a>: CNN plays a near 4-minute fact check on Trump’s joint address<\/p>\n\n\n\n

CAP Action on X<\/strong><\/a>: Trump spoke for 90 minutes\u2014and didn’t say one word about the stress the 60% of Americans living paycheck to paycheck are facing right now<\/p>\n\n\n\n

NAACP on X<\/strong><\/a>: The President of the United States just stood before the Nation and equated Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion to Tyranny.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And Republican elected lawmakers stood and cheered\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Efforts that protect the disabled, women, mothers, veterans, LGBTQ+, and yes also race.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tyranny?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Reproductive Freedom for All on X<\/strong><\/a>: Reminder: Several of the people Trump praised tonight \u2014 including Pam Bondi and RFK Jr. \u2014 have extensive anti-abortion records. It’s not a matter of IF they’re going to come after abortion rights, it’s when.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

EMILYs List on X<\/strong><\/a>: \ud83d\udea8PAY ATTENTION\ud83d\udea8Donald Trump is trying to distract us, but the fact remains: he helped pass a House budget that would drastically cut Medicaid, rip away health care, close hospitals, take food off of people\u2019s tables, and make life more expensive for hardworking families.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Becky Pringle, National Educators Association, on Bluesky<\/strong><\/a>: Shaming and alienating LGBTQ+ students doesn’t make anyone safer, happier, or more free. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Whether it’s coming from a school bully or the president during a joint address, this hate and division is wrong.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Peggy Bailey, Center on Budget and Policy Priorities, on X<\/strong><\/a>: The President left out “for the wealthy’ when talking about the tax cuts he supports. His proposals, which are included in the House budget resolution, cut taxes for the top 1% and pay for it by cutting food assistance and Medicaid. #CBPPJointAddress<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Latino Victory Project on X<\/strong><\/a>: Trump\u2019s \u201cgold card\u201d is a blatant attempt to turn citizenship into a commodity, where only the wealthy get a pass. Meanwhile, hardworking Latino families, who contribute to this nation every day, continue to be marginalized. True immigration reform should lift up all, not just the rich.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Protect Our Care on X<\/strong><\/a>: No plan to lower health care costs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

No solutions to bring down prescription drug prices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Not a single mention of Medicaid, which covers more than 72M Americans.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Trump has no answers for the health care crises facing working families\u2014because they\u2019re the ones making it worse.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Families Over Billionaires on X<\/strong><\/a>: Trump\u2019s tax plan benefits billionaires, not working families.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"\/<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Meryl Kornfield, Washington Post, on X<\/strong><\/a>: Words Trump didn’t say tonight: \u201cMedicaid,\u201d \u201cbird flu,\u201d \u201cmeasles\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Leo Shane III, Military Times, on X<\/strong><\/a>: No mention of veterans or veterans issues in that speech. Trump only said “veteran” once, in reference to Corey Comperatore, the man killed at his campaign rally over the summer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Andrew Desiderio, Punchbowl News, on X<\/strong><\/a>: Kind of difficult to back up Trump\u2019s claim that Russia has sent signals that it wants peace. To this day, the Russian military is bombarding Ukraine, including civilian areas, with drone attacks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kenneth Vogel, New York Times, on X<\/strong><\/a>: Trump declared that he has “a mandate like has not been seen in many decades.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He won the popular vote by 1.48%.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Biden won the popular vote in 2020 by 4.45%.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Obama won the popular vote in 2008 by 7.27%.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cassie Semyon, Spectrum News, on X<\/strong><\/a>: After President Trump slammed the bipartisan CHIPS Act tonight in his speech, a DNC spox pointed out that the legislation \u201cfueled new middle-class jobs, turbocharged small businesses, spurred innovation, and boosted American-made manufacturing.\u201d They told me \u201cit\u2019s no surprise that Trump – the master of shipping jobs overseas, rigging the economy for billionaires, and putting working people last – wants to roll it back. Trump isn’t doing a damn thing to help working people and that’s why economists believe his policies are putting us on the brink of a recession.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ryan Nobles, NBC News, on X<\/strong><\/a>: Trump just hammered the CHIPS act which was overwhelmingly passed with bi-partisan support and provided billions of dollars in incentives to companies across America.  24 Republicans voted for it in the House and 17 Republicans voted for it in the Senate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Philip Bump, Washington Post, on Bluesky<\/strong><\/a>: hey guess what trump’s numbers about social security are total horseshit https:\/\/www.washingtonpost.com\/opinions\/2025\/02\/19\/elon-musk-social-security-fraud\/<\/a> <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
