See How Twitter Reacted to Donald Trump's First State of the Union Address
[LAUGH] [BLANK_AUDIO] Don't look, don't look. [BLANK_AUDIO] Let's talk about. [BLANK_AUDIO] [BLANK_AUDIO]
Donald Trump delivered his first State of the Union address this evening, where he reviewed his first year in office, as well as spoke about what he hopes to accomplish in the coming months.
Some of the major talking points he discussed was the energy industry, in which he touted "beautiful clean coal," infrastructure, the economy, paid family leave, immigration, DREAMers. He also made attempts to bridge together the country, which seems more divided than ever.
When discussing our country's infrastructure he made a plea to both parties: "I am asking both parties to come together to give us the safe, fast, reliable, and modern infrastructure our economy needs and our people deserve."

Watching #SOTU I’m always struck by the divided chamber. Half sitting. No matter who is president. So divided.

Expanding the war on drugs is NOT the way to solve the problem! Get rid of the drug war! #SOTU

I tried. I listened but the amount of BS and stunts and questions raised that will never be answered made me throw my remote and now I am listening to Tom Petty and am a better American for it. #SOTU

PS not all immigrants are in murderous gangs, one did my hair color today - I don’t really need to say this, right? #SOTU

Boos when Trump mentions ending the ability of immigrants to bring family members to the U.S. (something immigrants have been able to do for generations.) #SOTU

Americans are dreamers… and DREAMers are Americans! #CleanDreamActNow #SOTU

Dreamers should not be used as a bargaining chip or held hostage in exchange for anti-immigrant policies. #SOTU
