President Donald Trump used his first State of the Union Address last Tuesday night to extol the GOP’s achievements during his first year in office, and to appeal for political unity to make 2018 even better for all Americans. Speaking directly to a joint session of Congress, and indirectly to the American people and beyond, President Trump hailed what he characterized as the “extraordinary success” of his administration’s first year. On the economic front, Trump touted the GOP’s Tax Cuts and Jobs Act for providing tremendous relief for the American people.
