- React and respond to the words of Trump’s 2019 SOTU speech. Why did Members of Congress selectively applaud, when American Greatness was highlighted. What will the 2020 SOTU convey to the world? What expectation do you have for the 2020 State of the Union Speech? What messages of American Greatness can Trump bring to a #UnitedCongress in 2020? Is it too much to ask for? The State of the Union is a fundamentally important part of Our Democracy.
