Church ... family ... police ... military ... the national anthem ... Trump trying to call on all the tropes of 1950s-era nationalism. The goal of this speech appears to be to force the normalization of Trump on the terms of the bygone era his supporters are nostalgic for. #SOTU

Bottom line: the first half of Trump’s
#SOTU speech was pure pabulum: GOP family values boilerplate that the party traded in for demographic rage and reality show vulgarity by backing him. The second half was the dark matter Trumpism actually represents:Show this thread -
Anti-immigrant, backward looking, anti-innovation, and anti-progress. And of course his base loved every minute of it.

Trump respects Family Values? What a joke. From what I’ve read he is a lousy father. How could he be anything else? Trump’s proven that he cares for no one but himself. His wife raised the kids while he screwed around.

I don’t think Trump ever spends time w his son Barron. Pathetic human!
-
If they weren’t involved with betraying our country I’d feel badly for all of his children. Trump’s a child himself with a crippling lack of empathy. Imagine being raised by the Orange Baboon.
-
Trump’s own parents couldn’t deal w him. He was sent away to school. Certainly didn’t do any good. Maybe it’s a good thing he doesn’t spend time w Barron. His adult kids are losers like him, so maybe there’s hope for Barron.
-
Barron seems to be well protected & nurtured by Melania. So hopefully he’ll be ok.
-
That’s what I’m thinking also.

Family values should be for American Citizens and LEGAL immigrants first and foremost! Illegal Aliens have no place in our politics or welfare benefits programs. Homeless Americans, homeless veterans and hungry American families need our help FIRST!

I am an immigrant and he isn’t against my family. We came legally. So please you don’t speak for me. Just illegal immigrants.

The "past" would seem to include: prosperity, strong free market economy, law and order, strong military for defense, all of which make for a great foundation for the future. What future did Obama give us?
