President Donald Trump’s speech to a joint session of Congress sounded much like his campaign diatribes—it was roughly 90 minutes of boasts and attacks on Democrats, with plenty of made-for-TV moments.
Trump opened his combative speech by claiming there’s “nothing” he can do to make Democrats support him. About an hour into the speech, he blamed “radical left lunatics” for what he claimed was the crime spree in American cities. He pointed at the Democrats as he spoke to groans from the seats in the House of Representatives.
