CAL THOMAS COMMENTARY FEBRUARY 26, 2026/
IT WAS LONG. IT WAS DRAMATIC. AND IT WAS PARTISAN.
PRESIDENT TRUMP’S STATE OF THE UNION SPEECH HAD ELEMENTS OF SHOWBIZNESS, PROMISES THE ECONOMY IS GETTING BETTER WITH LOWER INFLATION, LOWER EGG AND GAS PRICES, DECLINING MORTGAGE RATES, AND LOWER TAXES.
IN WHAT MAY COME BACK TO HAUNT DEMOCRATS IN CAMPAIGN COMMERCIALS, THE PRESIDENT SAID “STAND IF YOU AGREE: THE FIRST DUTY OF THE AMERICAN GOVERNMENT IS TO PROTECT AMERICAN CITIZENS, NOT ILLEGAL ALIENS.” NO DEMOCRAT STOOD. HE CALLED THEM CRAZY.
THE PRESIDENT HAD A RIGHT TO FIRE BACK AT DEMOCRATS WHO HAVE CALLED HIM A FASCIST AND WORSE. SEVERAL YELLED AT THE PRESIDENT DURING HIS SPEECH.
THE GREAT IRONY WAS THE OFFICIAL DEMOCRAT RESPONSE. VIRGINIA GOVERNOR ABIGAL SPANBERGER USED THE DEMOCRAT BUZZWORD “AFFORDABILITY” WHEN SHE WANTS TO RAISE TAXES ON EVERYTHING FROM DOG WALKERS TO DRY CLEANING.
WE’LL SEE WHETHER THE TRUMP SPEECH AFFECTS THE POLLS. THE MEDIA WILL DO ALL THEY CAN – AND HAVE BEEN DOING – TO ELECT DEMOCRATS IN THE FALL WHICH WOULD MEAN MORE IMPEACHMENTS AND INVESTIGATIONS, NOT IMPROVING THE COUNTRY AS TRUMP IS DOING. I’M CAL THOMAS.
