I think #Trump is finally wrapping up. He’s sticking to the teleprompter at least now.
Even still, he has gone over 1½ hours, the longest address to a #JointSession of #congress in all of American history.
#ElissaSlotkin’s Democratic response to #Trump’s address may go down as the first time the rebuttal was far-far superior to the actual speech. Just saying.
#Slotkin opens by saying that “America wants change” but that there is a “responsible way” & a “reckless” way, framing Trump’s approach as chaotic.
Slotkin is not just going after Trump but also #ElonMusk. She specifically cites his recent quote that #SocialSecurity is the “biggest Ponzi scheme of all time.”
#ElissaSlotkin spoke favorably of #Reagan in contrast to #Trump’s approach re #Russia & #Ukraine. She said Reagan “must be rolling over in his grave” following the Oval Office meeting last week & that she is thankful Reagan was president in the 1980s — & not Trump.
#ElissaSlotkin goes after #Trump’s scattershot approach to laying off thousands of #FederalWorkers.
“The mindless firing of people who work to protect our #NuclearWeapons, keep our #planes from crashing, & conduct the research that finds the cure for #cancer — only to re-hire them 2 days later? No CEO in America could do that without being summarily fired,” she said.
