Trump projects his failings onto others in his State of the Union address
February 26, 2026
President Trump’s State of the Union address was a long temper tantrum filled with lies, insults and projection, attributing his own failings to others.
Trump falsely accused those he considers his enemies of mistakes, misconduct and malignant behavior. He complained incessantly about former President Joe Biden, congressional Democrats, unauthorized immigrants, the media and others, in the longest State of the Union on record, at one hour and 47 minutes. He showed once again that he is in love with the sound of his own voice and would rather attack Democrats than work with them to benefit the American people.
