I was at Trump's address to Congress and saw him turn the people's House into a steel cage match

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

70% : As we watched Trump enter the chamber that his supporters tried to breach four years ago, he received jubilant applause.
51% : Rep. Dave Min, a freshman Democrat from California, also hightailed it when Trump repeated his repeatedly debunked lie that childhood vaccination causes autism as he praised his new Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.
44% : " That may be because Trump, himself a former WWE hall of famer, is able to recognize a "worked shoot" - which in pro-wrestling talk, is a scripted action that comes off as unscripted to appear real - when he sees one.
41% : Shannon Watts, who last month told The Independent that she wanted to see Democrats push back more forcefully against Trump, said a coordinated response would have been better.
40% : " But if Democrats are going to engage in a three-on-one tag team match against the Final Boss that is Donald Trump for the millions and millions of Democratic and swing voters across the nation, they will need to figure out a better orchestrated maneuver.
31% : " Trump also engaged in some cheap heat, a tactic used to get a rise out of the crowd, when he rattled off renaming the Gulf of Mexico the Gulf of America and other topics like restricting transgender athletes from participating in women's sports, which Democrats uniformly opposed in legislation on Monday evening in a show of force against the president's attack on a small minority of people.
29% : Trump!" Around me, Democrats throughout the speech sought to make a spectacle to show that they disapproved of the president's actions.
27% : " Democrats began this more aggressive approach after leadership had hoped to compromise with Trump on immigration after the president won the popular vote.
26% : Trump had barely begun to speak when Rep. Al Green, the septuagenarian Democrat from Texas, raised his cane and said the president had "no mandate."
23% : They may have more opportunities soon as the government faces a shutdown in nine days and Republicans seek to pass their legislation to cut taxes, which could come at the expense of Medicaid. Democrats may have finally drawn blood against Trump, whom they view as the ultimate heel, but they have yet to secure a win come the 2026 midterms.
19% : Trump taunted them for that too.
