'Lies, lies and more lies - but no plan to lower costs': Dems blast Trump's State of the Union

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

66% : When Trump concluded his remarks, Democrats immediately fled for the exits as Republicans and their guests coalesced around the President, calling his speech the "best ever" and thanking him for mentioning a variety of topics.
65% : " "Under President Trump, the United States is leading, and Congress must join forces with the President to deliver on the America First agenda," Harris said on X. The stark divide between Harris and the rest of his state's delegation was reflected in the larger divide in the House chamber.
58% : As he did in towns across the country, Trump described a vision of a largely isolationist America, driven by a recommitment to the military, a renegotiation of or complete withdrawal from countless international agreements and trade alliances, an overhaul of immigration policy and the elimination of "wokeness" from American culture.
58% : Trump, who began and ended his speech by declaring "America is back," called his agenda a "common-sense revolution."
54% : Donald Trump arrives for his speech to a joint session of Congress as Rep. Melanie Stansbury (D-NM) holds a sign reading "This is not normal" at the U.S. Capitol on March 04, 2025 in Washington, DC. Democrats sat mostly silent through President Donald Trump's aggressive and partisan 90-minute speech to a joint session of Congress Tuesday, but they had plenty to say about the president and his address afterward.
50% : There were a few exceptions, most notably Rep. Al Green (D-Texas), wbo stood and began shouting at Trump early in the speech.
46% : "The state of our union and our economy grows weaker every day that Donald Trump continues on his current course," Hoyer said in a statement.
42% : Republicans on one side jumped to their feet and applauded Trump at every pause, as Democrats on the other largely sat stone-faced and silent, with some holding up small signs that said "false," "Save Medicaid" and "Musk steals.
40% : While presidential speeches are typically lofty statements of ideals, Trump's was uniquely Trump: partisan, combative and self-congratulatory, sounding at times more like a campaign stump speech than an address to Congress.
38% : These included ending Biden-era climate policies, creating the so-called Department of Government Efficiency, treminatingthe termination of diversity, equity and inclusion practices and removing transgender women from women's sports.
30% : Several Democrats either turned their back on Trump, some wearing shirts that read "resist," or walked out of Trump's address entirely.
30% : At one point, Raskin called Trump "that felon President" while taking aim at his Jan. 6 pardons.
15% : " Trump boasts 'America's momentum is back' in address to Congress as Dems protest, boycott Democrats sat even when goaded by Trump, who ridiculed former President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris by name and said to the Republican side of the room that "these people," as he called the Democrats, would not applaud no matter what he did.
