The State of the Union is the face of the abject terror captured by the cameras as they pan the House Chamber only one year into what is already the bad eternity of Trump’s second term. The expression could not be any clearer. The sitters are cornered and helpless. They are being badly battered on a national stage, staring in stunned disbelief at the malevolent political force standing before them. They are legislators from the minority party, Supreme Court justices, and military leaders. Their eyes are open and blank, jaws set, mouths clenched tight, necks beginning to buckle at the demonic exercise of raw executive power. Ginned up and racist, the President of the United States says, “I put America first. I love America” while constantly blaming at this public forum Democrats and others for undermining economic prosperity and public safety.
