Gee Scott: Democrats missed an opportunity to see Donald Trump ‘fall flat’

President Trump delivered the longest address to Congress since 1964 on Tuesday night. His speech blended policy proposals and personal gripes with ambitious promises for America’s future.
Trump closed by declaring that America’s “golden age” was just beginning, promising prosperity, safer communities, and even vowing to plant the American flag on Mars. He emphasized the nation’s unstoppable spirit and commitment to national prosperity.
Trump also defended his administration’s actions on immigration and border security and reiterated his “America First” economic policies, including tariffs aimed at supporting U.S. farmers and manufacturers. He declared that the U.S. would no longer be “woke,” aiming to reverse policies he criticized as part of a “woke” agenda, including banning “Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion” policies and making English the official language.

The speech was met with protests from Democrats, who held up signs and criticized Trump’s policies. Tensions escalated when Rep. Al Green was escorted out for interrupting, but Trump continued his address, acknowledging that he would never win approval from his political opponents.
“The Gee and Ursula Show” host Gee Scott shared his opinion on the Democrats’ reaction to Trump during a recent appearance on “Seattle’s Morning News” on KIRO Newsradio:
“If you fight with a pig, and even if you win, you still get dirty, right? Last night, I thought that the Democrats had an opportunity to let Trump fall flat on his face, but instead, they jumped in the mud and wrestled with that pig. If you want to stand up Al Green, and you want to protest, OK. But then you accept your punishment,” Gee said.
