The numbers are in, and Democrats aren’t going to be happy about this.
A majority of Americans approved of President Trump’s very first State of the Union speech. In fact, the numbers are unequivocal: it was a smashing success! Take a look at this CBS poll conducted last night:

From the report: “Three in four Americans who tuned in to President Trump’s State of the Union address tonight approved of the speech he gave. Just a quarter disapproved.”
That’s an incredible disparity. A president who can bring together 75% of Americans on something is truly a president who can lead.
And who wouldn’t have loved Trump’s speech? From highlighting Congressman Steve Scalise, the lawmaker who survived multiple gunshot wounds over the summer, to paying special recognition to a little boy who started an initiative to decorate the graves of veterans, there were many highlights during the big speech.
But one of the biggest high points during the address didn’t happen during Trump’s remarks. It happened online, where the President just shattered another record.
Trump’s SOTU speech was the most tweeted about SOTU speech in American history. Twitter even verified that fact:

How very fitting! A president who used the social media platform to bypass the mainstream media just made history on the very same platform.
Could you imagine Hillary Clinton trying to use Twitter effectively? I can’t!
Overall, last night was a huge success for President Trump. The only people who don’t think so are bitter losers.
