‘Gloomy.’ ‘Amazing.’ Trump’s Speech Divides the Pundits.
Van Jones, the CNN commentator, was castigated by his fellow liberals last year when he effusively praised Mr. Trump’s first joint address to Congress, describing one passage as “one of the most extraordinary moments you have ever seen in American politics, period.” On CNN on Tuesday, Mr. Jones was not going to allow any highlight-reel editor or YouTube wag to catch him in the act of applauding the president. He came out swinging and kept on swinging. “He was…

Like many American hometowns, Fall River has faced its share of storms. But people here are tough. They fight for each other. They pull for their city. It is a fitting place to gather as our nation reflects on the state of our union. This is a difficult task. Many have spent the past year anxious, angry, afraid. We all feel the fault lines of a fractured country. We hear the voices of Americans who feel forgotten and forsaken….

Credit Doug Mills/The New York Times WASHINGTON — Americans are usually eager to see what the first lady will be wearing to the president’s State of the Union address, how she will greet attendees and which guests she has invited to sit near her to watch the speech.

He also opened with calls for unity — “We always will pull through together, always” — which contrasted with repeated network cutaways to congressional Democrats, seated and often glaring. Reminders of disunity were never too far away. When Mr. Trump praised a guest, 12-year-old Preston Sharp, for arranging the planting of 40,000 flags at military graves, he added that it was a reminder of “why we proudly stand for the national anthem” — a none-too-subtle allusion to his divisive…

Melania Trump and the Case of the White Pantsuit

But given that clothes became a symbolic dividing line during this State of the Union like seemingly never before — the members of the Congressional Black Caucus also expressed their point of view through their attire, with some wearing kente cloth and black outfits in reference to, and repudiation of, the president’s denigrating comment about Africa and Haiti this month — it’s hard to believe that the potential (and, indeed, probable) interpretations of her choice escaped the…
Longest State of the Union? Not Quite, but Trump’s Was Long
Photo President Trump’s first State of the Union address was also one of the longest in the last 50 years, outlasting all but two of President Bill Clinton’s. Credit Doug Mills/The New York Times Whatever you thought of President Trump’s first State of the Union address, one fact is indisputable: There was a lot of it.
