WhiteHouse.gov, "President Trump Delivers the State of the Union Address," February 5, 2019

On February 5, 2019, President Donald Trump delivered his second State of the Union address. He called on members of Congress from both parties to work with him "to achieve historic breakthroughs for all Americans. Millions of our fellow citizens are watching us now, gathered in this great chamber, hoping that we will govern not as two parties but as one nation. The agenda I will lay out this evening is not a Republican agenda or a Democrat agenda. It’s the agenda of the American people."[1]

He called on members of Congress to work with him to create "a new standard of living for the 21st century" and "reject the politics of revenge, resistance, and retribution, and embrace the boundless potential of cooperation, compromise, and the common good."[1]

Issues

During his speech, Trump discussed what he described as his administration's accomplishments. He listed the following as his successes: job creation; low unemployment for minorities and people with disabilities; a growing economy; fewer people needing SNAP benefits, also known as food stamps; eliminating the Affordable Care Act's individual mandate penalty; cutting regulations; getting NATO members to pay more for defense spending; liberating territory controlled by ISIS; and passing tax cuts, the Right to Try Act, legislation to confront the opioid crisis, the farm bill, VA reforms, and the First Step Act, among other things.[1]

Trump also spoke about a variety of issues that he wanted to work with Congress to address. Excerpts from his speech appear below.[1]

  • On Immigration: Calling immigration reform a moral issue, Trump asked Congress to protect citizens, encourage legal immigration, and pass his immigration reform proposal.
  • On immigration as a class issue: Trump called immigration reform a class issue, saying, “No issue better illustrates the divide between America’s working class and America’s political class than illegal immigration. Wealthy politicians and donors push for open borders while living their lives behind walls, and gates, and guards. Meanwhile, working-class Americans are left to pay the price for mass illegal migration: reduced jobs, lower wages, overburdened schools, hospitals that are so crowded you can’t get in, increased crime, and a depleted social safety net. Tolerance for illegal immigration is not compassionate; it is actually very cruel.”
  • On his immigration proposal: "My administration has sent to Congress a commonsense proposal to end the crisis on the southern border. It includes humanitarian assistance, more law enforcement, drug detection at our ports, closing loopholes that enable child smuggling, and plans for a new physical barrier, or wall, to secure the vast areas between our ports of entry. In the past, most of the people in this room voted for a wall, but the proper wall never got built. I will get it built. This is a smart, strategic, see-through steel barrier — not just a simple concrete wall. It will be deployed in the areas identified by the border agents as having the greatest need."
  • On trade: Trump called on Congress to pass the U.S.-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA) “so that we can bring back our manufacturing jobs in even greater numbers, expand American agriculture, protect intellectual property, and ensure that more cars are proudly stamped with our four beautiful words: ‘Made in the USA.’” He also asked Congress to pass “the United States Reciprocal Trade Act, so that if another country places an unfair tariff on an American product, we can charge them the exact same tariff on the exact same product that they sell to us.”
  • On infrastructure: “I know that Congress is eager to pass an infrastructure bill, and I am eager to work with you on legislation to deliver new and important infrastructure investment, including investments in the cutting-edge industries of the future. This is not an option. This is a necessity.”
  • On drug pricing and healthcare: “I am asking Congress to pass legislation that finally takes on the problem of global freeloading and delivers fairness and price transparency for American patients, finally. We should also require drug companies, insurance companies, and hospitals to disclose real prices to foster competition and bring costs way down.” Trump also called on Congress to protect people with preexisting conditions and approve his request for $500 million over the next 10 years to fund pediatric cancer research.
  • On abortion: “To defend the dignity of every person, I am asking Congress to pass legislation to prohibit the late-term abortion of children who can feel pain in the mother’s womb. Let us work together to build a culture that cherishes innocent life. And let us reaffirm a fundamental truth: All children — born and unborn — are made in the holy image of God.”
  • On socialism: After speaking about the crisis in Venezuela, Trump said, “Here in the United States, we are alarmed by the new calls to adopt socialism in our country. America was founded on liberty and independence, and not government coercion, domination, and control. We are born free and we will stay free. Tonight, we renew our resolve that America will never be a socialist country.”
  • On Afghanistan: “In Afghanistan, my administration is holding constructive talks with a number of Afghan groups, including the Taliban. As we make progress in these negotiations, we will be able to reduce our troop’s presence and focus on counterterrorism. And we will indeed focus on counterterrorism. We do not know whether we will achieve an agreement, but we do know that, after two decades of war, the hour has come to at least try for peace.”

SOTU response: 2018 Georgia gubernatorial candidate Stacey Abrams (D)

PBS, "Stacey Abrams delivers Democratic response to Trump's State of the Union," February 5, 2019

Stacey Abrams, the Democratic candidate for governor of Georgia in 2018 and former Georgia House minority leader, delivered the Democratic response to Trump's State of the Union address. Abrams was the first black woman to deliver a response to a president's State of the Union speech.[2]

Abrams opened her speech by telling a story about her family and their values—"faith, service, education and responsibility." She then said that President Donald Trump was responsible for the government shutdown, calling it a stunt "that defied every tenet of fairness and abandoned not just our people -- but our values."[2]

She called on legislators to act in a bipartisan manner and "tackle gun safety measures and the crippling effect of educational loans; to support educators and invest what is necessary to unleash the power of America’s greatest minds." She criticized the Republican tax bill. She said, Rather than bringing back jobs, plants are closing, layoffs are looming and wages struggle to keep pace with the actual cost of living.[2]

She also criticized the Trump administration's handling of immigration and said that "Democrats stand ready to effectively secure our ports and borders. But we must all embrace that from agriculture to healthcare to entrepreneurship, America is made stronger by the presence of immigrants -- not walls."[2]

Abrams addressed voter suppression, saying, "Let’s be clear: voter suppression is real. From making it harder to register and stay on the rolls to moving and closing polling places to rejecting lawful ballots, we can no longer ignore these threats to democracy. While I acknowledged the results of the 2018 election here in Georgia, I did not and we cannot accept efforts to undermine our right to vote."[2]

She concluded her speech by speaking directly about Trump, saying, "So even as I am very disappointed by the president’s approach to our problems -– I still don’t want him to fail. But we need him to tell the truth, and to respect his duties and the extraordinary diversity that defines America." She then called for a "renewed commitment to social and economic justice."[2]

Designated survivor: Secretary of Energy Rick Perry

Secretary of Energy Rick Perry served as the designated survivor during the State of the Union address. Perry was in a secure location during the speech in case of an attack on Congress, the president, and the Cabinet.[3]
