Full Display of Division: Trump vs. Democrats in Charged SOTU Night
It was a fiery and deeply divided night at the State of the Union. President Donald Trump delivered a highly charged address focused heavily on immigration enforcement, declaring that the government’s first duty is to protect American citizens. Republicans repeatedly rose in applause. Most Democrats remained seated. At one tense moment, Trump told lawmakers who didn’t stand, “You should be ashamed of yourself,” prompting loud responses from Democratic members including Ilhan Omar and Rashida Tlaib, who shouted back and challenged the president’s claims. Throughout the speech, partisan divisions were unmistakable — from immigration and law enforcement to the noticeable absence of discussion on certain major headlines. The president delivered his message. Lawmakers delivered their response. And America saw the divide on full display. Watch the key moments from a dramatic night on Capitol Hill.
