The best commentary I've come across so far on Trump's State of His Greatness speech tonight comes from Ezra Klein. Here's just one paragraph of it…

I liked when he called on the country to "reject the politics of revenge, resistance, and retribution, and embrace the boundless potential of cooperation, compromise, and the common good." But then I remembered America is only 10 days past the longest government shutdown in history, which Trump triggered when he refused to compromise or cooperate with Democrats. And I remembered that Trump's acting chief of staff just said the president is willing to do it again.

And I remember Trump ranting about "Crooked Hillary" and beaming when his crowds started chanting "Lock her up! Lock her up!" This is the guy who's against investigation and revenge.
