The State of the President

I'm not sure anything ever gets changed by these things. Trump sounds incoherent when he's not reading from a prepared text, boring when he is and inaccurate in both circumstances.

So far, I've found fact-check articles on Politifact, The Washington Post, ABC News, CNN News, The New York Times, NBC News, The Associated Press, ABC News, CBS News, National Public Radio and FactCheck.org.

They all seem to have found that most of his claims of economic good news involved either dubious statistics or taking credit for trends that began (and often performed better) in previous administrations. It's about what you'd expect of the guy. And every time he talked of the two parties working together, I found myself thinking he was saying "Both parties have to work together to pass my agenda."

Like I said: Nothing gets changed.
