President Donald Trump (yeah, I’m still getting used to it too) gave his first official State of the Union address tonight and it was… interesting. He spoke very slowly for almost an hour and a half, mostly disgorging bland platitudes and vague promises to do stuff. The only meaty policy details came when he talked about immigration, an issue he clearly has a racist boner for. The speech was punctuated by personal stories of the guests he invited, which he at times held up as shining examples and at others wielded like an ideological cudgel to batter his opponents. You know, politics! Anyway, as usual, the only entertaining part was the tweets. Here are a bunch of the best ones I was still sober enough to find!
