How much "moisture" does Trump have in his first State of the Union address?

Today, Trump submitted a somewhat watery "year-end summary" to Congress.

On the evening of the 30 th local time, Trump delivered his first State of the Union address in a high-profile manner. National consultation is an annual report issued by the president to Congress at the beginning of each year, which expounds the situation facing the United States and the president's policies.

Simply put, it is a combination of reviewing the past and looking forward to the future, similar to the year-end summary before the winter vacation and the new semester plan after the winter vacation.

On the eve of the speech, Trump hardly tweeted, and I don't know if he was seriously preparing. Anyway, judging from the guests he invited, he is quite particular.

Traditionally, when reciting the State of the Union address, the president will invite a group of delegates from all over the United States to sit in the same box with the first lady to listen to the speech.

After selection, the guests are very "Trump" and can be roughly divided into four categories.

The "winner" in Trump's economy: welders who get extra income because of the tax reform advocated by Trump;

Opponents of immigration: parents of teenagers killed by illegal immigrants;

Military version of "American Hero": An officer saved his comrade-in-arms while cleaning up explosives in Raqqa, the capital of the "Islamic State";

American citizen hero: a fire technician who saved 62 children from a fire in southern California.

Although I took great pains to select guests, the tickets to the White House were wrong, and the State of the Union address was mistakenly printed as "State of the Union address". Some members laughed and said that they might get scalper tickets.

This will be the last year for me to buy tickets for the State of the Union address from scalpers.

Fortunately, after the mistakes were denounced by many lawmakers, the White House quickly responded by reprinting and distributing the correct tickets.

In this State of the Union address, Trump delivered a speech on five major issues: economic employment, infrastructure, immigration, trade and national security. * * * While the party cheers from time to time, the Democratic Party is black-faced.

According to the fact check in The New York Times, Trump's report card seems to be full of water.

In terms of economic achievements, Trump summed it up like this:

"Since the election, we have created 2.4 million new jobs, including 200,000 new jobs in manufacturing alone."

"After years of stagnant wages, we finally saw a rise in wages."

"Many car companies are building and expanding factories in the United States, which we have never seen in decades."

"We have implemented the biggest tax reduction reform in American history."

In fact, according to The Times, since the 20 16 general election, the number of new jobs in the United States has been about169,000, which is slower than that in the previous seven years.

The wages of the American people are indeed rising, but the rate of increase is slower than that at the end of President Obama's second term.

It is not new for car companies to set up factories in the United States. 20 1 1, Toyota opens a factory in Mississippi. During Trump's tenure, the employment rate of the automobile industry did not increase significantly, and it was actually lower than the previous year.

The recently passed tax reform bill ranks 12 in American history, which is not the largest. In fact, the tax cuts signed by President Reagan account for a larger share of the economy and have a greater impact on federal tax revenue.

On the issue of energy trade, Trump is also full of confidence.

"We ended the war on American energy. We also ended the war on beautiful clean coal. We are now a proud energy exporter. "

According to foreign media reports, on the whole, the United States is an energy importer, although it is expected to become an energy exporter in the 265438+1920s.

Since 20 17, the United States has become a net exporter of natural gas for the first time, but it is still an oil importer.

On the issue of infrastructure, Trump emphasized the importance of infrastructure and called on Congress to allocate $65,438 +0.5 trillion. He said:

"It only took us a year to build the Empire State Building. So it took ten years to get permission to build a simple road. Isn't that shameful? "

Foreign media analysis pointed out that buildings and roads belong to different infrastructures, and the time for obtaining construction permits is different, which is not comparable.

In addition, the time to obtain the road construction permit is not that long. According to the Federal Highway Administration, in the past 20 years, the average waiting time for applying for a permit is 3 to 6 years. Small projects like paving roads don't even take time.

On the issue of immigration, he has always opposed the current immigration bill and called on his own reform plan to restrict immigration.

"According to the current immigration law, an immigrant can bring an unlimited number of distant relatives into the United States."

In the United States, immigrants who have obtained green cards or citizenship can indeed apply to bring relatives, but relatives who apply for residence must be investigated for national security and criminal background, and cannot be brought in at will or indefinitely.

In addition, even if we pass the inspection and get the bid permission, the threshold for entering the United States is far away because of the upper limit of the number of people every year. As of June 1 65438+1October1,the number of people queuing exceeded 3.9 million.

On the issue of national security, Trump said:

"Last year, I also promised to erase the Islamic State from the earth. A year later, I proudly announced that the anti-Islamic State Coalition forces had liberated almost all the areas occupied by the executioners of the Islamic State, including Iraq and Syria. "

In fact, in the past year, under the attack of the multinational Coalition led by the United States, the entity of the "Islamic State" almost collapsed.

But in fact, when Trump was elected president, American-led troops had liberated more than 6,543,800 square miles of territory from the organization. Some critics believe that Trump just enjoys the fruits of Obama's policy.

It seems that the State of the Union address is just a year-end summary.
