Errol Louis: Behind the Reaganesque pose, the same old petty Trump
President Trump did his best imitation of Ronald Reagan at the State of the Union address, falling just short of declaring it "Morning in America," the iconic imagery and message of a campaign ad that Reagan rode to re-election in 1984. Trump talked of Americans as pioneers and explorers; he lavished praise on members of the military, several of whom he recognized from the podium; he optimistically declared that the best is yet to come.
It was a masterful performance -- but behind the sunny smile was the same old Trump: petty, angry, vindictive and deceptive. He refused to shake the hand of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, a snub she returned in kind by ostentatiously ripping up her copy of the President's speech at the conclusion of the address, in full view of the cameras.
He falsely claimed to have created more jobs than his predecessor, despite the fact that the 227,000 jobs a month created in the last three years of President Barack Obama's term easily outpaces the 191,000 jobs per month of the Trump years.
And while the President never mentioned the fact of his impeachment or that he is on trial in the Senate, Gov. Gretchen Whitmer of Michigan, delivering the Democratic response, pointedly brought the subject up. "As we witness the impeachment process in Washington, there are some things each of us -- no matter our party -- should demand," she said. "The truth matters. Facts matter. And no one should be above the law."
We should expect more of this dynamic as the campaign season heats up. Trump is trying to make the case that great things lie ahead, and that only he can deliver them. Democrats will be there saying "not so fast."
