President Trump's Tuesday speech proved that Republicans, and more importantly, America, is back. In his record-breaking one hour and 40 minute address, President Trump showed optimism and a clear path for America's near future; something we never saw with former President Joe Biden.

From the outset, Trump struck a chord of triumph, stating proudly, "America is back." He went on to highlight his impressive first 43 days in office saying, "We have accomplished more in 43 days than most administrations accomplished in 4 years, 8 years - and we are just getting started."

Of course, Republicans (and anyone with half a brain) erupted into applause in celebration of Trump's swift action toward his vision for America. Trump's game plan for his entire speech was a consistent tone of positivity. The President celebrated economic policies designed to lift American workers, like the reciprocal tariffs set to begin April 2nd, 2025, ensuring "whatever they tax us, we tax them back." He brought up tax cuts for domestic production with 100% expensing retroactive to January 20th, promising, "The American dream is surging bigger and better than ever before."

Even Trump's message on immigration carried a positive tone, with Trump praising the Laken Riley Act for increasing safety by targeting criminal illegal aliens. This should have been the obvious point of agreement between the Republicans and Democrats in the room, however, the Democrats absolutely refused to acknowledge the positive effect the act will have. Not one Democrat cheered, stood, clapped, or even politely nodded, setting the tone for their behavior throughout the rest of the speech.

President Trump continued his speech discussing the new Department of Government Efficiency and his partnership with Elon Musk, which, again, drew substantial excitement from the Republicans in the room. In addition to drawing attention to the obvious slashing of federal (over)spending, Trump made sure to point out his mandate to eliminate 10 existing regulations for each new one. On this and several other occasions throughout the rest of his speech, the President's supporters jumped up and began chanting "USA! USA! USA!," and the Democrats continued to make faces as if they had smelled something gross and shout at the President like petulant children.

While President Trump's speech was full of great moments and should stoke optimism within anyone who watches it (and you absolutely should watch it), it was truly the poor behavior of the Democrats that stood out, at least to me. On several occasions, the Democrats waved ridiculous signs around that read things like "Save Medicaid," "Musk Steals," and "False," and shouted at and/or over the President while he was speaking. This toddler-like behavior drew heavy criticism from those who watched the event.

The ridiculous behavior of the Democrats reached a flashpoint when Representative Al Green had to be removed by the Sergeant at Arms for repeatedly heckling and shouting at President Trump during his speech. He even stood up and began waving his cane at the President before he was asked to leave.

This was the theme throughout the entire event: Trump spoke positively about the future of America and his plans for it, and the Democrats refused to acknowledge one positive aspect of any of it. Of course, this was all completely predictable on the part of the Democrats, so President Trump laid a brilliant trap for them. At one point in his speech, President Trump said, "I look at the Democrats in front of me, and I realize there is absolutely nothing I can say to make them happy or to make them stand or smile or applaud; nothing I can do."

And he was right. Trump spent the entire rest of the evening doing and addressing things that only complete and utter sociopaths would refuse to clap/stand for. In this one speech, President Trump took no less than three official actions as President that should have been easy for anyone and everyone to support.

Firstly, President Trump called attention to a young man named DJ Daniel, who is a 13-year-old brain cancer survivor who has always dreamed of becoming a police officer. In an incredibly heartwarming moment, President Trump ordered his new Secret Service Director, Sean Curran, to make DJ an honorary agent of the Secret Service, after which DJ's father lifted him into the air with obvious pride for his son as the Republicans began chanting DJ's name. DJ hugged Curran after the exchange. This, of course, drew substantial applause and celebration from many of those in attendance. But not the Democrats.

Secondly, President Trump called attention to Jason Hartley, who is a high school senior and the son of a fallen Los Angeles County Sheriff's deputy, who was working hard to get into West Point. After highlighting Hartley's accomplishments, President Trump announced that his application to the U.S. Military Academy at West Point had been accepted, which, of course, drew substantial applause and celebration from many of those in attendance... But not the Democrats.

Thirdly, the President announced an executive order renaming a wildlife refuge in Texas after Jocelyn Nungaray, who was murdered by a Venezuelan illegal alien. She was known to have a love for nature, making this action particularly appropriate. This, again, drew substantial applause and celebration from many of those in attendance... But again, not the Democrats. Are you detecting a theme here?

Other seemingly obvious unifying moments include the mention of and extension of sympathy to the family of Laken Riley (brutally murdered by an illegal alien), the celebration of the return of Marc Fogel (recently release from a Russian prison after being wrongfully accused), and the recognition of the family of Corey Comperatore (killed during the Butler County assassination attempt against President Trump). Despite all of these obviously heartwarming moments, the Democrats clapped, cheered, or even smiled for precisely zero of them, proving what absolute ghouls they all are.

All of the above being said, here is an open letter to any and all congressional Democrats: if your Trump Derangement Syndrome is so bad that you can't even stand and cheer for the cancer kid, go see a therapist. You are all horrible people, and may God have mercy on your souls. Thank you for your time.

For the rest of us, just sit back, relax, and enjoy the ride. We have a long way to go, but at this rate, Trump's promise of a once again great America doesn't seem so out of reach.
