YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

Sen. Adam Schiff (D-CA) said Tuesday that he expects President Trump to present a misleading picture of the country in his State of the Union address, arguing the nation is at a tenuous crossroads.

"He will claim it that America is strong, prosperous and united, but sadly, he has made us weaker abroad, more divided at home, less trusted, less prosperous, less safe and less free than when he took office," Sen. Schiff said. "The state of our union now is not strong, thanks to him. It is fragile — deeply, deeply fragile."

President Trump is expected to deliver a speech highlighting his accomplishments, with a particular focus on the economy. More than a dozen Democratic lawmakers are expected to boycott the address and instead attend alternate events, including a "People's State of the Union" gathering on the National Mall.
