YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

President Trump stormed into the Capitol on Tuesday night to extol the first-year performance of his return to power, bash the Democrats as feckless rivals, and make the case for keeping Republicans in control of Congress in November’s midterm elections.

At one point, Trump asked the chamber: “If you agree with this statement, stand up and show your support — the first duty of the American government is to protect American citizens, not illegal aliens.”

Republicans leapt to their feet in lengthy applause, while virtually every Democrat sat in stoic silence. Trump noticed the distinction.

“You should be ashamed of yourselves, not standing up,” he told the Democrats.
