Pete Buttigieg throws cold water on Tr*mp’s 2-hour rant: “This president has made your life worse”

I can’t say that I watched it [Tr*mp’s State of the Union address] hoping that I would learn something. I guess I watched it because I’d promised to talk about it on television afterwards. Let me say this. I think the reason a lot of real people watch the State of the Union is they want to know what it’s going to mean to them, right?

You get done with dinner, you put your kids to bed, and then you tune in to see if your president can tell you how he’s going to make your life better, especially because this president has made your life worse, right?

A year ago, he was promising that costs were going to go down. He has directly driven them up. And it would have been nice to hear some indication of what he was going to do differently this time in order to have different results. But obviously, that’s not what happened.

But I think a lot of people around America, if they were hoping to get some indication of how their everyday lives were going to be better, then they’re going to be disappointed because at most, they heard the same empty promises that we’re used to from this president.

You know a great job for AI is to ask it to summarize it [Tr*mp’s 108-minute speech] for you so you can read it in the morning.Pete Buttigieg speaking to The Bulwark’s Tim Miller about the convicted felon president’s record-length State of the Union speech.
