The President of the United States of America (USA) is set to give his State of the Union Speech on Tuesday 30, 2018. The overall message of the speech is expected to portray Trump as a unifying factor in Congress. Trump is likely to reach across the aisle with the tone of bipartisanship as reported by a senior administration official form White House on Friday.
Overview of Trump’s Leadership
Trump is often criticized as a divisive party on some issues. Such issues range from immigration issues to tax cuts. An example of his divisive politics is, for instance, he took to Twitter to mock the Democratic Minority Leader in the Senate, Schumer as “Crying Chuck Schumer” whom he reiterated to a beating during the recent federal government shutdown. Barack Obama used his state of the union address two years ago to express his utter disappointment in the growing polarization in Washington. On the contrary, Donald Trump seeks to portray himself as a unifying factor witnessed by the improving economy and lower unemployment rates.
Objective and Theme of State of the Union
The same official went on to say that tradition implies that every state of the union should be about where the country is and where it is headed and probably what kind of country America aspires to be. He acclaimed that the state of the Union address is going to be different on Tuesday. He marked that the upcoming speech is going to be about building a robust, safe and proud America – a course that transcends party differences.
Donald Trump is expected to cover five principal issues:
- The roaring economy,
- Infrastructure plan amounting to a trillion dollars,
- Fair mutual trade with other countries,
- Immigration reforms,
- And national security.
Among other issues, it was difficult to ascertain from White House whether the address would touch on other matters like climate change. Also, whether the government will do to address the problem, or whether the President would move on the women’s’ initiative to wear black during the address as part of the #Me Too sexual harassment campaign.
Trump believes that although there exists a bitterly divisive view on immigration and border security that the Democrats and any other opposed member would agree to the massive efforts of rebuilding America’s crumbling infrastructure.
Trump is expected to explain to the minority groups such as Latinos and African American on how his politics have affected minorities positively.
