On Jan. 7, House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-Louisiana) formally invited President Donald Trump to deliver his State of the Union address on Feb. 24.

Johnson posted a copy of the invitation sent to the president on X. In it, the Speaker praised Trump for his “bold action” and leadership and said the United States “stands stronger, freer, and more prosperous.” “Since his return to office, @POTUS has not stopped working for the American people and delivering on his promises. The best is yet to come,” Johnson said on X.

The speech on Feb. 24 will mark Trump’s first State of the Union of his second term.

Although he did speak to a joint session of Congress in March last year, technically, it was not considered a formal State of the Union address. Typically, presidents address a joint session of Congress early on during their first year before delivering State of the Union addresses to Congress in subsequent years.

2. I'm betting he won't have it actually in congress. nt

4. Oh he will

so he can invite all his J6 criminal hoods there to watch.

IMHO, not ONE Democrat should show up.

5. I think we're all too aware of what the current state of the union is.

Here's hoping there are some decent movies on MTV the night of Feb. 24, maybe some sports. I'll be damned if I'll tune in to watch trump tell me how great things supposedly are.

6. Oh you know it's going to be an epic Republican circle jerk.

9. The moment Trump starts lying

....which will be the first 10 seconds...the entire Democratic side should stand up quietly and walk out.

10. Have to see if I can re-schedule

my root canal for that day.

11. No thank you

I can get plenty of horse shit from my barn.

12. Oh boy, another lie fest.

No one should give that blowhard air time - he has enough already with Lie Social.

13. The memory of Nancy Pelosi quietly ripping up Trump's SOTU speech behind his back is a good one.
