In this Jan. 19, 1999 file photo, President Bill Clinton gestures while giving his State of the Union address on Capitol Hill in Washington. He suggests the Trump administration should adopt the same tact, warning that if the president gloats about his pending vindication in the Senate,"it's going to be unseemly to everybody but his base." But if they feel compelled to mention it, he said there is a way to do so in an elevated posture that puts the president above the political fray.
Some of the president’s allies on the Hill have also expressed hope that the president will avoid the topic of impeachment and use his address as a forward-looking moment. President Trump, for his part, told Fox News’ Sean Hannity on Sunday that he’ll use the to"talk about the achievements that we've made," claiming that"nobody has made achievements like we've made."
The president will also discuss immigration and tout progress in delivering on his central 2016 campaign promise to erect a continuous wall along the southern border. About 100 miles of new barriers have been constructed near the border under President Trump, according to Customs and Border Protection.

The state of the union is that we are led by a criminal whom the Senate just gave unlimited power to. In other words we're screwed.
Who cares when it's occurring? Trump is still the President of the United States of America, you dolt.
What am I missing the flag always flies over the U.S.Capitol. Because of the State of the Union address it should fly at half mast.
The ImpeachmentTrialSham is about over. AdamSchiff is a total failure.
