'Throne speech' Trump: especially successes

washington - Donald Trump came with a patriotic message in his first State of the Union. It became a 'throne speech' in which the economic successes in America were listed and regular heroes in the honor were celebrated or encouraged by First Lady Melania Trump.

No less than 115 times, the president's speech (the third longest ever) was interrupted by applause, mainly from the Republicans in Congress. Most Democrats watched with a sour face after a year of argument with the president. Some Democratic Congressmen had even stayed away from protest.

Beforehand, the White House had reported that Trump would reach out to his political rivals. This was especially the case during Trump's call to spend $ 1.8 billion to kick back the American infrastructure, which Democrats and Republicans said should work together according to the president, who grew up in real estate.

Trump also wants to conclude a deal for immigration policy. He paid a lot of attention to criminal gangs from Central America such as MS-13, which is also active in the US. In his grandstand, at his invitation, the parents were victims of the gang and a border guard who was threatened with death by the gang members.

Trump also gave a blow to the American Football players who refused to stand for the national anthem and wanted to show that it is time to be proud of America again and show homeland love.

He also again warned the regime of the North Korean leader Kim Jong-un. In the room at his invitation were the parents of the American student Otto Warmbier who was taken prisoner during a voyage in the communist country and died shortly after his release.

Just before the speech began, it became clear that Trump had decided to keep Guantanamo Bay open. His predecessor Obama wanted to close the detention camp for terror suspects, but he did not succeed.

In the Democrats Joseph Kennedy III, the grandson of Robert 'Bobby' Kennedy, Trump was allowed to serve in a speech of reply afterwards. Kennedy, who has great political ambitions, discussed, among other things, the Russian interference in American democracy, which was not discussed at Trump.
