I'm Stunned USA Today Published This Op-Ed From a Dem About Trump's State of the Union

 

I have to admit, I was a little surprised to see this, but it’s not the first time a liberal publication has run something like it. USA Today recently featured a short piece by Joni Werner, a registered Democrat from Texas, who watched Trump’s 2026 State of the Union and ended up agreeing with nearly everything he said.

Seriously, Joni are you sure you’re a Democrat? She praised the president’s message as exactly what the country needs to restore the economy, and she was frustrated that so many Democrats refused to recognize the heroes in the room or give Trump the same governing courtesy they gave past administrations.

She wrote:

"I watched President Donald Trump's entire 2026 State of the Union speech. And I loved it! Watching it made me more likely to vote in the midterm elections. This was the first time I wasn't bored and actually agreed with everything he had to say. I appreciate his businessman's approach to the economy and tariffs. I loved that he celebrated the people directly affected by his policy changes and highlighted the wins of putting America first."

Joni also called out the Democrats for their behavior:

"I am disappointed in all the elected leaders who refused to celebrate the people who have been sacrificed because of the policies brought about by the Biden administration. The speech improved my opinion of Trump, and I believe he has only the best interests of the United States at the core of all his decisions. I do believe the changes he has made are working, and I wish the Democratic Party would give him the same courtesy they gave the Obama administration with illegal aliens."

She summed it up perfectly:

"Government needs to actually represent the people, not politicians' self interests and agenda. I am actually a registered Democrat, and I was ashamed of how congressional Democrats were acting at the State of the Union not giving Trump the common courtesy and respect the office of the president deserves."

Amen, Joni. And hey, if you ever feel like switching parties, we’d be glad to have you.
