Setting the record straight has never been so satisfying.

During Trump’s State of the Union address on Tuesday night, Democratic Senator Debbie Stabenow was one of several legislators caught with their eyes closed, leading to suggestions that she’d fallen asleep — much like Melania Trump’s guest Joshua Trump.

The tweet, from The Atlantic’s Edward-Isaac Dovere, was part of a humorous Twitter thread displaying various Democrats’ facial expressions in reaction to Trump.

Border Wall Donald Trump Immigration Michelle Lujan Grisham State Of The Union 2019

New Mexico’s governor literally runs through walls in response to Trump’s border wall

For all of the various responses to Tuesday night’s State of the Union address by President Trump — including responses from Stacey Abrams, Sen. Bernie Sanders, and Sen. Kamala Harris — perhaps the greatest was delivered by New Mexico Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham.

Immediately after Trump’s speech concluded on Tuesday night, Grisham tweeted the following video, which showed her taking Trump to task over his immigration stance and love of border walls by literally running through walls.

First Lady picks a student bullied for having the name ‘Trump’ to be her guest at State of the Union

When President Trump delivers his State of the Union address on Tuesday night, First Lady Melania Trump will be flanked by more than a dozen invited guests in the balcony — and one of them is raising eyebrows.

Most of the 13 guests scheduled to sit with FLOTUS are expected choices: a young girl who has survived cancer, the father of a fallen military member, a first responder, and a synagogue member who survived the Tree of Life mass shooting in Pittsburgh.

But one young man, meant to represent FLOTUS’ “Be Best” anti-bullying campaign, stands out for one very specific reason.
