The theme of unity will resonate throughout President Trump’s State of the Union speech tonight. It’s a brilliant way to say to those Democrats who are boycotting his speech that THEY are the losers. It’ll be interesting to hear what Maxine Waters has to say after the speech because all we hear from her is, “Impeach 45!” The Democrats need a new playbook because Trump is way ahead of them…

 President Trump plans to declare a “New American Moment” in his first official State of the Union address to Congress, according to excerpts released ahead of Tuesday’s prime-time speech.

“This is our New American Moment,” Trump will say. “There has never been a better time to start living the American dream.”

The excerpts show Trump will tout first-year accomplishments like tax cuts, regulations rollbacks and more.

“Our massive tax cuts provide tremendous relief for the middle class and small businesses,” Trump says.

“Together, we are building a safe, strong and proud America,” Trump says, a phrase the White House says is the theme of his speech.

Gary Cohn was in on the process of putting together the speech and had this to say:

 “If I could unite this country, I would consider it a tremendous success,” Trump said. “I would love to be able to bring back our country in a great form of unity, without a major event – very tough to do. I would like to do it without a major event, because that major event is usually a bad thing.”

PRESIDENT TRUMP is expected to use his hour-long speech to extend an olive branch and signal a willingness to make bipartisan deals on second-year-agenda priorities like immigration and infrastructure, aides said ahead of the speech.

He is expected to focus on five themes during the speech, including jobs and the economy, infrastructure, immigration, trade and national security.

First Lady Melania Trump announced her special guests for tonight earlier today:
