Not everybody was fooled by the speech:

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

Michelle Goldberg of Slate wasn't having any of it.

Watching Trump’s smooth delivery, I imagined it going over great with the minority that voted for him, and I feared that mainstream pundits, ever-eager to sound nonpartisan and reasonable, would praise Trump for pivoting from the divisive mode of his first month in office.

And, as I was writing this, many were. But those positive reviews can’t mask the fact that by the end of the speech, Trump was back to being his familiar foul self. Once again, he put victims of crimes committed by immigrants in the audience, a standard trope of his from the campaign. He announced that he’d directed the Department of Homeland Security to create an office devoted to Americans preyed on by immigrant criminals to be called VOICE, or Victims of Immigration Crime Engagement. Immigrants, of course, are actually less likely to commit crimes than native-born people, but that is immaterial to Trump, who has now enlisted the American government in a xenophobic propaganda operation. Had it not been for the stunt with Owens’ widow, the rollout of VOICE would have been the most debased moment of the night.

1. I did not watch the speech but told my wife before hand

the bar is set so low for this guy that just making it to the podium without falling down will be considered a monumental success. Best SOTU ever!! I expected nothing and from what is finally coming out from real fact checkers, that is exactly what he delivered.

2. +1, he didn't shit on himself and lied without calling someone fat so that means he's good to them
