Yeah but I’m pretty sure the difference is just in what we call it, that technically a SoTU can only be given by a President who has been in office for a year or more.
There is nothing in the Constitution about giving a State of the Union speech at all (Washington simply sent reports to Congress every year). It’s mostly semantics.
The State of the Union address normally tells where the country is at and what the President’s priorities are for the coming year. I presume those will be something about how the media is really the Lügenpresse and his rallies get bigger every time he holds one, stuff like that.
