This year’s SOTU was short on specifics and policies, but long on the troll. It was a civics lesson for the GOP reminding them that he’s still POTUS for 2 more years and that he’s not going to let them off the hook. He’s going to hold them accountable for their malfeasance and misdeeds - and failure to act on a wide range of issues all while focusing entirely on repealing health insurance for millions of people who previously were unable to obtain it.
The GOP keeps looking behind; the President by his very oath must look ahead (protect/defend the nation).
