At this time, the president and Democrats maintain a highly antagonistic relationship. Both parties are on polar opposite sides as it pertains to building a wall along the Southern border. Trump views his promised physical barrier as a commonsense border security measure; Democrats, by contrast, see the wall as wasteful and ineffective. They are also refusing to provide the necessary $5.7 billion dollars in order to construct the wall.
The Upcoming State of the Union Address
President Trump will deliver his State of the Union address tomorrow. Ordinarily, the president’s delivery of the address would have taken place last month. However, due to the government shutdown, House Speaker Pelosi elected to block President Trump from delivering the address.
