I don’t see what is so offensive about the President addressing Congress (and the people that are watching on tv) about the state of the union once every year. I have no idea how it could be considered monarchical. I don’t get the problem. Of course, I will certainly disagree with a lot of what Trump will say tonight. But to disagree with the idea of the President addressing Congress and the country about the state of the union every year? I don’t get it. I don’t have a problem with ide of the speech. It is also tradition(since Wilson anyway).
