As President Trump prepares to deliver what promises to be a triumphant State of the Union address next Tuesday, highlighting his administration's early victories, at least 12 congressional Democrats are planning to boycott the speech in a petulant display of partisan resistance.

Even worse, two radical leftist organizations – MeidasTouch Network and MoveOn – are hosting what they're calling the "People's State of the Union" on the National Mall as counter-programming to the President's constitutionally mandated address to Congress and the American people.

This shameful behavior perfectly encapsulates everything wrong with today's Democratic Party. While Trump focuses on delivering results for hardworking Americans – securing the border, cutting regulations, and restoring American strength – these leftist politicians and activists are throwing another temper tantrum because their candidate lost.

Same Old Resistance Playbook

Remember when Democrats used to at least pretend to respect the office of the presidency? Those days are long gone. Instead of listening to the President outline his agenda for making America great again, these radical Democrats would rather stage political theater on the National Mall.

The boycotting lawmakers and their activist allies can't stand that Trump is back in the White House, systematically undoing the damage from the Biden regime and delivering on his America First promises. From mass deportations to energy dominance, Trump is keeping his word to the American people – and the left is absolutely losing their minds.

Meanwhile, millions of patriotic Americans will be tuning in to hear from their duly elected President about the true state of our union and his vision for continued prosperity and security.

The contrast couldn't be clearer: Trump governing and delivering results versus Democrats pouting and plotting resistance. Which side are you on, America?

How is this any different from what they did during his first term? Same playbook, same disrespect for the office and the American people who elected him.

My grandfather served in WWII and never missed watching a State of the Union, regardless of who was president. These politicians could learn something about respect and duty.

Pathetic but predictable!

This is exactly why we can't trust these Democrats to put country first. They're more interested in throwing tantrums than doing their jobs!

Absolutely right! It's embarrassing that elected officials act like children.

Does anyone know if this number is higher or lower than 2017-2020? Just curious how this compares historically.

I think it was around 10-15 each time during his first presidency, so pretty similar numbers unfortunately.
