The President invited the most wonderful people as his guests and their stories were remarkable, sad, heartbreaking, and inspiring. We collected clips of these special moments and was able to get most of them.
His speech was perfect by the way.
THE SPECIAL MOMENTS
Janiyah
“The only victories that matter in Washington are victories that deliver for the American people.”
Fourth-grader Janiyah was given a scholarship this evening.
President Trump: “From the pilgrims to our Founders, from the soldiers at Valley Forge to the marchers at Selma, & from President Lincoln to the Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., Americans have always rejected limits on our children’s future.” #SOTU #SOTU2020 #StateoftheUnion pic.twitter.com/bBqslTytee

And here’s the petty little potentate Nancy Pelosi, trying to take down the President, ripping up the President’s speech:
Unbelievable. Nancy Pelosi just ripped up @realDonaldTrump’s speech. A speech praising all Americans, our brave soldiers, a Tuskegee Airman, a child who lost his father, an angel family, historic unemployment… and she ripped it up after Trump said “God Bless America.”
Evil. pic.twitter.com/gf2GKAcB0b
