Yesterday, Democratic leader Schumer posted on X: "Trump said he will speak for a long time tonight, God help us. I don't know what he thinks is worth celebrating, the current United States is in chaos, all his fault! There's nothing to look forward to about the State of the Union address in 2026....."
The State of the Union has become a "stage for arguments," and American partisanship has no bottom line! Schumer and Trump exchanged barbs from afar, turning the State of the Union into a campaign attack show, exposing the extreme polarization of the two parties in the United States. Historically, the State of the Union was a platform for policy announcements, but now it has become a stage for blaming others. Currently, employment data is inflated, 90% of tariff costs are borne by the public, the government has shut down multiple times, and governance efficiency has hit rock bottom. The two parties are only focused on election calculations, treating people's livelihood problems as political bargaining chips, with the public being the biggest losers.
Foreign policy is repeatedly swinging, allies' doubts are deepening, and global governance is becoming more chaotic. This verbal battle may seem lively, but it actually exposes institutional failure. For the United States to get out of the crisis, it is not through mutual attacks, but by facing the issues and returning to governance.
