Analysis
- Trump's upcoming address to Congress serves as a platform for him to boast about his achievements, often ignoring the power dynamics inherent in Congress and the reality faced by Americans.
- The likelihood of distortion and misinformation in Trump's speech looms large, especially regarding economic issues and his foreign policy stances, which may not reflect the true grievances of the public.
- There is a pattern of Trump attempting to rewrite his narrative, implying major successes despite often contradictory evidence, all while he seeks to portray himself as the central hero in the American story.
