Conclusiones del discurso sobre el Estado de la Unión de Donald Trump

El presidente Donald Trump pronunció el primer discurso sobre el Estado de la Unión de su segundo mandato la noche del martes en el Capitolio de Estados Unidos.

El discurso llega poco después de que la Corte Suprema anulara sus aranceles globales emblemáticos, mientras considera una segunda ronda de posibles ataques militares contra Irán y mientras su fortuna política parece estar tan baja como nunca antes en cualquiera de sus dos mandatos.

Aquí hay algunas conclusiones tempranas de su discurso.

Trump ha luchado por detener su declive político en los últimos meses. Pero mientras trataba de enmarcar la elección de 2026 la noche del martes, recurrió a un viejo recurso: la inmigración.

Después de señalar a las “madres ángel” cuyos hijos fueron víctimas de inmigrantes indocumentados, Trump dijo que votar por los demócratas sería votar para reabrir las fronteras de Estados Unidos.

“Nunca podemos olvidar que muchos en esta sala no solo permitieron que ocurriera la invasión fronteriza antes de que yo me involucrara, sino que de hecho lo harían de nuevo si alguna vez tuvieran la oportunidad”, dijo.

Trump luego hizo algo que le encanta hacer en estos discursos: desafiar a los demócratas a decidir si aplaudir o no.

Instó a los miembros a ponerse de pie y mostrar su apoyo si estaban de acuerdo con la afirmación de que “el primer deber del Gobierno estadounidense es proteger a los ciudadanos estadounidenses, no a los extranjeros ilegales”.

Los demócratas permanecieron sentados.

Mientras tanto, los republicanos buscaron enfatizar el momento, poniéndose de pie y aplaudiendo durante mucho tiempo para mostrar el contraste.

Finalmente, Trump habló de nuevo y les dijo a los demócratas: “Deberían avergonzarse de no ponerse de pie”. Las representantes demócratas Rashida Tlaib de Michigan e Ilhan Omar de Minnesota le gritaron a Trump, a pesar de que los líderes demócratas previamente habían advertido a sus miembros contra las protestas.

Trump a menudo recurre a la inmigración en años electorales. El tema ya no es tan fuerte para él como antes, y de hecho está bastante en desventaja debido a lo que los estadounidenses consideran, en su mayoría, acciones demasiado severas por parte de funcionarios federales en Minneapolis y otros lugares.

Pero las encuestas también muestran que los estadounidenses todavía tienden a favorecer al Partido Republicano sobre el Partido Demócrata en el tema de la inmigración.

Trump no repitió el enérgico ataque del viernes contra la Corte Suprema de EE.UU. por anular sus aranceles globales. En cambio, se centró en afirmar que aún tiene gran influencia con otras autoridades arancelarias (lo cual es muy debatible).

Sin embargo, sí hizo algunas noticias en el frente de los aranceles.

Por un lado, comentó voluntariamente que el Congreso no debería molestarse en convertir sus aranceles en ley.

“La acción del Congreso no será necesaria”, dijo Trump.

Está claro que los aranceles incomodan incluso a muchos republicanos, y parece poco probable que el Congreso pueda aprobar algo de todos modos. Pero con sus autoridades arancelarias aún inciertas, que Trump no pida al Congreso que apruebe algo que tenga más posibilidades de ser legalmente válido fue algo digno de ver. (La Constitución, después de todo, otorga al Congreso el poder de imponer aranceles).

Eso sugiere que Trump no ha atendido la petición del juez Neil Gorsuch de que el Gobierno de EE.UU. comience a incluir más legislación.

El presidente también hizo una gran predicción.

“Creo que los aranceles pagados por países extranjeros, como en el pasado, reemplazarán sustancialmente el sistema moderno de impuestos sobre la renta, aliviando una gran carga financiera a la gente que amo”, dijo.

De hecho, al principio de la historia estadounidense, los aranceles era

Trump skates on Team USA’s hockey wins during State of the Union address

(CNN) — President Donald Trump basked in the gold medal glory of the US Olympic men’s hockey team Tuesday, spending roughly six minutes of his State of the Union address celebrating their victory after meeting with the team in the Oval Office earlier in the day.

His recognition of the team marked one of the few bipartisan moments of the speech, receiving lengthy, raucous applause and chants of “USA” — and proving that sports, even in a time of intense political polarization, can bring people together.

It came after some controversy following the team’s historic 2-1 Olympic victory over Canada. Trump regaled the men’s team by phone Sunday as the athletes celebrated in the locker room in Italy, inviting them to his address and even offering to send a military plane to bring them — and the gold-medal-winning women’s hockey team — to Washington, DC.

“I must tell you, we’re gonna have to bring the women’s team — you do know that,” Trump said over a speakerphone held by FBI Director Kash Patel.

If the women weren’t invited, the president said to laughter in the locker room, “I do believe I probably would be impeached, OK?”

The moment — and the players’ response — prompted significant backlash on social media.

Both the men’s and women’s hockey teams were formally invited to attend Trump’s address, according to a spokesperson for the women’s team. The women declined the invitation, citing prior academic and professional commitments. Trump said during his Tuesday speech that the women’s team would soon be coming to the White House.

But members of the men’s team climbed aboard a military plane, landing at Joint Base Andrews on Tuesday afternoon in matching navy American flag sweaters accessorized with their medals. They spent time with the president inside the Oval Office, with Trump trying on Matthew Tkachuk’s gold medal and joking he didn’t plan to give it back.

Tuesday evening, they played a starring role in Trump’s big speech as he introduced the athletes to drive home an argument that the country is “winning again.”

“Our country is winning again. In fact, we’re winning so much that we really don’t know what to do about it,” Trump said.

He continued: “To prove that point, to prove that perfect here with us tonight is a group of winners who just made the entire nation proud: the men’s gold medal Olympic hockey team. Come on in.”

In a dramatic entrance, the team arrived in the House chamber through sets of double doors into the press gallery and received a standing ovation from both Democratic and Republican lawmakers.

“That’s the first time I’ve ever seen them get up,” Trump mused of the Democrats.

Trump also announced that he would award the Presidential Medal of Freedom, the nation’s highest civilian honor, to goalie Connor Hellebuyck, whose performance was key to the first American men’s hockey gold medal since 1980.

“I will soon be presenting Connor with our highest civilian honor … the Presidential Medal of Freedom. Great athletes have gotten that — very great, the best, and I thought he deserved it,” Trump said.

Some of the team members were not in attendance, according to a spokesperson for USA Hockey, who pointed to the National Hockey League schedule, which resumes Wednesday.
