Melania Trump got flowers from a world leader.
“A true gentleman, the Hungarian Prime Minister presented a bouquet of flowers to Melania Trump.”
Donald Trump expressed great appreciation to the Hungarian Prime Minister. “There’s nobody that’s better, smarter or a better leader than Viktor Orban. He’s fantastic…He’s a non-controversial figure because he says, ‘This is the way it’s going to be,’ and that’s the end of it. Right? He’s the boss. No, he’s a great leader,” Trump said.

It has been noted that while President Joe Biden did not specifically mention former President Donald Trump in his State of the Union speech, it was quite clear that he was aiming the former president by denouncing him from the start as an opponent of democracy and the liberal international order.
Trump’s publicized live “play-by-play” response to a sustained torrent of criticism was plagued by technical difficulties and his peculiar unwillingness to respond with the same fervor.
The President referred to “my predecessor” thirteen times in his farewell speech before his much-anticipated November rematch with Trump, criticizing the Republican for his anti-NATO remarks and campaign of fake election fraud allegations that served as the impetus for the January 6, 2021, assault on the US Capitol.
“My predecessor and some of you here seek to bury the truth about January 6. I will not do that,” Biden thundered.
“This is a moment to speak the truth and to bury the lies. Here’s the simple truth: You can’t love your country only when you win.”
He slammed Trump for allegedly putting pressure on Russian President Vladimir Putin to strike NATO countries who defaulted on their debts and for Trump’s professed regret for the full-scale invasion of Ukraine in 2022.
It has been noted that Presidents typically refrain from making their State of the Union addresses sound like political rallies. However, it was immediately apparent that Biden was not afraid to criticize his predecessor on a wide range of home matters.
It is noted that one of the main themes of the speech was abortion rights, which is a topic on which Biden intends to vigorously campaign against Trump. Trump, who never takes criticism well, had throughout the address promised rebuttals on his social media network, Truth Social.
However, the live commentary ended up being an embarrassing flub as the website crashed before Biden began and stayed out for most of the speech, coming back only intermittently.
The app was spotty too, but Trump got out a few comments on Biden’s appearance and demeanor, criticizing his hair and a lipstick mark he spotted on his rival’s face, as well as upbraiding the president for coughing.
“He looks so angry when he’s talking, which is a trait of people who know they are ‘losing it.’ The anger and shouting is not helpful to bringing our Country back together!,” Trump posted.
