'We will never let socialism destroy American healthcare' - Trump. More from SOTU2020 SOTU:
WASHINGTON - U.S. President Donald Trump, emerging from the shadow of impeachment, faced Democratic lawmakers who seek to toss him from office on Tuesday at a State of the Union speech he used to belittle his opponents and tout the U.S. economy.
Seeing U.S. House of Representatives Speaker Nancy Pelosi for the first time since she stormed out of a White House meeting four months ago, he declined to shake her outstretched hand as he gave her a copy of the speech. Democrats sat silently and some could be seen shaking their heads as Trump declared, “The state of our union is stronger than ever before.”
