Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez slams Trump's SOTU Address in the most effective manner (VIDEO)

Donald Trump gave the speech one would expect. It was devoid of facts, full of lies, and promoted hate and fear against the other.

Had the president spent more time on specific policies to help the American people, his speech would have been more effective. None of this was lost on Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.

In an MSNBC interview, she said the following.

And her comment was dead on. He was all about division , not uniting, and creating chaos and fear, because he knows the weak will accept and believe his lies again. His fund raising is probably one of the things keeping him afloat now that his donors are paying for, and not his re-election. That's why so many big donors he had are running away from trump and the GOP now.

I love her energy and she's right on substance.

I think she might benefit from a voice coach

He's good with the limited list of adjectives he uses, but there is no nuance there. It's always either MARVELOUS, BEAUTIFUL, BESTEST EVER, or horrible, disgusting, the worstest.

He's a salesman, and we're watching the real life Death of a Salesman being played out on the international stage in our White House.
