US President Donald Trump has tightened the tone towards House Speaker Nancy Pelosi. „It’s very bad for our country,“ Trump told CBS News yesterday. She was adamant. Basically she wants open borders and has nothing against trafficking.
The background is Trump’s planned construction of a wall on the border with Mexico. The Democrats of Pelosi are against it. In the dispute over the financing of the wall Trump continues to consider calling the national emergency.
Gentler tones in speech before the congress?
At the same time it was announced yesterday that Trump wants to strike an unfamiliar note in his forthcoming State of the Union address. The address to the congress on Tuesday will convey „optimism and unity“ and in some cases even „visionary“, said a senior White House official.
In view of the bitter party dispute Trump wants to show an „inspiring vision of American size“. Whether the notoriously unpredictable president meets the expectations of his speechwriter, however, is uncertain.
