Trump calls for bipartisanship,
a hard line on immigration
By JULIE PACE and
CATHERINE LUCEY
Associated Press
WASHINGTON — Face
to face with emboldened
Democrats, President Don-
ald Trump called on Wash-
ington to cast aside “revenge,
resistance and retribution”
and end “ridiculous partisan
investigations” in a State of
the Union address delivered
at a vulnerable moment for
his presidency.
Trump appealed Tuesday
night for bipartisanship but
refused to yield on the hard-
line immigration policies that
have infuriated Democrats
and forced the recent govern-
ment shutdown. He renewed
his call for a border wall and
cast illegal immigration as a
threat to Americans’ safety
and economic security.
Trump accepted no blame
for his role in cultivating
the rancorous atmosphere in
the nation’s capital, and he
didn’t outline a clear path
for collaborating with Dem-
ocrats who are eager to block
his agenda. Their opposi-
tion was on vivid display as
Democratic congresswomen
in the audience formed a sea
of white in a nod to early
20th-century suffragettes.
Trump is staring down
a two-year stretch that will
determine whether he is
re-elected or leaves offi ce
in defeat. His speech sought
to shore up Republican sup-
port that had eroded slightly
during the recent government
shutdown and previewed a
fresh defense against Dem-
ocrats as they ready a round
of investigations into every
aspect of his administration.
“If there is going to be
peace and legislation, there
cannot be war and investiga-
tion,” he declared. Lawmak-
ers in the cavernous House
chamber sat largely silent.
Looming over the presi-
dent’s address was a fast-ap-
proaching Feb. 15 deadline
to fund the government and
avoid another shutdown.
Democrats have refused to
acquiesce to his demands for
a border wall, and Republi-
cans are increasingly unwill-
ing to shut down the govern-
ment to help him fulfi ll his
signature campaign pledge.
Nor does the GOP sup-
port the president’s plan to

declare a national emergency
if Congress won’t fund the
wall.
Wary of publicly high-
lighting those intraparty
divisions, Trump made no
mention of an emergency
declaration in his remarks.
He did offer a lengthy
defense of his call for a bor-
der wall, declaring: “I will
build it.” But he delivered
no ultimatums about what it
would take for him to sign
legislation to keep the gov-
ernment open.

ting with fi rst lady Melania
Trump.
“Together, we repre-
sent the most extraordi-
nary nation in all of history.
What will we do with this
moment? How will we be
remembered?” Trump said.
The president ticked
through a litany of issues
with crossover appeal,
including boosting infra-
structure, lowering prescrip-
tion drug costs and com-
bating childhood cancer.
“IF THERE IS GOING TO BE PEACE
AND LEGISLATION, THERE CANNOT
BE WAR AND INVESTIGATION.’
President Donald Trump
“I am asking you to
defend our very dangerous
southern border out of love
and devotion to our fellow
citizens and to our country,”
he said, painting a dark and
foreboding picture of the
risks posed to Americans by
illegal immigration.
The 72-year-old Trump
harkened back to moments
of American greatness, cel-
ebrating the moon landing
as astronaut Buzz Aldrin
looked on from the audience
and heralding the liberation
of Europe from the Nazis.
He led the House chamber
in singing happy birthday
But he also appealed to his
political base, both with his
harsh rhetoric on immigra-
tion and a call for Congress
to pass legislation to prohibit
the “late-term abortion of
children.”
Trump devoted much of
his speech to foreign policy,
another area where Repub-
licans have increasingly dis-
tanced themselves from the
White House. He announced
details of a second meet-
ing with North Korea’s Kim
Jong Un , outlining a Feb.
27-28 summit in Vietnam.

A
vaguely worded commit-
ment by the North to denu-
clearize. But the president
said his outreach to Pyong-
yang had made the U.S.
safer.
“If I had not been elected
president of the United
States, we would right now,
in my opinion, be in a major
war with North Korea,” he
said.
As he condemned polit-
ical turmoil in Venezuela,
Trump declared that “Amer-
ica will never be a social-
ist country” — a remark that
may also have been targeted
at high-profi le Democrats
who identify as socialists.
The president was sur-
rounded by symbols of his
emboldened political oppo-
sition. House Speaker Nancy
Pelosi, who was praised by
Democrats for her hard-line
negotiating during the shut-
down, sat behind Trump as
he spoke. And several sen-
ators running for president
were also in the audience,
including Sens. Kamala Har-
ris of California and Cory
Booker of New Jersey.
Trump’s
address
amounted to an opening
argument for his re-election
campaign. Polls show he has
work to do, with his approval
rating falling to just 34 per-
cent after the shutdown,
according to a recent survey
conducted by The Associ-
ated Press-NORC Center for
Public Affairs Research.
ATLANTA — Sta-
cey Abrams harnessed
the frustration of Dem-
ocrats on Tuesday with
a sharp rebuke of Pres-
ident Donald Trump for
abandoning
working
Americans and foment-
ing partisan and cultural
discord.
Just months after nar-
rowly losing her bid to
become America’s fi rst
black woman governor,
the Georgia Democrat
stepped onto the big-
gest stage of her polit-
ical career to deliver
her party’s rebuttal to
Trump’s State of the
Union address . She was
the fi rst black woman to
deliver such an address
and used the high-watt-
age event to blister
Trump on everything
from education and
school safety to being
out of touch with the
middle class.
But she was espe-
cially stinging when it
came to Trump’s role
in the 35-day partial
government shutdown
over his demands for a
wall at the U.S.-Mexico
border.
“The shutdown was a
stunt engineered by the
president of the United
States, one that defi ed
every tenet of fairness
and abandoned not just
our people, but our val-
ues,” Abrams said.
Her speech was
much shorter than the
president’s
hour-plus
address. And she largely
avoided the pitfalls
of others who deliv-
ered similar responses,
including Florida Sen.
Marco Rubio, who
broke from his script
in 2013 to swig sips of
water, and Democratic
Rep. Joe Kennedy III,
who was ridiculed for
his overuse of Chap-
Stick in 2018.
Still, a union hall in
Atlanta doesn’t compare
to the grandeur — and
bright lights — of the
House chamber, where
Trump delivered his
speech.
In choosing Abrams
to deliver the Dem-
ocratic response to
Trump, party lead-
ers acknowledged the
power and infl uence
of women — espe-
cially black women —
in anchoring the Dem-
ocratic base. Senate
Minority Leader Chuck
Schumer is trying to
persuade Abrams, 45, to
run for Senate in 2020,
sensing the opportunity
to fl ip a Republican-held
seat and bolster turnout
in Georgia, which could
become a presidential
battleground.
