So I'll ask again.

Is the president working to make life more affordable for you and your family?

You have to ask, who benefits from his rhetoric, his policies, his actions, the short list of laws he's pushed through this Republican Congress?

Somebody must be benefiting.

He's enriching himself, his family, his friends.

The scale of the corruption is unprecedented, cozying up to foreign princes for airplanes and billionaires for ballrooms, putting his name and face on buildings all over our nation's capital.

This is not what our founders envisioned, not by a long shot.

Is the president working for you?

We all know the answer is no.

Since this president took office last year, his reckless trade policies have forced American families to pay more than $1,700 each in tariff costs.

Small businesses have suffered.

Farmers have suffered.

Some losing entire markets.

Every day, Americans are paying the price.

In his speech tonight, the president did what he always does.

He lied, he scapegoated, and he distracted.

And he offered no real solutions to our nation's pressing challenges, so many of which he is actively making worse.

Tonight, as we watched our nation's lawmakers gather for a joint session of Congress, we did not hear the truth from our president.

So let's speak plainly and honestly.

And let me ask you, the American people watching at home, three questions.
