Yeah, I'm originally from Northern Kentucky, Kenton County, but I'm a current political science student at the University of Louisville, and I'm excited to be here tonight.
Yeah, I think we continuously saw Trump reiterate time and time again that prices of eggs are down, prices of gas is down, insurance is great for all Americans, healthcare is great.
He's announced Trump RX, which is supposed to lower the cost of prescription drugs.
And I'm not sure what reality he's living in, but for everyday Americans, for me, when I go down the street to shop at Kroger and get my gas there,
It's way more expensive than it's been since I began college.
And so I think for a president who continuously talks for, you know, majority of the time about how great things are and how little the cost of things are, I'm really not sure what reality he's living in.
That's not something that the everyday American is seeing.
I truly believe, and this is sort of shifting the conversation away from the economy, but talking about honoring young Americans and then sort of presenting the Presidential Medal of Freedom to the male population.
Hockey player, hockey team.
I think at least in my friend group, that controversy with women's sports and the video of him on the phone sort of talking to the male hockey team and saying, you know, well, I guess we have to invite the women, you know.
that was really hurtful as a young woman, as a woman who, you know, has played sports and as a woman who looks up to some of these Olympic medalists, like Alyssa Liu that, you know, medaled in, in, in figure skating.
And so I think it's,
That really stuck out to me, and he really opened up the State of the Union address with bringing them in and sort of talking to them and offering the Medal of Freedom to the goalie.
And he said...
You know, we asked the team to vote, but my vote is, of course, more important than everyone else's vote.
And sort of in this whole conversation was, like, making himself very, like, dictator-like, king-like, you know, continuing the narrative that he's better than everyone else and that his administration is winning and he can continue to, you know...
outvote other people and, you know, do things without congressional approval.
And so that's just a common theme I saw throughout the State of the Union, but really opening it up with the Olympics that were, you know, such a show of American patriotism.
And I was proud to be an American watching the Olympics, but I felt a little sour taste in my mouth after watching that.
I absolutely do not.
