The state of the Union speech is a show of unity in the American politics where members from all of the government branches participate and listen to the president's speech, senate, congress, cabinet members, military personnel, supreme court justices, are the key personnel that are invited to the conference. Members from both parties participate.
Yesterday's state of the union exemplifies the divide in american politics, partly due to degrading american global scenario and partly due to polarizing nature of Donald Trump. In view of his recent market manipulations, he seems to have lost much of the crypto community support.
