On February 5th, President Donald Trump gave his State of the Union Address for 2019. The speech started on a rather bipartisan note with Trump stating, “Victory is not winning for our party, victory is winning for our country.” Next, Trump said that America was currently experiencing an economic boom, causing the unemployment rate to drop to 4%. Also, he talked about the prison sentencing reform. This act changed laws with punishments that disproportionately affected the African-American community.

A large part of Trump’s State of the union address was about border security. He demanded that Congress fund a border wall between the United States and Mexico. Trump expressed a negative feeling to a recent law passed in New York that allowed abortion after 24 weeks of pregnancy if the fetus was not viable or the woman's health was in danger, asking Congress to prohibit late-term abortion entirely. Lastly, Trump talks about relations with North Korea, stating that if he had not been elected president, there would most likely had been a war waged.
