The AP article in question purports to preview President Trump’s 2026 State of the Union Address by sketching a caricature of the nation as “transformed,” of Congress as sidelined, and of the administration as lawless and out of touch. That narrative isn’t journalism — it’s a political opinion column masquerading as news. And it deserves a point-by-point rebuttal.

Let’s start with the most fundamental misrepresentation: the notion that America has somehow been “sidelined” by Trump’s policies and that Congress has been left powerless. That framing ignores both constitutional reality and Trump’s record.

It is true that Trump governs differently than his predecessors — but that’s because he sees the nation’s interests as separate from the interests of the establishment. Rather than bowing to career politicians, he uses every tool the Constitution and law provide to defend the American people and American sovereignty.
