President Trump painted an uplifting, “America First” vision for the country during his State of the Union address on Tuesday. Filled with recognitions of American patriotism and savvy political moves, the president pledged that America’s future “will be bigger, better, brighter, bolder, and more glorious than ever before.”
While Trump’s address was certainly as pro-America as it gets, there was something particularly notable about the speech that is unlikely to get a lot of attention. That is, many of the accomplishments that the president rattled off have come as the result of his executive action — and not from the GOP-controlled Congress.
