WASHINGTON – After President Trump delivered his State of the Union Address to Congress, Rep. Mark Green stated: 
 
“Despite the unparalleled opposition this president has faced, he has fought harder and longer than other president in modern history to keep the promises he made to voters on the campaign trail.
 
“Tonight’s speech showcased the many accomplishments President Trump has achieved in the last two years. Our country is better off today than it was two years ago. Our economy is strong and Americans are keeping more of their hard-earned money. The president has stood up to our enemies and is helping bring needed change to places struggling for freedom. ISIS is scattered and fears us.
 
“The president also showed us tonight that he is battling to keep Americans safe from drugs, gangs and violence spilling over our unsecure southern border. Deadly criminals and deadly drugs kill American citizens every year – securing our border would save American lives. He is fighting to lower the cost of healthcare and increase transparency in the industry to make sure every American receives quality, affordable care. And finally the president challenged Americans to defend life, even those Americans still unborn.
 
“President Trump showed leadership and clearly demonstrated willingness to reach across the aisle. Serving as a startling split-screen, grumpy Democrats used the night to cross their arms in protest. I am glad the American people got to see firsthand the shocking childishness so prevalent within Democrat ranks."
