Donald Trump has an unpatriotic and pessimistic view of the future of this country. Fortunately, we have a president that doesn't believe that. Like FDR, President Biden has faith in Americans to overcome problems and build a better country. Here is how he finished his State of the Union speech:
The very idea of America is that we are all created equal, deserves to be treated equally throughout our lives. We’ve never fully lived up to that idea, but we’ve never walked away from it either.
And I won’t walk away from it now. I’m optimistic. I really am, I’m optimistic.
My fellow Americans, the issue facing our nation isn’t how old we are, it’s how old are our ideas.
Hate, anger, revenge, retribution are the oldest of ideas. But you can’t lead America with ancient ideas that only take us back.
To lead America, the land of possibilities, you need a vision for the future and what can and should be done. Tonight you’ve heard mine.
I see a future where defending democracy, you don’t diminish it. I see a future where we restore the right to choose and protect other freedoms, not take them away.
I see a future where the middle class finally has a fair shot and the wealthy have to pay their fair share in taxes.
I see a future where we save the planet from the climate crisis and our country from gun violence.
Above all, I see a future for all Americans. I see a country for all Americans. And I will always be a president for all Americans because I believe in America.
I believe in you, the American people.
You’re the reason we’ve never been more optimistic about our future than I am now. So let’s build the future together. Let’s remember who we are.
We are the United States of America!
And there is nothing, nothing beyond our capacity when we act together.
