Democrats have long prioritized illegal aliens over Americans, but on Tuesday night, President Donald Trump got them to admit it on live television. Trump asked the Democrats who attended the ‘State of the Union’ address to simply stand up if they believed in putting Americans first; they didn’t move from their seats.
Here’s that clarifying moment. (WATCH)
JUST IN: President Trump tells everyone to stand during his SOTU speech who believe the first duty of the U.S. government is to protect American citizens, not illegal immigrants.

This SOTU makes clear how much Dems hate our Union.

The Democrats hate our country

We’re not sure what other conclusion observant people could arrive at. If it comes down to you or illegal aliens, Democrats say the choice isn’t you.
Posters, including Mollie Hemingway of The Federalist and Republican commentator Scott Jennings, say that Trump putting Democrats on the spot reframed the midterm elections.
Trump asks peopole to stand if they agree that the first duty of the American government is to protect American citizens and not illegal aliens. No Democrats stand. Trump pauses, understanding the significance of the moment heading into midterms.

Moment of the night: Democrats refusing to stand to affirm their allegiance to American citizens over illegal aliens. Will be signature moment of this speech. Trump nailed them.

Scott, that was a classic chess move—calling them out on national TV. It truly baffles me how they couldn't stand up for the American people.

I don’t know how much impact these state of the union moments have, but this is incredibly stupid. They probably should’ve considered standing for this one…

Democrats are so devoted to illegal aliens that they couldn’t stand up. Standing up for Americans would mean having to support ICE and the arrest and deportation of illegal aliens. That’s not going to happen.
Commenters say Trump outsmarted the Democrat Party on Tuesday night. It was live television, and the legacy media couldn’t rescue the Democrats on camera from themselves.
DJT is indisputably one smart man. He most likely assumed that the spineless Dems would stay seated and he could expose where their hearts truly lie.

Checkmate. 🇺🇸
EVERYONE got to see it, they couldn't edit

it out.
Trump knew this.
So many Americans saw around the
mainstream media roadblock.
It's why he set them up with his allegiance
test, he KNEW they wouldn't stand.
He toyed with them.
Devastating.

Democrats were trapped by their hatred of Americans. Trump just got them to admit it.
Posters say the ‘State of the Union’ broadcast couldn’t make the differences between the two parties any clearer.
Lots of traitors won't stand up for me!. That's messed up.

That contrast in the room is just staggering. it really helps people see exactly where everyone stands, literally and figuratively.

Perfect GOTCHA trap for all America and the World to see! pic.twitter.com/P62r5PES0g

Well, there’s no room for Americans.
Now the GOP can push the issue with Democrats and watch them squirm while refusing to say Americans come first.
Should be used in every political ad for the next decade. The Democrat party is nothing but a trash heap.

Now the midterms are sealed. I'd run that visual every minute of every day until AFTER the polls close.

The midterm TV commercials for the GOP will write themselves

Commenters agree that the GOP couldn’t ask for a better ready-made campaign ad for the midterms. Thanks, President Trump!
