Millionaires plan People's State of the Union speech

Fox News reported, "A group of Hollywood elites, progressive groups and social activists are planning a People’s State of the Union as a public alternative on the eve of President Donald Trump’s first State of the Union address."



The news channel listed the celebrities as Michael Moore (net worth $50 million), Mark Ruffalo (net worth $20 million), Alyssa Milano (net worth $10 million), Rosie Perez (net worth $8 million), and Whoopi Goldberg (net worth $45 million).

Now granted, we have a billionaire president, but the people elected him to speak for them.

No one elected Michael Moore dog catcher.

"They'll congregate at the Town Hall in Manhattan, the venue where suffragists met in the 1920s. Singer Andra Day and rapper Common will be performing the song, 'Stand Up for Something,' from the biopic film 'Marshall,' about the late Supreme Court Justice Thurgood Marshall," Fox News reported.

"Tickets were still available Saturday at $47 each."

Hmm. So the People's State of the Union is a commercial venture.

Cool.

"Monday’s event also will serve as a platform for the launch of We Stand United, the lead organizing group of the People’s State of the Union," Fox News reported.

So what will the PSOTU say?

That the stock market has risen 40% since we the people elected Trump president? That $9 trillion rise in wealth has helped stabilize many a pension fund as well as helping millions of working class people improve their 401k, 403b, and IRA accounts.

Will the PSOTU say that black employment is at a record high? That Hispanic employment is at an all-time high? That the unemployment rate is at its lowest in 18 years?

Nope, expect none of that. Expect We Stand United to instead try to divide us as it calls our nation racist, sexist, and genocidal.

You wonder why people would want to live in such a deplorable place. They should move to Haiti, which is not a s***hole.

And yet, here they are.

"Let’s be clear: Donald Trump’s attacks on immigrants are rooted in white supremacy. His racist wall is a symbol of hate," Millionaire Milano tweeted.

It is not that they are out-of-touch hypocrites.

It is that the media gives them far more attention and credibility than it does the actual people who voted for Trump.

Please enjoy my two books about the press and how it missed the rise of Donald Trump.

The first was "Trump the Press," which covered his nomination.

The second was "Trump the Establishment," which covered his election.
