Blumenthal Criticizes Trump’s Address

Senator Richard Blumenthal sharply criticized President Donald Trump’s prime-time address to the nation last night, calling it the most bellicose and dismaying speech he has heard from a president. Blumenthal said the tone of the address stood out more than the policy substance, describing it as angry and dismissive.

The Connecticut senator argued that the speech reflected a troubling mindset and said the rhetoric was insulting to the American public, even setting aside what he described as false claims made during the address.
