Former honorary Rhode Island Donald Trump campaign chair Joe Trillo spoke to what he expects from the President Donald Trump Tuesday Night when his State of the Union is given -- and how he believes he can tap into Democratic and unaffiliated voters who supported the President, as he runs for Rhode Island Governor as an independent.
Trillo's prediction was on the mark. After the speech, the Washington Post wrote, "While the president touted accomplishments and claimed his inaugural year had ushered in an ebullient “new American moment,” he made no mention of the ongoing investigation of Russian meddling in the 2016 election hanging over his administration and fueling a great divide between Republicans and Democrats that was on stark display in the Capitol during his speech."
The New York Times wrote about Trump's performance, "Addressing a deeply divided Congress and nation, President Trump called for bipartisan efforts on issues like infrastructure and immigration."
Trillo also spoke to Pastor Marks Burns, Co-Founder, and CEO of the Christian television network NOW and top supporter of Trump, coming to Rhode Island on Friday for a Trillo campaign event.
