He doesn't even need to give a speech. The Constitution requires that the President report to Congress on the State of the Union from time to time. Until the advent of radio and television, presidents simply sent letters to Congress.
Neither does it have to be a single address per year. A president could make two or more per year, with each devoted to a single area of concern. A SOTU for the economy, one for defense etc.
And there is no reason why Trump couldn't go over the heads of the media and post his SOTU remarks on the White House website.

Trump needs to be ready for:
* Planted protesters
* Dem rep to shout out something about his taxes, Russia ties, or he stole the election
* Entire dem or many dems to simply walk out

There is a constitutional requirement for the president to give the Congress information on the “State of the Union” but doesn’t state a place or time or even how often. “From time to time” is the actual language I believe. I suppose the requirement could be fulfilled by simply sending them a letter but then that wouldn’t be very entertaining.

President Trump, be yourself. Both Democrats and the Republicans are totally worthless. What has the Democrats done. As for the Republicans, these jackass are worthless. Delay in the only thing they understand and meanwhile they just party. I'm waiting for bills from these stupid jackasses called kill Obamacare and taxes?

Sending a letter to Congress was indeed how presidents did it before they realized how much more fun radio and television could be :-)

Why are fascist “democrats” going to be allowed to attend? Trump is not their president. **** them and their illegal alien “guests”.

Are you a never Trump neo-con????
Trump knows what he’s doing. Don’t tell him what to do. Make them nuts, Mr Trump, by saying whatever makes them nuts and don’t listen to swampers either dhimmicrat or Beltway republicans.
