Trump plans to call for \u201cunity\u201d in his State of the Union address tonight. But, we\u2019ve heard this disingenuous rhetoric before. The president has used nearly every major speech of his presidency to call for \u201cunity,\u201d only to quickly retreat to his same divisive attacks and policies as soon as he is off the teleprompter.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Trump called for living \u201ctogether in unity\u201d in his Inaugural Address, then he issued his Muslim Ban a week later.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Trump<\/a>: \u201cThe Bible tells us how good and pleasant it is when God\u2019s people live together in unity. We must speak our minds openly, debate our disagreements honestly, but always pursue solidarity. When America is united, America is totally unstoppable.\u201d<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

CNN<\/a>: \u201cTrump barred citizens of seven Muslim-majority countries from entering the US for at least the next 90 days by executive order, which a senior White House official said later Friday is likely just a first step toward establishing a broader ban.\u201d<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Trump said his Joint Address to Congress was \u201ca message of unity,\u201d then days later called President Obama a \u201cBad (or sick) guy!\u201d<\/p>\n

Trump<\/a>: \u201cI am here tonight to deliver a message of unity and strength, and it is a message deeply delivered from my heart.\u201d<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Trump<\/a>: \u201cHow low has President Obama gone to tapp my phones during the very sacred election process. This is Nixon\/Watergate. Bad (or sick) guy!\u201d<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Trump used his last State of the Union address to call for \u201cunity,\u201d then accused Democrats of \u201ctreason\u201d for not standing and clapping for him.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Trump<\/a>: \u201cTonight, I call upon all of us to set aside our differences, to seek out common ground, and to summon the unity we need to deliver for the people.\u201d<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

CNN<\/a>: \u201cPresident Donald Trump mocked Democrats Monday for their stony reactions during his State of the Union speech last week, saying that it was even \u2018treasonous.\u2019 \u00a0\u2018They were like death and un-American. Un-American. Somebody said, \u2018Treasonous.\u2019 I mean, yeah, I guess, why not,\u2019 he said to laughter. \u2018Can we call that treason? Why not,\u2019 he added.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
