Facing a divided Congress for the first time in his presidency, U.S. President Donald Trump called for the nation to “govern not as two parties but as one nation.” The call for unity came as the president delivered his yearly State of the Union Tuesday night in front of a joint session of Congress. The nationally televised speech was delayed for one week, after House Speaker Nancy Pelosi withdrew her invitation during the 35-day government shutdown. The president opened his speech Tuesday by describing what he called “an economic miracle,” with rising wages, more jobs and tax cuts for working families. Trump also said that “foolish wars, politics, or ridiculous partisan investigations” are the only things that can hold the country back. “If there is going to be peace and legislation, there cannot be war and investigation,” he declared. He was talking about the numerous investigations into his administration and his own finances.
