The President of the American Samoa Democratic Party Patrick Ti’a Reed issued a statement in response to President Donald Trump’s State of the Union Address on Tuesday night.
“Tonight we saw a weak failed President lie for the entire two hours he was on the stage. He doubled down on his failed policies of higher costs, greater corruption and endless chaos for the American people. He barely talked about the affordability crisis and high costs American Samoans face every day, a slap in the face to working families who are struggling to get by. Donald Trump has shown us all that he doesn’t have the will to change his ways or fix the massive problems he’s caused.
“Meanwhile Americans across the country continue to rise up and hold Republicans accountable for Trump’s failures. Today, Democrats swept three more special elections right in the middle of Trump’s speech, bringing our total wins or overperformances to 251 out of 281 key election since Trump’s election. We have all seen what Republican control of our government looks like and thankfully there’s an opportunity to change course this coming November.”
