Puget Sound Gives Trump State Of The Union Mixed Reviews

SEATTLE, WA - Reaction to President Donald Trump's first State of the Union address Tuesday has been mixed among Puget Sound residents. After the speech, Patch asked readers to give Trump a letter grade. As you might guess, the reviews tended toward extremes - either and A or an F from most reviewers.

Here's a sample of what local residents said about the State of the Union 2018:

"Kindergarten" - Debby Arkell, Renton

"It was staged just much different but I really felt like listening and I'm proud to say his out President." - Wendi Marshall, Enumclaw

" Flunk, since when has coal been clean?" - DeeDee Bruce, Bonney Lake

"A" - Alyssa Johnson Farinella, Fall City

"F" - Cyndi Randall, Enumclaw

"A for Amazing." - Zoe Kaiser, Gig Harbor

"A+++++!!!!" - Mary Markle, Gig Harbor

"Not bad for a bad for a bad speaker. He could have touched on all the shootings that have occurred. It would have been a bit shorter if he could say more than a sentence before he let the crowd stand and applaud. It also would have been nice if he could tone down the pose after every sentence while half of them stood for applause." - Allen Battaglia, Kirkland

"A+++" - Beth Knorr, Kirkland

"I couldn’t even bring myself to watch it, I am disgusted that he is the president of the United States." - Andrea Pankonin, Sumner

"A+ - it was refreshing to celebrate tangible successes and hear actionable solutions that I know will be put into action!" - Lyle Welsh, Renton

"An A-" - Jim Samuelson, University Place

"I don’t care if he claims to fart rose petals. He and his admin are corrupt. They need to go." - Maj. Watson Binkley, Woodinville
