Unity in politics
A yearly tradition since the early 20th century, the State of the Union address has sought to provide a snapshot of our country at the time. No matter your political dispositions, President Donald Trump's address to the two houses of Congress on Tuesday, Feb. 5, was certainly remarkable.
