It was a speech that was billed as bipartisan, but beneath the flowery language were the same sharp divides and disagreements.

Mr Trump has never really acknowledged his party's ballot-box defeat in the mid-term elections last November. By instigating the recently concluded government shutdown, he acted like he still had the political upper hand - even when it was clear to almost everyone that this was not the case. So this State of the Union address presented a quandary. How can a president reconcile himself to divided government while still asserting that everything is going great for him? For this president, the answer was to effectively shrug at the setbacks. To focus his message, where it counted, towards his political base. And to stick with the message that won him the presidency in 2016 and, he appears to believe, will keep him in the White House for another term next year.
