Former White House press secretary Dana Perino, also on Fox News, notes Trump's line to Democrats that "there's nothing I can say that is going to make you clap for me."

"And then they proved him right," she says.

Perino adds that while no Democrats objected to the ejection of Rep. Al Green (D-Texas) from the House chamber -- and dozens more opted to boycott the speech altogether or exit the room quietly -- the party still showed it "still has no common sense, they have no ideas, and they have no heart.

"They couldn't even stand for the most inspiring moments of this speech."

Former Tennessee Democratic congressman Harold Ford Jr. weighs in on Fox News:

"I'd say this to my party: We have to win on ideas. The disruption was not a good look for the Congress, and as passionate as Congressman Green may have felt, that was not the right moment to do that ...

"He didn't really try to bring the country together with rhetoric. He really tried to bring the country together around stories about people.

"The real work will start tomorrow and we'll see how it goes, but congratulations to the president tonight."

Quick roundup of some of the political takes from tonight's speech.

Scott Jennings, CNN: "This was a HORRIFIC night for the opposition party ... Democrats came into this speech lost and defeated by Donald Trump ... it looks to me like they're even MORE lost and even more defeated than when the speech started!"

Jeff Blehar, National Review: "These speeches never matter - they are always forgotten by the end of the week - but by the terms they are typically judged this was clearly a successful night for Trump. His delivery (perhaps [because] he had to stick to a script) was a touch low-energy, but he still had his wit."

Brit Hume, Fox News: "If you ever doubted that Donald Trump is the colossus, the political colossus of our time and our nation, this night and this speech should have put that to rest. The Democrats seemed to be falling into trap after trap after trap as he recognized the people and celebrated the people he pointed to in the gallery, while the Democrats sat glumly on their hands through all of that. It was a terrible look. Al Green's attempt to disrupt the speech was a bad look for the Democrats. This was, I think politically speaking, this was pretty powerful stuff."

House Speaker Mike Johnson predicted that Rep. Al Green (D-TX) might get censured by the lower chamber for repeatedly interrupting President Trump's speech to the joint session of Congress on Tuesday.

"I expect that there’ll be a censure resolution brought on the floor to discipline him," Johnson told Fox News' Sean Hannity after the address.

"We have to maintain decorum," Johnson argued. "He couldn't behave himself. [It was] quite shameful."

Green shouted that Trump didn't have a "mandate," and after repeatedly bucking warnings to quiet down, the sergeant at arms escorted him out of the House chamber.

Sen. Elissa Slotkin (D-Mich.) called on Americans to be "engaged" during President Trump's time in office and be ready to come back in the next election.

"Just by watching you qualify as engaged citizens," she told those watching the Congressional speech and rebuttal.

Slotkin promised Democrats will try to be "principled leaders" that they can cast their ballots for.

Giving Democrats' rebuttal to President Trump's speech, Sen. Elissa Slotkin (D-Mich.) criticized the foreign policy approach he called "peace through strength," saying he stole the line from Ronald Reagan.

She blamed the president for "cozying up to dictators" by feuding with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky in the Oval Office last week — and not with Russia.

Meanwhile, she said, Trump is "kicking Canada in the teeth" through massive tariff threats.

CNN host Dana Bash compared Democratic outbursts during President Trump’s speech to interventions by lawmakers from across the pond during heated debate.

“This was more like the House of Commons than the House of Representatives,” Bash said shortly after Trump’s address wrapped up.

“Except for the clever accents and classy accents that we see in Great Britain." 

The CNN host argued that Trump “set up the Democrats as foils” and that Democratic lawmakers were “all to happy” to serve as foils “because that is what they're trying to find their footing on.” 

“The back and forth between what we heard from the president and the Democrats — it’s something I don't think I ever thought we would see in a presidential address like this."

Sen. Elissa Slotkin (D-Mich.) started her Democrat rebuttal speech by saying America needs "change" -- but that it shouldn't be "reckless."

Slotkin argued there is a "responsible" way to get the change done, repeatedly bashing Elon Musk and DOGE for being "chaotic" and making the country "less safe" through their massive cuts.

After President Trump's speech concluded, the Democratic side of the chamber quickly emptied while Republicans lingered.

Throughout the president's wide-ranging address to the joint session of Congress, about three dozen Democrats bailed on his speech at various times.

Several Democrats had skipped the speech altogether, but gaps in the crowd on the right side of the chamber (from Trump's vantage point) quickly piled up during his address.

Most of the Dems that left early did so quietly, while others flashed hand-held paddle signs knocking the president.

UC Santa Barbara's American Presidency Project has the speech lasting one hour, 39 minutes and 32 seconds -- the longest State of the Union or address to a joint session of Congress on record dating back to 1964.

The previous mark, you may not be surprised to learn, was held by former President Bill Clinton, who went one hour, 28 minutes and 49 seconds in his final State of the Union address in January 2000.

Fox News' Brit Hume: "This was the most boisterous, the longest, the most partisan speech I've ever heard a president give in this kind of setting, and I go back about, maybe 50 years on this.

"I also think it may have been the most effective."

In a remarkable sign of how polarized once-bipartisan events have become, Fox News' Bret Baier reports that Democrats on the escort committee, who were assigned to greet President Trump at the Capitol and help escort him into the House chamber "did not show up for that job."
