What to Look for During Trump's Address to Congress Tonight

Democrats are bringing specific guests to make a statement about Trump's recent executive orders.

Below is what happened on Trump's 27th day in office. You can find out what damage was done every other day so far on the Saddest Calendar on the Internet.

Trump will deliver his first address to a joint session of Congress tonight. Though technically not a State of the Union, the president is expected to use the address to explain his policy agenda and touch on his objectively rocky first month as president. The speech will likely resemble a SOTU that delivers an "'optimistic vision' for the nation," according to a White House document obtained by POLITICO.

"During his first Joint Address to Congress, the President will communicate his vision for the future of the country directly to the American people as he moves forward with his plans to take on the many challenges facing this nation," the White House website says in an extremely vague preview. "Building on his inaugural address, President Trump will continue to lay out his agenda to Make America Great Again."

The White House document obtained by Politico also suggests Trump's speech will mention a promise to "sav[e] American families from the disaster of Obamacare" as well as "invite Americans of all backgrounds to come together in the service of a stronger, brighter future for our nation." Additionally, Trump will ask Congress to help him achieve his primary goals, including: a rebuilt military, a better workplace for working parents, and tax and regulatory reform.

What shouldn't go ignored during what will likely be another speech filled with sensationalist and condemnatory rhetoric is the presence and actions of audience members. According to The Hollywood Reporter, the Democratic Women's Working Group sent a letter to colleagues asking them to wear white, the color associated with the women's suffrage movement, "to stand in solidarity with the women of our nation." But their presence won't be the most controversial of the night.

According to CNN, "several relatives of people killed by undocumented migrants will be in First Lady Melania Trump's box on the House balcony for the address," including Jamiel Shaw Sr., whose teenage son was shot by an undocumented immigrant, and the widows of two California police officers who were killed on duty in 2014.

To counter this, a handful of Democratic Congress members have pledged their intention to bring immigrants to the address. Nydia Velazquez (D-NY), for example, announced that she had invited Hameed Darweesh, an Iraqi immigrant who had put his life at risk working with the US military and government for a decade, who was detained at John F. Kennedy International Airport after the Muslim Ban executive order. Democratic Senators from Illinois are following suit: Dick Durbin will host Aaima Sayed, a medical student and legal resident status under Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals, and Luis Gutiérrez is bringing "a woman, a Muslim, an immigration lawyer who works with clients targeted by the Muslim Ban, and the daughter of refugees from Gaza," according a Medium post he wrote yesterday.
