  "textContent": "\n\n\nIn this Quick Take, **Ian Bremmer** reacts to President Trump’s State of the Union address, calling it “a rehashing of the greatest hits” with little new policy direction.\n\n* * *\n\nIan argues the real question isn’t the speech, it’s performance. “At this stage in the presidency, not great.\"\n\nOn the economy, Ian says that for the average American “they feel stretched,” noting that while markets are strong, much of the growth benefits only the top 10%.\n\nOn trade, Trump is doubling down. “The tariffs aren’t popular,” Ian notes, warning that higher prices are increasingly being passed on to consumers and that relief before the midterms looks unlikely.\n\nHis conclusion: The speech “has done nothing” to address the deeper systemic issues, leaving Americans and the political system largely unchanged as the midterms loom.",
