Donald Trump praised the State of the Union Republican Party response given by Sen. Katie Britt (R-AL) and he may be alone in his opinion that she was "GREAT," with his fans on Truth Social pitching a fit about a kitchen talk that one GOP operative admitted was "...one of our biggest disasters ever.”
While X was flooded with comments, many comparing her "deeply weird" speech to a Saturday Night Live skit, the former president seemed to be impressed.
On Truth Social, he wrote, "Katie Britt was a GREAT contrast to an Angry, and obviously very Disturbed, 'President.' She was compassionate and caring, especially concerning Women and Women’s Issues. Her conversation on Migrant Crime was powerful and insightful. Great job Katie!"
Supporters of the former president who responded to his post, could not have disagreed more with one writing, "Totally disagree. Didn’t need a bedtime story. We should have called out the lyes (sic), explained the bs bills, and hit hard that the border could have been closed by an executive order. Republican rebuttal sucked."
"It was actually pretty embarrassing. Her speech was okay. But her delivery was terrible," another added.
Truth Social commenter Maddy Fox fired back at Trump, writing, "I thought she was horrible. The affect was terrible. She sounded phony and insincere. Didn’t know whether she was laughing or crying about inflation , the border. It was a ridiculous response The Republicans will never learn."
"Gimme a break! She belongs reading books to children in a daycare! She was a terrible choice! Yawn," a user named "Grifter Spy" wrote.
Jake Roxen added, "She was the opposite of why people like and support you. She wasn’t authentic, and she talked in a manner as if she thought it would tug at our heart strings. Putting too much emphasis on trying to emotionally manipulate the viewers rather than just speaking off the cuff facts. My wife and I already don’t trust her, and this was many people’s first impression of her."
"She seemed a bit psycho, she SMILED the whole time talking about horrible things. That's crazy," Bill DaWall commented to which Cathy Meehan agreed and added, "Exactly! I kept telling my husband.. wtf is she smiling? Quit acting.. she was not a good choice. It was like a miss America contest...fake af!"
Another added, "With respect Sir, she was breathlessly weird. I felt her over-the-top dramatic presentation was spectacularly offputting."
