Senator Moreno praises Trump speech; shames Democrat antics; says GOP unity will get the budget done
Senator Bernie Moreno lavished praise on President Donald Trump’s March 4 address to Congress, calling it a “masterful display of leadership” that laid out a clear, conservative vision for America. He highlighted Trump’s tariff policies—25% on Canada and Mexico, 10% more on China—as a “stroke of genius” to protect American workers, echoing his own trade stance and pointing to Trump’s claim that “whatever they tariff us, we tariff them” would bring jobs back to Ohio.
He lauded Trump’s border security wins, citing the reported drop in illegal crossings and the $300 billion Budget Resolution allocation, reinforcing Trump’s quip, “You didn’t need legislation to secure the border—you just needed a new president.”
Moreno sharply criticized Democrats’ behavior during the speech, calling their refusal to stand for non-partisan tributes—like those to DJ Daniel, crime victims’ families (e.g., Corey Comperatore, Stephanie Diller), and military heroes—“shameful and disgraceful.”
Turning to the House Budget Resolution, Moreno expressed strong optimism about its Senate passage, crediting Trump as “the lead dealmaker” whose influence would unify the GOP. He noted the resolution’s $4.5 trillion in tax cuts and $2 trillion in spending reductions as aligning with Trump’s agenda, dismissing the Senate’s “two-bill” hesitancy by asserting Trump’s negotiation prowess—evident in his 1-hour-40-minute speech—would “get it done big and beautiful,” ensuring conservative priorities prevail despite a slim majority.
