“Presidents use this type of speech to tout their accomplishments, propose a laundry list of policy proposals and prod Congress into acting,” he said. “Trump’s speech likely won’t try to reinvent the wheel regarding the structure, and he never misses an opportunity to boast of his accomplishments.”
