JAKARTA - Virginia Governor Abigail Spanberger assessed that US President Donald Trump's claims of success in his state of the union address on Tuesday, February 24, were full of lies.

According to him, Trump has diverted attention from the real cause of a problem by once again blaming a certain person or group.

"In his speech tonight [local time], the President did what he always does: He lied, he scapegoated, and he distracted," Spanberger said in response to Trump's state of the union address, quoted by CBN News.

Spanberger emphasized that Trump failed to relieve the pressure faced by US citizens by not offering a real solution to the nation's problems. "Many of them are actually made worse by him," he added.

Spanberger reminded the importance of fighting against such divisions and lies during the November 2026 midterm elections.

Trump's state of the union speech was delivered before a joint session of Congress in the House of Representatives Chamber, Washington. The two-hour speech was marked by protests from partisan members and the expulsion of a Democratic congressman.
