President Donald Trump’s address to a joint session of Congress made waves on Tuesday night for various reasons, and the reaction from Americans after listening to the speech has been mainly positive, according to polls.

However, a main storyline coming out of the address was how Democrats on Trump’s right during his speech wouldn’t stand, clap or acknowledge most of what the 47th president had to say, which did include targeting former President Joe Biden and congressional Democrats while defending his rapid activity since his inauguration.

If there were reactions, it was mainly to hold up signs with various messages, including “That’s a lie!,” “False,” and “Musk Steals,” among others.

Those actions throughout the address led former NFL punter and current CBS NFL analyst Jay Feely, a strong Trump supporter, to rip Democrats in an X post. 

“The vast majority of America loved @POTUS speech last night,” Feely’s post read. “Democrats continued to show how out of touch they are with our country. They couldn’t applaud every day Americans, even a young man going through Brain cancer, but they applauded the mere mention of giving $ to Ukraine.”

Feely’s point about the “vast majority of America” liking what they heard from Trump was backed by a CBS News graphic of a poll taken from speech watchers. The results read 76% of viewers approved of Trump’s speech.

Feely added CNN’s poll that asked viewers if they believe Trump’s policies will move the United States in the right, or wrong, direction. Of the voters, 66% said they would move the country in the right direction. 

Feely also brought up the “young man going through Brain Cancer,” which became a debated topic once the speech was over.

However, when Daniel was being lifted by his father, as his son showed off his official badge, cameras showed many Democrats staying seated and not reacting, which caused an uproar from many believing conflicted views on politics shouldn’t have impacted this moment for the 13-year-old. 

Not all Democrats were seated, though, as Rep. Laura Gillen from New York was spotted standing and applauding Daniel in that moment. 

One Democrat that stood unprompted was Rep. Al Green from Texas, who had to be removed from the event for being disruptive, waving his cane and yelling toward Trump during his opening remarks. 

A CNN poll, which surveyed 431 adults nationwide via text message, found that 80% of them deemed Green’s actions inappropriate, while 20% found them to be appropriate.
