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.
