WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump took the stage for his State of the Union speech in an unfamiliar position: With the wind at his back. For most of his three years in office, Trump has been surrounded by tumult, much of it of his own making, resulting ultimately in his impeachment by the House of Representatives. All of it brought out the showman in the former reality TV star during his State of the Union speech on Tuesday night. Along that line, for much of the speech, Trump appeared to be making an overt appeal to suburban voters who could decide his fate. In his speech to Congress, Trump did not address the most polarizing topic in the room, the months-long attempt by Democrats to remove him from office.
