It has often been said that President @realDonaldTrump has "the best words"; usually, Trump is the one saying this.
But, this week, as Trump (belatedly) delivered his second State of the Union address to a divided Congress, even the haters and losers had to be impressed.
Weighing in at 82 minutes, Trump's speech was far longer than most of his "workdays."
While much of it was as forgettable as Maroon 5's halftime performance at the Super Bowl, there was one line that has already withstood the test of time.
Echoing Richard Nixon's 1974 State of the Union address, Trump called for an end to the numerous investigations that are imperilling his presidency.
Unfortunately for him, this demand (read: threat) seems to have fallen on deaf ears.

Eric Trump made the laughable claim that his sister Ivanka has empowered women.
President Trump's son Eric Trump on Tuesday said his sister Ivanka Trump "has done more for women than probably anyone in Washington, D.C."
While speaking on "Fox & Friends" about Democrats' criticism of his father's administration, Eric Trump referenced a Washington, D.C., art installation currently open at the Flashpoint Gallery where guests are encouraged to throw crumbs at a silent, smiling model dressed to resemble president's elder daughter.
"These leftists called up a modeling agency, saying, 'You know what, I want to get a nice woman to come stand on a carpet, with a vacuum of all things, so that our people can throw food and crumbs to mimic a powerful woman who has done more for women than probably anyone in Washington, D.C.," Trump said.
"Think about that hypocrisy," Trump continued. "They label themselves the quote, unquote 'party of women,' yet they're throwing food, they're throwing garbage at a woman on a carpet holding a vacuum cleaner to mimic someone who really does care and who has fought so hard for women."
Meanwhile...
Don Jr. owned himself to own the libs.
If they gave out Oscars for self-owns, Donald Trump Jr. would be the frontrunner based on the tweet he sent Wednesday.
The president's son decided to question the patriotism of the dozens of women members of the House of Representatives who wore white to Tuesday night's State of the Union address.
Trump's beef? None of the congresswomen wore American flag pins on their lapels, based on the photo in his tweet.
Although Trump Jr. probably thought he was scoring political points among the base, things came back to bite him.
That's because another Twitter user found a very interesting photo of the Trump family also taken at the State of the Union.
Guess what: None of them are wearing flag pins either.
Stupid is as stupid does.
