WASHINGTON—President Donald Trump delivered his third State of the Union address on Feb. 4 amid growing partisan tension surrounding the impeachment trial. While Republicans believed the speech was unifying, positive, and forward-looking, Democrats criticized Trump as being divisive and insulting.

Trump started his speech by touting his past achievements, calling them a “great American comeback.”
