The amazing Dani Bostick (@danibostick) live tweeted the State of the Union Address tonight in Latin. For those off twitter (or off TV), here are her tweets.
semper dicitur Maniculam consularem videri cum scripta verba bene legit.
si Manicula orationem non legerit, sermo non cohaerebit quod totam civitatem se consulem annis duobus declaravisse continiter dicent et de muro clamabit. #SOTU #SOTU2019 #LatinSOTU

Omnes sedent dum Trump de concordia loquit. Omnes surgunt et plaudunt.
Dicit sua verba neque Republicana neque Democratica esse, sed sententias ab omnibus amatas. #SOTU #LatinSOTU #SOTU2019
