#1 The President took control of the camera during the speech. The timing was nearly perfect.

#2 The harvesting of 'stills' should be very productive. Hat tip to the camera operators who captured it all.

#3 Unlike most State of the Union addresses Trump's was not just a laundry list of programs to spend money on to buy support of every possible interest group.

#4 Democrats got badly beaten up. Trump looked presidential while Chuck and Nancy sneered and smirked like juvenile delinquents. Stacey Abrams was beyond pathetic. Occasional-Cortex sat on her hands like a petulant adolescent while Trump delivered good news about the economy, like she would have preferred bad news. All that is gonna create an impression on 2020 voters.

#5 When a NeverTrump neocon like Podhoretz says good things about a DJT speech something is up for sure...

#6 Bizarre because it wasn't Bush/Clinton/Obama/Bush/Clinton? Because we got somebody in office who thinks like a citizen instead of an overlord?

#7 Best State of the Union since Reagan.

#8 It's just John Pud-whoritz not getting how Trump works.

And I say this as someone who's developed a "show me, don't @ me" attitude toward Trump's speeches and tweets.
