 President Trump on Tuesday said that Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer is "already criticizing" his State of the Union address, which is scheduled to be given in the evening. "I see Schumer is already criticizing my State of the Union speech, even though he hasn't seen it yet," Trump tweeted. "He's just upset that he didn't win the Senate, after spending a fortune, like he thought he would. Too bad we weren't given more credit for the Senate win by the media!" In his pre-address comments, Schumer said: "The president will say predictably that the state of our Union is strong, but the truth is the state of the Trump economy is failing America's middle class. The state of the Trump administration is embroiled in chaos and incompetence." 
"The president makes these off the cuff decisions based on how someone looks and we all pay the price," Schumer also noted. "Continuity and effectiveness of American government has been deeply compromised by the turmoil and turnover at the White House."
