President Donald Trump delivered his State of the Union address to Congress last night. I chose to skip it and play video games instead, continuing my personal 2026 goal of prioritizing self-care. Meanwhile, loyal supporters like Scott Jennings and Trump adviser Stephen Miller praised the speech, especially a moment where the president tried to frame Democrats as unpatriotic for not standing in support of ICE actions.
“If you agree with this statement, then stand up and show your support: The first duty of the American government is to protect American citizens, not illegal aliens,” Trump told Congress. His allies treated it like a master stroke online. “Will be the signature moment of this speech,” Jennings posted. “Trump nailed them.”
Miller, however, took things much further—like that one friend at a party who promises to be relaxed and then launches into a long rant about obscure game rules from decades ago. “Democrats declared to the world their burning contempt for and deep disloyalty to the true citizens of the United States,” he wrote. “They were urged again and again to stand. They refused. It was a moment that sends chills and will be remembered for a thousand years.”
That dramatic tone fit the same person who was recently seen dancing to “Ice Ice Baby” at Mar-a-Lago just hours before his wife announced their fourth child. In response, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez fired back: “Why does this guy always talk like a World of Warcraft NPC?”
“Wow…didn’t expect to catch that stray today,” replied veteran Blizzard Entertainment designer Chadd Nervig in the comments. Formerly a developer on World of Warcraft, Nervig now works on Hearthstone, which has famously turned some of the MMO’s most iconic NPCs into collectible cards.
It would all be much funnier if Miller weren’t constantly working himself into a fury over policies that affect real people’s lives.
