When President Trump journeys to the Capitol on Tuesday to deliver his first State of the Union address, some members of his party know exactly what they want to happen: As little as possible.
I hope the speech is uneventful in a good way, said Rep. Charlie Dent (R-Pa.), a moderate Republican who has previously criticized the president. Last year, he addressed Congress and that speech was reasonably measured. I hope that is what happens again.
But as Dent and others acknowledge, there is no telling how Trump will behave at any given moment.
That is particularly the case when the president feels embattled.
Tuesdays address will come with Trump under a cloud of new allegations that he sought to fire special counsel Robert Mueller last year. He also remains mired in low approval ratings.
