Retired US Army Colonel Douglas Macgregor delivered a scathing assessment of President Joe Biden’s recent State of the Union speech, stating that it failed to resonate with the American public.
In an interview with Neil Oliver on GB News, Macgregor criticized Biden’s address, saying it “did not touch people” and could not connect with the public.
At 77 years old, Macgregor is an experienced voice in assessing the political landscape in America, particularly in the lead-up to the November elections.
He noted that Biden is facing pressure to reconnect with the US public, especially with Donald Trump solidifying himself as the frontrunner for the Republican nomination.

Macgregor expressed skepticism about Biden’s momentum, suggesting that the president’s State of the Union address did little to inspire confidence or enthusiasm.
He also had reservations about Trump’s prospects, stating that he did not hear anything substantial from either candidate that addressed the country’s key issues.
Regarding Biden’s speech, Macgregor mentioned that while he read the speech, he did not feel it resonated with the American people. He highlighted concerns about the US’s support for Ukraine, stating that the current approach is unsustainable.

Macgregor argued that American citizens are more focused on domestic issues such as border security, inflation, and financial stability, which he believes neither Biden nor Trump adequately addressed.
Macgregor’s assessment underscores the challenges facing both Biden and Trump as they navigate the complex political landscape leading up to the elections. As the campaign progresses, both candidates will need to find ways to address these concerns and connect with voters to secure their support.
