As could be expected there were many reactions, both positive and negative.

Hey Democrats, less than 5 years ago 54 of you voted to: secure the border, end the diversity lottery, spend $40b on border security, create 'merit-based' visas. #SOTU

Trump mentions the devastating hurricanes. Today, FEMA announced it is cutting off food and other aid to Puerto Rico. #SOTU

Several democrats are bringing illegal aliens as guests to the State of the Union. Instead of filling those seats with Americans, illegal aliens are getting priority seating.
Yes, you are being replaced by illegal aliens. Do you get it?#TuesdayThoughts #SOTU
What Democrats didn't applaud for:

Boycott Trump's State of the Union address tonight.
Let him see how utterly bad his ratings are!
If you will be boycotting the State of the Union, please RETWEET!
Spread the word!#BoycottStateOfTheUnion #StateOfTheUnion
I am calling for President Trump to #ReleaseTheMemo tonight during the State of the Union, so the American people can finally know the truth.

RT if you agree!https://t.co/iH7fmqUDt7
I went to the #SOTU. I wanted it burned into my eyes. If there's ever a moment when I'm too tired to keep fighting, I just have to close my eyes & see @realDonaldTrump , @mike_pence & @pryan applauding themselves for punching working families in the gut, & I'm back in this fight.

These six Congressmen are boycotting Trump's State of the Union. But they all were Members of the Congressional Black Caucus when Louis Farrakhan came to see them.
-- Ari Fleischer (@AriFleischer) 30 januari 2018
Farrakhan is fine. The elected President is not. That tells you all you need to know.
Today, Congressman Paul Gosar contacted the U.S. Capitol Police, as well as Attorney General Jeff Sessions, asking they consider checking identification of all attending the State of the Union address and arresting any illegal aliens in attendance.
-- Rep. Paul Gosar, DDS (@RepGosar) 30 januari 2018
I will be joined tonight by an honorable group of Americans. Sitting with me are heroes who have served our nation in times of need, families who have suffered at the hands of evil, and citizens who have embraced the American dream. #SOTU
