随着参议院弹劾审判接近尾声，唐纳德·特朗普(Donald Trump)准备在周二晚上发表他的第四次国情咨文，共和党人敦促总统提供一个团结和积极的信息，避免更多分裂性话题，如弹劾和乌克兰。
“这是国情咨文。马尔科·卢比奥参议员说:“我只是认为你不可能谈论这个问题，那也不是外卖。”。"他有许多积极的事情要谈。"
特朗普将面临在一场正在进行的弹劾审判中发表演讲的不寻常情况，预计弹劾审判将导致他无罪释放。参议院将于周三下午投票，宣布特朗普无罪或有罪，因为他涉嫌滥用权力和阻挠国会处理他在乌克兰的事务。
“我们已经谈了这么久了。我认为他需要坚持议程，他会做得很好。)，直接向特朗普推销。“你成功了。让我们翻到我们家乡大多数人希望你做的那一页。”
但是特朗普的总统任期和往常一样远离政治。他是否听从自己政党成员的建议是一个悬而未决的问题。在去年的年度演讲中，特朗普无法抗拒谴责前特别顾问罗伯特·穆勒的调查俄罗斯干涉选举。
“如果要有和平和立法，就不能有战争和调查，”他当时说，受到民主党人的强烈谴责。

共和党参议员警告说，虽然他们更希望特朗普避开弹劾的讨论，但历史表明，他会选择做什么是任何人都可以猜测的。
参议员凯文·克莱姆(共和党人)说，总统“可能还不知道”，但这是“唐纳德·特朗普的神奇之处之一”
“每个人都应该知道特朗普会成为特朗普。如果我在写演讲稿，我不会把它包括在内，但我不会写演讲稿，”克莱姆说。“我不会这么做，因为我不是唐纳德·特朗普，但唐纳德·特朗普已经挑战传统政治——相当成功——三年多了...我想让他谈谈他对美国的愿景和不可思议的成就，我们能够一起做的事情，以及我们能够一起做的一切。”
琼尼·恩斯特(爱荷华州共和党人)敦促特朗普“对他取得的所有了不起的成就有一个非常明确的信息”。她说，这包括一个强大的经济，或者把重点放在基础设施和军队上，把他的信息集中在团结上。
参议院共和党领导层成员恩斯特说:“让我们专注于能够让我们团结在一起的事情。”。“我认为我们真的需要一些能让民主党人和共和党人重新团结起来的东西。我们真的需要以两党合作的方式解决这些问题。”
REPUBLICANS TELL TRUMP TO 'STICK WITH THE AGENDA,' AVOID MENTIONING IMPEACHMENT IN STATE OF THE UNION ADDRESS
As the impeachment trial in the Senate comes to a close, and Donald Trump prepares to deliver his fourth State of the Union address Tuesday evening, Republicans are urging the president to provide a unifying and positive message that avoids more divisive topics, such as impeachment and Ukraine.
"It's the State of the Union. I just think there's no way you talk about that and that not be the takeaway," Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.) said. "He has a lot of positive things to talk about."
Trump will face the unusual circumstance of delivering his address amid an ongoing impeachment trial that is expected to result in his acquittal. The Senate will vote Wednesday afternoon to acquit or convict Trump for two impeachment articles alleging abuse of power and obstruction of Congress for his Ukraine dealings.
"We've been talking about it for so long. I think he needs to stick with the agenda, and he'll do quite well," said Sen. Mike Braun (R-Ind.), offering Trump a direct pitch. "You made it through. Let's turn the page to what most people back in our home states want you to."
But Trump's presidency has been far from politics as usual. Whether he heeds the advice from members of his own party is a question that looms large. In his annual address last year, Trump could not resist from railing against former special counsel Robert Mueller's investigation of election interference by Russia.
"If there is going to be peace and legislation, there cannot be war and investigation," he said at the time, receiving strong condemnation from Democrats.
President Donald Trump walks through the doors to the House Chamber to deliver the State of the Union address in the chamber of the U.S. House of Representatives at the U.S. Capitol Building on February 5, 2019, in Washington, D.C.
GOP senators cautioned that while they'd prefer Trump to steer clear of discussing impeachment, history has shown that it's anyone's guess what he'll choose to do.
Sen. Kevin Cramer (R-N.D.) said the president "may not even know yet," but that it's "one of the things that's magical about Donald Trump."
"Everyone should know that Trump will be Trump. If I was writing the speech, I wouldn't include it, but I'm not writing the speech," Cramer said. "I wouldn't do it because I'm not Donald Trump, but Donald Trump has defied traditional politics—quite successfully—for over three years now...I want him to talk about his vision for America and his incredible accomplishments, what we've been able to do together and all that we can do together."
Sen. Joni Ernst (R-Iowa) urged Trump to "have a very clear message on all of the wonderful accomplishments" he's had. That includes a strong economy, she said, or to focus on infrastructure and the military, and to center his message on unity.
"Let's focus on the things that can bring us together," said Ernst, a member of Senate GOP leadership. "I think we really need something that will pull Democrats and Republicans back together again. We really need to be working on a number of these issues in a bipartisan manner."
