Trump's bipartisan pitch long gone; now he's talking treason

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump's call in the State of the Union address last week for a new era of bipartisan cooperation seems like a distant memory.

Now, he's calling Democrats "un-American" and perhaps "treasonous" for not clapping during that address — part of a larger trend of recent insults and slights as the president turns his ire on the opposition party for failing to go along with his plans.

His treason quip on Monday triggered an uproar among Democrats. The White House quickly responded that the president was joking, although Trump hasn't said — or tweeted — as much.
