President Donald Trump (Screen Capture)

(CNSNews.com) - President Donald Trump vowed in his State of the Union Address on Tuesday night that the United States of America will never become a socialist country.

When he said this, Republicans in the room cheered loudly and chanted: “USA! USA! USA!”

Sen. Bernie Sanders (Vt.), by contrast, sat in his chair rubbing his chin.

Here is what Trump said:

“Here, in the United States, we are alarmed by new calls to adopt socialism in our country. America was founded on liberty and independence--not government coercion, domination, and control. We are born free, and we will stay free.

“Tonight, we renew our resolve that America will never be a socialist country.”
