Speaking before a deeply divided nation Tuesday night, U.S. President Donald Trump鈥檚 first State of the Union address attempted to strike an optimistic and conciliatory tone.

But on the sideline of the largely self-congratulatory speech, disunion was on full display:

STATE OF THE UNIOM?
Things were already off to a rocky start for the address, with lawmakers鈥� partners and guests initially receiving tickets to the 鈥淪tate of the Uniom.鈥� After the typo was caught, invitations were reissued.

PROTESTS
Hundreds of protesters met Trump鈥檚 motorcade as he travelled from the White House to the United States Capitol, bellowing 鈥榖oos鈥� and anti-Trump chants.

FIRST SOLO LADY
Breaking with longstanding tradition, First Lady Melania Trump arrived without her husband Tuesday night. Dressed in a white pantsuit, she wore a broad smile when she entered the House of Representatives chamber and got her own standing ovation. Meanwhile, allegations that the president had an affair with an adult film actress appeared to be put to rest Tuesday night when the porn star 鈥� Stormy Daniels 鈥� denied any affair took place. The Trumps have not been seen together in public since New Year's Eve.

DEMOCRATS
While some Democrats boycotted the speech, some female Democratic lawmakers came dressed in black to protest sexual misconduct. More than 20 Democrats also invited 鈥淒reamers鈥� -- immigrants brought to the U.S. illegally as children -- as their guests, representing the roughly 700,000 young people who could face deportation to countries they have little or no ties to. The majority of Democrats also failed to stand and applaud during the speech鈥檚 more politicized moments.

SUPREMELY STOOD UP
Only four Supreme Court justices attended, including Trump鈥檚 stony faced appointee, Neil Gorsuch. Most notably absent was Ruth Bader Ginsburg -- the court鈥檚 oldest, and perhaps most progressive judge -- who been a vociferous Trump critic.

STARS STAND UP
A roster of celebrities, including Mark Ruffalo, Cynthia Nixon and Michael Moore, gathered in New York City on Tuesday night for a 鈥淧eople's State of the Union鈥� -- an anti-Trump speech-filled alternative to the address in Washington, D.C.

DEMOCRATIC DEBRIEF
With midterm elections coming in November, Democrats enlisted Massachusetts representative Joe Kennedy -- the grandson of Robert F. Kennedy -- to deliver a post-address response. Kennedy championed the Democrats as the party capable of healing America鈥檚 divide.
