Trump's First Address to Congress in Second Term

President Donald Trump's first joint address to Congress in his second term was marked by sharp divisions and contentious interactions. Trump emphasized his administration's accomplishments and plans, including imposing tariffs and reducing illegal immigration. His speech, lasting a record 100 minutes, was met with protests from Democrats, including Rep. Al Green, who was removed after interrupting the address. In contrast, GOP lawmakers praised Trump's address, viewing it as a strong defense of his policies. The event highlighted ongoing partisan tensions, with some Democrats holding signs and chanting in protest. Despite the controversy, Trump remained unapologetic, continuing his critique of the Biden administration and pledging further actions to reshape U.S. policies.
