President Trump addressed Congress on Tuesday night, marking a significant moment in his early presidency. Speaking to a joint session, he highlighted the changes his administration has made in just over a month. His speech, lasting about one hour and 40 minutes, was the longest of any president in recent history.
Trump emphasized that his administration has achieved more in 43 days than most do in four or eight years. He expressed confidence that they are just getting started. Throughout the address, he revisited many themes from his campaign, focusing on the accomplishments rather than introducing new policies, which is typically expected during such addresses.
The atmosphere in the chamber was tense. Democrats voiced their discontent, with some members displaying signs of protest. One representative was even removed from the session. Trump countered their objections by claiming that the challenges facing the country were left by the Democrats, asserting that his administration is actively working to address these issues.
Overall, the night showcased Trump’s determination to push forward with his agenda, despite the pushback from the opposition party.
