Trump Delivers Longest State of the Union Address, Declares 'America is Back'

In a 100-minute speech, President Trump emphasized his administration's early actions, faced Democratic protests, and touched on Ukraine peace talks.

  • President Trump delivered a record-breaking 100-minute State of the Union address, focusing on his administration's first six weeks in office and declaring 'America is back.'
  • The speech highlighted familiar themes such as reducing bureaucracy, opposing 'wokeness,' combating illegal immigration, and implementing radical cost-cutting measures led by Elon Musk.
  • Democrats staged visible protests, including wearing pink to symbolize opposition, holding protest signs, and some walking out of the speech, underscoring deep political divisions.
  • Trump addressed the ongoing Ukraine war late in his speech, sharing a letter from President Zelenskyy expressing willingness to negotiate peace, though no major agreements were announced.
  • Critics noted a lack of new policy proposals and a focus on culture wars, while Trump's approval ratings remain polarized, with significant disapproval despite a lead over potential Democratic rival Kamala Harris in recent polls.
