#TrumpCongressSpeech Donald Trump delivered a speech to a joint session of the United States Congress on March 4, 2025, at 9:19 p.m. EST. This was his fifth public address before a joint session and lasted for 1 hour and 40 minutes, making it the longest address to a joint session of Congress in at least 61 years ¹.

During the speech, Trump discussed various topics, including the price of eggs, energy prices, supporting police officers and firefighters, a peace agreement for ending the Russo-Ukrainian War, and tariffs. He also sent a conciliatory message to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, mentioning negotiations on the mineral resources deal between the two countries ¹.

The speech was not without controversy, as Democratic Representative Al Green was removed from the chamber after shouting that Trump had not received a mandate. Additionally, Secretary of Veterans Affairs Doug Collins was named the designated survivor and was at an undisclosed location during the address ¹.

Following the speech, various responses were delivered, including those from Democratic Senator Elissa Slotkin of Michigan, Representative Adriano Espaillat of New York, and Independent Senator Bernie Sanders of Vermont ¹.
