On March 4, 2025, Trump delivered his first speech of his second term at a joint session of Congress, themed "Reviving the American Dream," lasting approximately 1 hour and 40 minutes. The speech focused on domestic affairs, emphasizing "America First" and did not mention the international landscape. He proposed prioritizing the economy, stating that for every new regulation, ten old regulations must be eliminated, praised Musk's initiative for a 'Department of Government Efficiency,' and planned to abolish the CHIPS Act to expand critical mineral production. Regarding immigration, he reiterated the crackdown on illegal entry and called for increased border security funding. Trump proclaimed that "the spirit and confidence of America are returning," reflecting on his early achievements in office, criticizing the federal bureaucracy, and calling for bipartisan cooperation to "Make America Great Again." The speech continued his direct and confrontational style, mentioning his experience with an unsuccessful assassination attempt during the campaign. Supporters claimed it showcased his status as a "political giant," while critics pointed out his insufficient focus on inflation and other livelihood issues.
