#TrumpCongressSpeech
Donald Trump, the 47th President of the United States, delivered a speech to a joint session of Congress on March 4, 2025. This was his fifth public address before a joint session, and it 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 ¹. He also claimed that his presidency was the most successful in American history, with George Washington being the second most successful ².
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 ¹. Trump also sent a conciliatory message to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, mentioning negotiations on a mineral resources deal between the two countries ¹.
In addition, Trump announced an executive order renaming the Anahuac National Wildlife Refuge to the Jocelyn Nungaray National Wildlife Refuge, in memory of a 12-year-old girl who was murdered at a Texas bridge ¹. The speech was followed by responses from various Democratic leaders, including Senator Elissa Slotkin and Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez ¹.
