#TrumpCongressSpeech

On March 4, 2025, President Donald Trump delivered a landmark address to a joint session of Congress, marking his fifth such appearance. The speech, lasting 1 hour and 40 minutes, set a record as the longest presidential address to Congress in over six decades.

Throughout his speech, President Trump highlighted his administration's achievements and outlined future initiatives. He emphasized economic accomplishments, defended the implementation of tariffs on nations like China, Mexico, and Canada, and proposed the creation of an expansive missile defense system. Additionally, he expressed ambitions to reclaim the Panama Canal and pursue the acquisition of Greenland.

The address was characterized by sharp partisan divisions. President Trump criticized Democratic leaders, including former President Joe Biden and Senator Elizabeth Warren, and mocked the Democratic Party's current struggles. The confrontational tone underscored the deepening political divide within the nation.

Notably, the speech was interrupted by Democratic Representative Al Green, who vocally challenged the President's mandate. This disruption led to Green's removal from the chamber, highlighting the heightened tensions during the address.

President Trump also honored individuals such as a 13-year-old cancer survivor, appointing him as an honorary Secret Service agent, and paid tribute to Cory Comperator, who was killed at a campaign rally in Pennsylvania where Trump was also injured. Comperator's widow, Helen, and their daughters, Allison and Kaylee, were present in the First Lady's box during the speech.

In his concluding remarks, President Trump declared that "the golden age of America has only just begun," expressing optimism about the nation's future and reaffirming his commitment to advancing his administration's agenda.
