President Donald Trump delivered a highly partisan speech to Congress, boasting about his victory and criticizing Democrats for failing to recognize his accomplishments. Despite the usual expectation for a call to national unity in such addresses, Trump took a confrontational approach, aligning himself with George Washington and portraying himself as a victim of Democratic opposition. He also targeted Ukraine’s President Zelenskyy, but later read a letter from him indicating a willingness to negotiate peace.
On economic issues, Trump blamed President Joe Biden for rising egg prices, ignoring the impact of a bird flu outbreak. He emphasized the importance of tariffs in his agenda, despite Wall Street losses and retaliatory measures from trading partners. Additionally, Trump proposed a $5 million “gold card” for wealthy immigrants and pledged to implement tax breaks for working Americans.
The speech showcased Trump’s divisive rhetoric and policy agenda, illustrating a departure from his more conciliatory approach in previous addresses to Congress.
