On Tuesday, President Donald Trump delivered his first address to a joint session of Congress since regaining the presidency. In his speech, Trump reflected on his first 43 days in office, focusing on key topics like tariffs, government cuts, and foreign relations. His address was officially recorded as the longest first address to Congress, surpassing previous records for a State of the Union or joint session speech.

Throughout the speech, Trump faced interruptions from Democratic lawmakers, including Representative Al Green from Texas, who was eventually escorted out of the chamber. Despite the disruptions, Trump continued his address, emphasizing his administration’s progress and outlining his vision for the future.

During the speech, Trump was seen pointing as he spoke, with Vice President JD Vance and House Speaker Mike Johnson clapping in the background. The address highlighted the administration’s policy priorities and set the tone for the coming years, showcasing both support and opposition within the chamber. The event marked a key moment in Trump’s second term and his ongoing influence on American politics.
