President Donald Trump delivered a lengthy State of the Union address Tuesday night, describing what he called a “golden age of America.”
The president highlighted his administration’s accomplishments and emphasized that the country is “bigger, better, richer and stronger than ever before,” according to his remarks. He also used the speech to attack Democratic opponents, criticizing their policies and approach.
Trump’s speech comes amid low approval ratings and growing frustrations over the economy, which have dominated political discourse. The address was notably longer than typical speeches, setting a record for the duration of a State of the Union.
Throughout the speech, Trump focused on economic growth, military strength, and border security. He highlighted recent legislative wins and outlined his vision for the nation’s future, despite ongoing political and economic challenges.
Analysis from political observers indicates that Trump aimed to rally his base and project confidence in his leadership during the address.
