- 31% reacted negatively.
Additionally, half of those surveyed said they were confident in Trump’s leadership, with 45% believing he would use his presidential power responsibly.
Key Topics of the Speech
During his address, Trump doubled down on several key priorities, including:
- Cutting federal spending
- Cracking down on illegal immigration
- Strengthening border security
The speech, which was the longest joint session address by a modern U.S. president, was filled with applause and standing ovations from Republican lawmakers. However, Democratic members of Congress were far less receptive, with some even walking out halfway through.
Trump’s Fiery Remarks on Democratic Opposition
At one point, Trump openly mocked his critics in the chamber, saying:
“I realize there is absolutely nothing I can say to make them [Democrats] happy or make them stand and smile or applaud.”
He went even further, stating:
“I could find a cure to the most devastating diseases… announce the greatest economy in history… and these people sitting right here will not clap, will not stand, and certainly will not cheer for these astronomical achievements.”
Notable Recognitions
During the address, Trump also praised several key figures in his administration, including:
- Elon Musk, who was commended for his contributions in his new Cabinet role.
- First Lady Melania Trump, who was applauded for her efforts in championing the “Take It Down Act”, a proposed law aimed at criminalizing AI-generated explicit deepfakes.
A Speech That Sparked Applause and Controversy
While Trump’s supporters celebrated the address as a reaffirmation of his commitment to his policies, his critics saw it as divisive and confrontational. Regardless of political stance, one thing is clear—Trump’s return to Congress was impossible to ignore.
As Washington continues to grapple with policy battles and partisan divides, the speech’s impact on the political landscape will be felt in the weeks to come.

you would never know any of this by listening to the lame stream “media”
TDS is a very real condition. 9 years of red-banner mainstream media coverage has created this mind virus. I have friends here who still believe the Russia hoax.
lol …….Russia, Russia, Russia
Go Trump!
Literally the smartest president we’ve ever had. Knows more about trade, money, debt, technology, taxes, politicians, the economy, infrastructure, drones than anybody. We’re living in the greatest time in American history but dems will find any reason to complain.
