In his first address to Congress since his return to the White House, President Donald Trump confidently declared that "America is back." However, his speech was quickly interrupted by a chaotic scene at the US Capitol, as a protesting Democratic lawmaker was removed from the chamber.
Despite the disruption, Trump went on to deliver the longest first address to a joint session of Congress in US history. He boasted about his administration's accomplishments and reiterated his goals, including his controversial plan to acquire Greenland "one way or the other."
Trump proudly stated that since starting his second term six weeks ago, his administration has taken swift and unrelenting actions to usher in what he believes will be the most successful and greatest era in American history. He even claimed to have accomplished more in 43 days than most administrations do in four or eight years, and he made it clear that he was just getting started.
However, not everyone in the chamber was on board with Trump's rhetoric. Democratic Rep Al Green of Texas stood up and shouted at the president, stating that he had no mandate. The interruption caused a commotion, with Republican lawmakers chanting "USA! USA!" in an attempt to drown out Green's protest. The chamber erupted into shouting and jeering between members of the two parties, and Green was eventually removed from the chamber.
Undeterred, Trump continued his speech and proclaimed that "our country will be woke no longer." He emphasized his belief in hiring and promoting individuals based on their skills and confidence, rather than their race or gender. He also celebrated a recent Supreme Court decision that he believes supports this belief.
In a surprising turn of events, Trump also shifted the blame for rising egg prices to former President Joe Biden, stating that he had let the situation get "out of control."
Moving on to his plans for the future, Trump expressed his support for Greenland's right to determine its own future and even extended an invitation for the country to join the United States. He argued that the US needs Greenland for national and international security purposes and confidently stated that "one way or the other," he will make it happen.
Before beginning his speech, Trump entered the House chamber and was soon joined by First Lady Melania Trump and his Cabinet members. As he made his way through the room, Melania clapped and watched her husband greet lawmakers and some supporters wearing MAGA hats.
The theme of Trump's speech, according to White House officials, was "Renewal of the American Dream." The speech was divided into four sections, focusing on his accomplishments, the economy, border security, and global peace. White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt declared that it would be "must-see TV."
This speech came just days after a tense meeting between Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky. The two leaders got into a shouting match in the Oval Office, with the meeting ultimately ending without Zelensky signing a rare mineral deal towards peace with Russia.
But on the day of Trump's address, Zelensky did an about-face and expressed his willingness to work with Trump for a lasting peace. He even offered rare earth minerals from Ukraine in exchange for security guarantees. Hours before his speech, Trump reportedly wanted to announce the deal, but it had not yet been signed.
As he concluded his address, Trump expressed his belief that the American Dream is being renewed under his leadership. He thanked the American people for their continued support and made it clear that he plans to continue working towards his goals for the country.
