Key Moments When Democrats Humiliated By President Trump AT U.S Congress | Trump's Dramatic Speech

Donald Trump delivered his first address to Congress since returning to power, declaring, *"America is back,"* while defending his sweeping policies amid loud opposition from Democrats. Speaking for over an hour and 40 minutes, Trump’s speech became the longest presidential address to lawmakers, surpassing Bill Clinton’s 2000 State of the Union record. Throughout his speech, Trump praised billionaire advisor Elon Musk, applauding his efforts to overhaul the federal bureaucracy. Musk, present in the chamber, received standing ovations from Republican lawmakers when Trump mentioned his contributions. The speech also covered key issues, including trade, immigration, and foreign policy, with Trump proclaiming progress on Ukraine. However, tensions flared early on. Protests erupted just minutes into the speech when Democratic Representative Al Green interrupted Trump, criticizing his stance on healthcare. Green, who has long opposed Trump, refused to back down and even shook his walking stick at the president. His actions led to his removal from the chamber, as Republicans cheered. Despite the protests, Trump's speech resonated strongly with his supporters, reinforcing his administration’s agenda and rallying his party around his vision for the country’s future. #donaldtrump #uscongress #trumpspeech #republican #trumpnews #usnews #trumpspeechlive #jointsession #jdvance #trumpspeechcongress #maga #congressspeech #trumpaddress #whitehouse #algreen #donaldtrump #uscongress #uscongresslive #trumplive #trump, #russiaukrainewar #russia #ukraine #trumpnnews #uscongressnews #presidenttrump #uspresident #presidenttrump #trumpnews #donaldtruimpnews #latestnews #usnews #usa #america #uslatest Also Read Trump's Oval Office Thrashing Of Zelenskyy Shows Limits Of Western Allies' Ability To Sway US Leader :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/trumps-oval-office-thrashing-of-zelenskyy-shows-limits-of-western-allies-ability-to-sway-us-leader-4083825.html?ref=DMDesc Justice Department Terminates Employees Linked to Criminal Prosecutions of President Trump :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/justice-department-fires-employees-prosecutions-president-trump-011-4055959.html?ref=DMDesc PM Modi Speaks with US President Trump in First Call After Inauguration :: https://www.oneindia.com/india/pm-modi-speaks-with-us-president-trump-in-first-call-after-inauguration-4054737.html?ref=DMDesc
