U.S. President Donald Trump delivered a fiery address to Congress this week, doubling down on his aggressive agenda while facing loud protests from Democrats who called his claims “dangerous.” The speech mixed bold economic pledges with divisive rhetoric, sparking yet another political showdown. 🌍🔥
The Speech: Bold Claims & Backlash
Trump declared “America is back,” touting his trade policies, including tariffs on China, Mexico, and Canada, and vowed to “balance the budget” while pushing tax cuts that analysts warn could balloon national debt. 💸⚖️ Yet, Democrats held up signs reading “No King!” and staged a walkout, with Rep. Al Green forcibly removed after disrupting the speech.
Highlights from Trump’s Address
💼 Promised to revive a minerals deal with Ukraine and pursue “peace talks” with Russia.
🕊️ Pledged Middle East peace expansions via the Abraham Accords, though details were scarce.
🚫 Vowed to ban “transgender ideology” and attacked immigrant “savages,” repeating disputed claims.
Democrats Strike Back
Senator Elissa Slotkin, a former CIA analyst, rebutted Trump by invoking Reagan-era diplomacy: “Trump would’ve lost the Cold War.” Meanwhile, lawmakers revisiting the Capitol chaos of 2020 called Trump’s tone “unfit for leadership.” 🤯📢
With tensions soaring and global markets rattled by tariffs, this clash sets the stage for a bruising election year. Stay tuned. 👀
