U.S. President Donald Trump made history this week with a State of the Union speech clocking in at over 1 hour and 40 minutes—the longest in six decades. 🕒 The marathon address, delivered Tuesday night, touted what Trump called 'historic wins' on the economy, immigration, and global conflicts like the Russia-Ukraine war and Middle East tensions.
But the applause lines couldn’t mask the elephant in the room: Trump’s approval rating has dropped like a TikTok trend 📉, now sitting at 36% according to a new CNN/SSRS poll. That’s a stark contrast to his 48% rating during his last congressional address in 2025.
Meanwhile, Democratic lawmakers staged a quiet rebellion. Some skipped the event entirely, while others hosted nearby counter-events—think protest playlists over policy applause. 🎶
With the 2026 midterms looming, analysts say this speech could be a make-or-break moment for Trump’s agenda. Will voters vibe with his 'America First' encore? Stay tuned. 🎤🇺🇸
