Washington, February 25 – President Donald Trump delivered a powerhouse State of the Union address, proclaiming that America has undergone unprecedented transformation in just one year under his leadership. Standing before Congress, he declared, ‘Tonight, just one year later, I can report that we have accomplished an extraordinary transition. It is a glorious milestone in history.’
This marked his first such speech in a second term, shattering previous records with a duration exceeding one hour and 45 minutes. Trump invoked America’s founding principles, stating, ‘From 1776 to today, every generation of Americans has heroically stepped forward to secure our founding ideals of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. Now it’s our turn.’
He outlined a vision for a nation where every child has a chance to rise, where government answers to the people – not the powerful – and where hardworking citizens remain the top priority. On the economy, Trump forecasted relentless growth: ‘Factories, jobs, investments, and trillions of dollars will keep pouring back into our country because we finally have a president who puts America first.’
Criticizing past administrations, he accused them of siphoning money from productive Americans through theft and fraud. Trump boasted of slashing prescription drug prices, something previous presidents promised but failed to deliver. ‘I’m eliminating the outrageous cost of prescription drugs. They talked, I acted.’
In housing policy, he signed an executive order last month banning large Wall Street firms from snapping up thousands of single-family homes. He urged Congress to make this ban permanent. Addressing corruption, Trump spotlighted Minnesota, where he claimed the Somali community looted nearly $19 billion from American taxpayers.
On border security, he blasted Democrats for slashing Homeland Security funding, effectively shuttering agencies protecting Americans from terrorists and murderers. ‘Tonight, I am calling for the full and immediate restoration of all funding for our border security and homeland security.’ He vowed to keep communities safe from dangerous repeat offenders released by ‘pro-criminal politicians.’
In foreign policy, Trump pledged to pursue peace wherever possible but never hesitate to confront threats to America. He committed to restoring U.S. security and dominance in the Western Hemisphere, painting a picture of a resurgent nation ready for the future.
