#TrumpStateoftheUnion : Trump Delivers Historic, Record-Breaking Address Amid Deep Political Divide U.S. President Donald Trump delivered the 2026 State of the Union address to a joint session of Congress — his first official SOTU of his second term — focusing on the economy, border security, inflation, jobs and national strength. The speech, delivered at the U.S. Capitol in Washington, D.C., lasted nearly 1 hour and 48 minutes, making it the longest State of the Union in U.S. history. Trump emphasized his administration’s achievements, declaring that the United States is experiencing a “golden age of America”, saying the nation is “bigger, better, richer and stronger than ever before,” and asserting economic recovery, lowered inflation and enhanced border security. The address drew deep partisan reactions — with Democrats holding counter-events on the National Mall and some lawmakers boycotting or protesting during the speech. At least one Democratic Representative was ejected for displaying a controversial sign. In addition to policy pronouncements, Trump honored figures including Olympic athletes and focused on a broader narrative of national resurgence, framing his first year back in office as a turnaround “for the ages.”
