The ‘golden age of America’? Trump delivers the State of the Union address
Trump touts an economic rebound and nationalism in a combative State of the Union, urging Congress to back his policy agenda including immigration reform, trade protections, and new infrastructure spending.
He frames recent years as a “golden age” returning under his leadership, claiming record job growth, stock market gains, and rising wages for workers while accusing opponents of obstruction and bias.
Democrats push back on climate change, healthcare, and tax plans, highlighting concerns about deficits and social programs, as the speech signals a polarized path ahead for the administration.
