Trump’s record ‘golden age’ State of the Union speech touts wins, jabs foes

From the economy and immigration to Iran, even Olympic champions, President Donald Trump's record-breaking State of the Union address carried one unmistakable message

America is on top. Our country is winning again. In fact, we're winning so much that we really don't know what to do about it

People are asking me, please, please, please, Mr. President, we're winning too much

We can't take it anymore. We're not used to winning in our country

Until you came along, we're just always losing, but now we're winning too much

One of Trump's central themes was the economy. Despite recent polls showing many Americans feel strained and uncertain

he touted what he described as strong markets and lower prices, and blamed Democrats for lingering problems

He also defended his global tariff strategy and lamented last week's Supreme Court decision

striking down those levies. I use these tariffs, took in hundreds of billions of dollars to make

great deals for our country, both economically and on a national security basis. Everything was

working well. Countries that were ripping us off for decades are now paying us hundreds of

billions of dollars. And then just four days ago, an unfortunate ruling from the United States

Supreme Court. It just came down. It came down. Very unfortunate ruling. On foreign policy

Trump again singled out Iran, warning Tehran it won't be allowed to develop nuclear weapons

and saying diplomacy is his preference. My preference is to solve this problem through

diplomacy. But one thing is certain, I will never allow the world's number one sponsor of terror

which they are by far to have a nuclear weapon Can let that happen The address also featured ceremonial moments with Trump awarding medals of honor He also announced he plans to give the Presidential Medal of Freedom to U men Olympic hockey

goalie Conor Hellebuck for his tremendous performance in backstopping the team to winning

the gold medal. The nearly two-hour address was the longest in State of the Union history

The State of the Union address also turned tense, at times chaotic, as Democrats protested Trump's

remarks on immigration and alleged fraud. Texas Congressman Al Green was ejected for the second

straight year after holding a sign that read, Black people aren't apes. Green said the message

responded to a video Trump posted earlier this month that depicted former President Barack Obama

and former First Lady Michelle Obama as apes. As Trump continued speaking, several Democrats

shouted back. Congresswoman Ilhan Omar of Minnesota yelled, you should be ashamed. Representative

Rashida Tlaib shouted, liar. Later, Omar and Tlaib accused the president of killing Americans

before leaving the chamber. Other Democrats wore pins reading, stand with survivors

release the files, spotlighting the Epstein files issued during the address. In the official Democratic response, Virginia Governor Abigail Spanberger argued Americans

did not hear the truth and blamed the president's trade policies for higher costs

Since this president took office last year, his reckless trade policies have forced American families to pay more than $1,700 each in tariff costs

And even though the Supreme Court struck these tariffs down four days ago, the damage to us, the American people, has already been done

She also criticized the administration's immigration enforcement, accusing the president of sending what she called poorly trained federal agents into American cities
