President Trump just delivered the longest State of the Union address in American history, starting at 9 p.m. and ending at 11 p.m., with a real speaking time of 1 hour and 43 minutes. The entire speech focused on reclaiming glory for the 250th anniversary of the founding of the United States, with immigration as the main thread, interspersed with specific economic policies to address public concerns about rising prices and inflation. The speech invited several symbolic guests, including the parents of Sarah Bakerstrom, a National Guard member killed in Washington D.C., and a 7-year-old girl injured in a car accident. President Trump also awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom to 100-year-old veteran E. Royce Williams during the speech, which will be the first time this highest military honor has been awarded during a State of the Union address. Trump also emphasized the revival of "faith and Christianity" domestically. Erica Kirk, CEO of the conservative organization TPUSA, was also present. On the Democratic side, small business owners affected by tariffs, relatives of survivors of the Epstein case, and people affected by rising health insurance costs were arranged to attend, highlighting dissatisfaction with Trump's policies. Democratic female members of the House wore badges reading "Stand with Survivors, Open Files." Over 30 Democratic lawmakers skipped the speech, instead attending the "People's State of the Union" event outside the Capitol. After Trump recently publicly criticized the judicial system and criticized two judges he appointed, more than half of the Supreme Court justices did not attend. Virginia Democratic Governor Spanberger, in her response on behalf of the opposition party, sharply pointed out that Trump described a bright situation, but whether the president is working to improve your life in front of the screen? And pointed out that Trump "lies, blames others, and changes the subject."
