Donald Trump delivered his first State of the Union of his second term, celebrating what he called a “turnaround for the ages” in the U.S., highlighting economic growth, lower inflation, energy independence, and tax relief for working families.

Trump spotlighted guests whose lives were positively affected by his policies, including a homeschooling mother, while also honoring military heroes, first responders, and Olympic athletes with medals and awards.

The speech emphasized border security and immigration enforcement, with Trump criticizing Democrats for not standing in support of protecting American citizens.

Throughout the address, he repeatedly attacked Democrats, condemned diversity and equity policies, and framed his administration as reversing the alleged failures of the Joe Biden administration, Fox News has reported.

He concluded by invoking the nation’s 250th anniversary, portraying the U.S. as entering a “golden age” and promising a future of greater liberty, prosperity, and patriotism.
