In his State of the Union address on February 24, 2026, President Donald Trump delivered the longest speech in history, lasting one hour and 47 minutes, amid significant public dissatisfaction and low approval ratings. He declared that the United States had entered a 'Golden Age,' insisting the nation was 'bigger, better, richer and stronger than ever before,' despite polling showing only 36% approval for his economic management (Business Recorder, The Frontier Post). The address was marked by a stark divide, with Republicans cheering and Democrats protesting, including notable moments such as Democratic lawmaker Al Green being expelled for holding up a sign that read, 'Black people aren’t apes!' in response to Trump's recent controversial remarks (Dawn, The Guardian). Trump also railed against Democrats, framing his administration's successes while avoiding direct mention of China, likely to prevent tensions ahead of his upcoming visit to Beijing (South China Morning Post).
