In his State of the Union address on February 24, 2026, President Donald Trump delivered a lengthy speech, lasting nearly two hours, amid significant public dissatisfaction and low approval ratings. He claimed a 'turnaround for the ages,' asserting, 'Our nation is back 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, as Trump faced mounting challenges ahead of the midterm elections, where control of Congress is at stake (Global News, The Guardian).
