Trump presents contentious plans in congressional debut

United States President Donald Trump laid out his initial agenda in his first speech to Congress since being re-elected, and it's unlike any agenda in the nation's post-war era.

 

While he didn't directly mention all of these topics in his speech, Trump plans to revive tariffs, breaking with the Western liberal consensus. He has also declared a pause to all military aid to Ukraine, upending the NATO consensus. Additionally, Trump has announced that the US will occupy Gaza, aims to implement the largest deportation scheme in American history, and is planning more tax cuts for the wealthy.

 

Six weeks ago, I stood beneath the dome of this Capitol and proclaimed the dawn of the golden age of America.

 

From that moment on it has been nothing but swift and unrelenting action to usher in the greatest and most successful era in the history of our country.

 

US President, Donald Trump

The Democratic Party's response was delivered by Elissa Slotkin, an ardently pro Zionist, long time CIA agent, turned senator.

 

Starting trade wars, claiming to want to end actual wars, a war on illegal immigration, continuing his war against the Democratic Party in parts of the Deep State; Trump's first address to Congress appears to mark the start of a very different era in American politics.
