In his first address to the US Congress since returning to office, President Donald Trump highlighted what he called significant achievements made within his first 43 days, claiming his administration had achieved more in that short period than others typically do in several years. Trump spoke about restoring “free speech” across the nation and referenced several executive actions he had signed. Among them, he pointed to an order restricting male participation in women’s sports and a directive affirming the recognition of only two biological sexes — male and female. Trump also took aim at former President Joe Biden, blaming him for the sharp rise in egg prices, vowing that his administration is working to bring costs under control.

Trump’s address wasn’t just a policy rundown — it was a rallying cry to his supporters and a direct challenge to his critics. He painted a picture of a nation at a crossroads, blaming the previous administration for economic struggles, border chaos, and a loss of traditional values. Emphasizing his “America First” agenda, Trump vowed to restore energy independence, secure the southern border, and bring manufacturing jobs back home. His sharp rhetoric drew loud applause from Republican lawmakers, while Democrats sat in stony silence, bracing for the political battles ahead.

As Trump wrapped up his speech, he struck a familiar tone — equal parts defiant and optimistic. Promising to give power back to everyday Americans, he pledged to fight against what he called the “deep state” and media bias, positioning himself as the voice of the forgotten middle class. With the 2026 midterms already on the horizon, Trump’s message was clear: his return isn’t just about reclaiming the presidency — it’s about reshaping the nation’s future, one controversial decision at a time.
