Trump Boasts ‘Turnaround for the Ages,’ Clashes With Democrats in Longest-Ever State of the Union Address
- On Tuesday, President Donald Trump delivered the State of the Union at the U.S. Capitol, facing partisan clashes while speaking for 1 hour and 41 minutes.
- Amid recent legal setbacks, the address was shaped by a 6-3 Supreme Court decision that removed President Donald Trump's favored IEEPA tariff tool and U.S. military buildup near Iran.
- Analysts and federal studies contradict key tariff and price assertions made during the address, noting the $18 trillion investment claim conflicts with White House investment tallies and tariffs mostly burden U.S. firms and consumers.
- More than 20 Democrats staged a boycott, opting for an outdoor rally on the National Mall, while Virginia Gov. Abigail Spanberger will deliver the official Democratic response.
- With midterms approaching, the address highlighted a 10% tariff signed under Section 122 of the 1974 Trade Act, limited to 15% and expiring after 150 days, amid economic data showing 2.4% inflation in January 2026.
