Trump hails his whirlwind, six-week ‘common sense revolution’ — as downbeat Dems protest address to Congress
SUMMARY
President Trump took the stage Tuesday night, delivering a 99-minute address to Congress—his longest yet—calling his six-week blitz of executive orders a “common sense revolution.” He boasted “America is back,” reeling off wins like slashing $1 trillion in spending with Elon Musk’s DOGE, pausing Ukraine aid after a Zelensky spat, and hitting Canada, Mexico, and China with tariffs. Trump pitched tax cuts, a balanced budget, and quirky moves like inviting Greenland to join the U.S. Republicans cheered; Democrats heckled—Rep. Al Green got booted for waving his cane, yelling about mandates. Rashida Tlaib flashed a “pay your taxes” sign, while others sat stone-faced as Trump honored a slain girl’s family and a teen cancer fighter. He waited 86 minutes to hit Ukraine, claiming Zelensky’s now ready to talk peace after Friday’s Oval Office clash. Trump jabbed at Dems—“Pocahontas says yes”—and pushed for no taxes on tips or Social Security.
