Trump explodes at Democrats for refusing to stand for Americans

President Donald Trump delivered a combative State of the Union address marked by repeated clashes with Democratic lawmakers, who at times interrupted and refused to stand during key moments. Early in the speech, Representative Al Green was removed from the chamber after protesting, while other Democrats shouted objections as Trump defended his immigration crackdown and broader 'America First' agenda. The president accused his opponents of failing to support measures to protect American citizens and blasted them for resisting his policies.

Trump highlighted aggressive immigration enforcement actions, praised economic gains, and criticized a recent Supreme Court ruling that struck down his tariff policy. He directly called on Congress to pass legislation banning lawmakers and their families from trading individual stocks, taking a pointed jab at former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi. The president also expressed frustration with members of the Supreme Court who ruled against him, accusing some conservative justices of disloyalty.

On foreign policy, Trump said he would not allow Iran to obtain a nuclear weapon and revealed the specific assurance he wants to hear from Tehran to avoid further escalation. He also touted a major oil shipment from Venezuela following the removal of its leader, claiming it strengthened American energy security. The address featured celebratory moments as well, including honoring the United States men's Olympic hockey team and announcing a forthcoming Presidential Medal of Freedom for goaltender Connor Hellebuyck.
