Trump's speech before the congress: important findings and Takeaways
President Donald Trumps 43 Crucial days in office as well as the attempt to explain what he did to the American audience - an audience that may still process its rapid changes.
dramatic measures and reactions
In terms of tariffs, government spending and foreign matters, Trump has taken dramatic steps that have ensured outrage and some Republicans for skepticism at the Democrats, while foreign capitals work towards a reaction. His goal on Tuesday was to explain why he took these measures.
a partisan event
Trump's speeches usually fall in two categories: the exuberant statements at campaign events and the more subdued political speeches, which usually do not offer the energy of its wilder events. This speech was strongly shaped in part.
When the president entered the congress hall, he was ready to address many topics. His speech exceeded the longest annual address. President before the congress in modern history - a little less than an hour and 40 minutes. It was also one of the most partisan.
disorders in the audience
The drama began in the audience when the democratic MP Al Green kept interrupting the president before the spokesman for the house, Mike Johnson, asked the house sergeant,
cultural fights and the "Woke" agenda
During his speech, Trump concentrated on topics of cultural struggle and promised to repay "Wokeness" from society while he praised some of his most controversial executive measures. He was prepared to react to interjections of the Democrats, but the speech was carefully prepared to present his arguments to one of his greatest TV public of the year.
a quick pace of changes
The executive measures that redesign the federal government came quickly and incessantly in the first one and a half months; His team is much more experienced this time, and the president himself is impatient to fulfill his election promises. For many Americans, however, the pace of changes was confusing. Surveys show that skepticism spreads through Trump's priorities. The speech on Tuesday offered the opportunity to prepare a conclusive argument.
he emphasized Elon Musk, the billionaire, who is responsible for his efficiency measures and was sitting in the audience. "He works very hard. He didn't have to do that. He didn't have to do it," said Trump and continued to challenge the Democrats: "Everyone here, even on this page, estimates it. I just don't want to admit it," he said and pointed to the Democrats.
topics of speech and economic challenges
The hours before Trump's speech was anything but the economic framework he had hoped for. The stock markets fell when the wide tariffs, which he had announced on Mexico, Canada and China, shaked the investors. Almost immediately after the market was closed, his Minister of Commerce indicated that there could be a withdrawal of the new tariffs on Wednesday.
Nevertheless, Trump - who has been promoting tariffs since the 1970s and once said that "tariff" was his favorite word - not from this strategy during his greatest speech of the year.
"Whatever you pay to us, we pay you. This is mutual, back and forth. Whatever you tax us, we tax you," he said in the speech and added: "We will take trillions and trillions of dollars and create jobs that we have never seen before." However, many Republicans have great concerns about the tariffs, and MPs from states who could be severely affected, were busy on Tuesday by phone with Trump's consultants to express their concerns.
a changed look at the world
Trump could hardly avoid the topic that dominated last week - the war in Ukraine - although his speech focused mainly on internal affairs. "I work tirelessly to end the brutal conflict in Ukraine," said Trump. At one point, Trump hoped to announce a new trade agreement about rare earth with Ukraine during his speech. But an incident in the Oval Office with President Wolodymyr Selenskyj last week.
Instead, Trump returned to his frustrations about the high expenditure of the United States for the conflict. However, he reacted positively to an earlier social media contribution by Selenskyj-Trump referred to a letter from the Ukrainian leader, in which he regretted regret about the incident on Friday and said that he was ready to start peace talks.
blame to bids
Trump made his predecessor, the former President Joe Biden, a central figure of his second term and to blame him for everything from increasing prices to foreign conflicts. The speech on Tuesday was also no exception. He accused bidges of leaving problems that range from high egg prices to approval too much money for Ukraine.
"As you know, we inherited an economic disaster and an inflation altitude from the last administration," said Trump in his speech. Later, with regard to the attempts to adopt a border control law last year, Trump said that instead of new laws, "everything we really needed was a new president". Every president inherits obstacles that were left behind by the previous administration. However, it remains to be seen how long Trump bids can blame for the continued challenges of the country. Ultimately, voters await solutions for their problems - and not the blame to someone else.
