The last time President Donald Trump delivered an address to Congress, he was facing impeachment, a new virus was emerging, and the Democrats were in the process of nominating his challenger. Five years later, the political landscape has undergone significant changes.
Since his second term began, President Trump, with the guidance of his top adviser Elon Musk, has made substantial changes to the federal government. Republicans now hold full control of Congress, and Trump has been actively reshaping the geopolitical order, including efforts to broker a peace deal between Russia and Ukraine.
Despite winning the popular vote as the first Republican in two decades, Trump is now confronted with the challenge of addressing persistent issues and fulfilling his promises to lower prices. His administration is prioritizing speed in pushing his agenda, learning from the past not to delay in executing promises. Trump frequently signs executive orders, often deciding on them just moments before.
His upcoming speech to Congress will serve as an extension of his new term, explaining the rapid changes that have occurred. This address will be crucial in outlining his demands for Republicans to enact his agenda into law, a critical factor in determining the success of his presidency.
