Former President Donald Trump addressed Congress in a highly charged atmosphere, showcasing his ongoing influence in American politics. His speech, delivered from the House chamber, included remarks on key issues such as immigration and support for Ukraine, setting the stage for his potential 2024 presidential run. Trump was met with heckles from the crowd, particularly from Democratic representatives including Al Green, who expressed their disapproval with calls of ‘shame’ and ‘get out.’ During a recent interview, Green stated, ‘This is an affront to the dignity of the Congressional institution.’ In response to the disruptive atmosphere, current House Speaker Mike Johnson defended Trump, remarking, ‘This is an important moment for our country, and we’re glad to have former President Trump here to share his vision for the future.’ Trump’s immigration proposals included tightening border security and reforming immigration laws to prioritize merit-based systems. The speech highlighted the continuing divide in U.S. politics as both parties gear up for the 2024 elections. Audience reactions varied, with some supporters chanting, ‘Make America Great Again,’ while opponents criticized Trump’s past actions, including his impeachment and his handling of various national policies.
