Donald Trump’s address to Congress on March 4, 2025, was marked by a significant protest led by Congressman Al Green. The event focused on key topics such as immigration plans and the ongoing situation in Ukraine. Green notably interrupted Trump’s speech with chants of ‘impeach!’ and ‘shame!’ as he attempted to draw attention to what he called the president’s failures. Trump, addressing a joint session of Congress for the second time since taking office, reiterated his administration’s stance on critical issues, particularly emphasizing his initiatives for immigration reform and support for Ukraine amidst the ongoing conflict with Russia. ‘We must protect our borders and stand with our allies in Ukraine,’ Trump stated confidently to the assembly, asserting his commitment to bolster national security. Meanwhile, protests outside the Capitol featured demonstrators holding signs reading ‘No more Trump’ and ‘Impeach him now,’ indicating a significant divide in public sentiment regarding his presidency. Al Green commented afterward, ‘We must hold this administration accountable for its actions,’ reinforcing the pressure from his party to pursue further actions against Trump. The event was a vivid reminder of the polarizing political climate as the nation heads towards another election cycle with stark opinions on leadership and policy.
