LAKE MARY, Fla. -- President Donald Trump's speech to a joint session of Congress Tuesday night was filled with blatant lies, exaggerations, name-calling, delusions of grandeur, and false hopes.

He discussed the price of eggs, energy prices, supporting police officers and firefighters, a peace agreement for ending the Russo-Ukrainian War, and tariffs. His speech ended at 10:59 p.m. EST, the longest address to a joint session of Congress in at least 61 years.

The state of the economy is getting worse by the day, with no real plan of action to lower prices. Typical partisan MAGA BS on display!

Here's the reality: Tax cuts to the rich on the backs of the working poor and less fortunate, hypocrisy in full swing with massive reductions in IRS staffing amid tax season, and ridiculous double-digit tariffs against our strongest allies/border nations, Canada and Mexico, in addition to American adversary China!

Trump proclaims this the Golden Age, but it's the Golden Age for the Richest of the Rich!

Trump has been in office for 43 days, and what happens, better or worse, is on his watch. The actual litmus test will come after Trump has been in office for 100 days.
