U.S. President Donald Trump began his term with a strong start, making shocking decisions for many people in recent weeks. Now, the Republican leader will explain his decisions in detail before Congress, but his message will certainly be addressed to the citizens as well.
The speech is scheduled for 9:00 PM local time. Among the topics likely to be discussed are details about the trade war with Mexico, Canada, China, and the European Union, the rapprochement with Russia, the war in Ukraine, and more.
There have even been voices suggesting that Trump might comment on a possible annexation of the West Bank or Gaza Strip by Israel. Additionally, Donald Trump could talk about the annexation of Canada or Greenland, as well as the aggressive policy pursued by Elon Musk and his DOGE department against “government employees.”
The measures taken by Donald Trump have caused a real shock in American society and around the world. As a result, the Democrats have designated Senator Elissa Slotkin from Michigan, a former CIA agent, to present the Democratic Party’s perspective. The speech comes at a time when 54% of Americans believe the country is heading in the wrong direction.
Moreover, Donald Trump has an approval rating of only 48% (the percentage of Americans who agree with the president’s policies), compared to more popular presidents such as George W. Bush (90%) or Obama (68%). However, as Republican-affiliated publications indicate, Republican voters are largely satisfied with how things are going.
More specifically, 70% of them believe that Donald Trump is keeping his word and fulfilling his campaign promises, particularly regarding “America First,” border closures, expelling migrants, and attempts to establish long-awaited peace in the war in Ukraine.
The numbers are tighter when it comes to the war in Israel, with only 54% of Americans believing that Donald Trump has a viable plan. The U.S. president has already stated that he wants to evacuate the entire Gaza Strip to build an “envied riviera” for tourists.
