Trump's recent address to Congress lasted an uncharacteristic hour and 40 minutes, filled with misinformation and self-celebration. He wrongly claimed that Elon Musk heads the new Department of Government Efficiency, which prompted legal challenges. Democrats held signs that criticized Trump's policies and were ridiculed on social media. Representative Al Green's vocal protest against Trump's healthcare cuts led to his removal, illustrating the deep tensions and dysfunctional atmosphere in American politics today, reflecting the broader struggle over accountability and governance.
Trump's speech was predictably ugly and overlong, and included few surprises. 'Wokeness is trouble. Wokeness is gone,' Trump rambled.
Trump affirmed, during his speech, that Elon Musk is in charge of the infamous Department of Government Efficiency... DOGE, perhaps you've heard of it.
Many observers have compared the signs to ping pong paddles... the imagery was not favorable. The signs were roundly mocked on social media.
Representative Al Green... declared that Trump had no mandate to cut Medicaid. Green was ultimately removed from the chamber by the Sergeant at Arms.
