In a powerful address to Congress, Trump detailed how his administration has hit the ground running with an unprecedented number of executive actions aimed at undoing the damage from the previous administration.
“Over the past six weeks, I have signed nearly 100 Executive Orders and taken more than 400 executive actions, a record to restore common sense, safety, optimism, and wealth all across our wonderful land,” President Donald Trump told the joint session of Congress.

Standing Up for Women’s Sports
One of the most powerful moments of the evening came when Trump addressed his Executive Order prohibiting biological males from competing in women’s sports. The President recognized Payton McNabb, a female athlete who had been forced to compete against males, bringing attention to the unfairness many female athletes have faced under liberal policies.
“Payton, from now on, schools will kick the men off the girls team or lose federal funding,” Trump said. The President’s firm stance on protecting women’s sports received thunderous applause from the Republican side of the chamber, while Democrats remained notably silent on the issue of fairness in women’s athletics.
Trump also addressed the broader issue of radical gender ideology being pushed on America’s youth, stating clearly that no child is born in the wrong body. This commonsense declaration stands in stark contrast to the extreme policies promoted by Democrats that have encouraged irreversible medical procedures for minors experiencing gender confusion.
America First Economic Policy
The President announced significant new tariffs on Canada and Mexico, explaining how these measures will protect American jobs and strengthen the economy. Trump introduced Jeff, a factory worker whose job was saved by tariff policies, to illustrate the real-world impact of his America First approach to trade.
“Stories like Jeff’s remind us that tariffs are not just about protecting American jobs. They are about protecting the soul of our country. Tariffs are about making America rich again and making America great again,” Trump said. This powerful message resonated with working-class Americans who have seen their livelihoods threatened by unfair trade practices.
The President also highlighted his Department of Government Efficiency initiative, aimed at eliminating wasteful federal spending and streamlining government operations. While Republicans cheered these common-sense reforms, Democrats remained seated, apparently unwilling to support efforts to reduce government waste.
Democrat Disruptions
In a display of disrespect that shocked many viewers, Texas Democratic Representative Al Green was forcibly removed from the chamber after interrupting the President’s address with protests. Several other Democrats wore pink and held signs in protest, refusing to stand during key moments honoring American heroes and victims of criminal illegal immigrants.
Despite these disruptions, President Trump maintained his composure and continued to highlight his administration’s accomplishments, including border security improvements and the apprehension of the terrorist responsible for the Abbey Gate bombing in Kabul. The stark contrast between Trump’s focus on results and the Democrats’ theatrical protests was not lost on American viewers.
