Trump signals record speech: – It will probably be long, full of lies and boasting about himself

Former President Donald Trump is expected to deliver a lengthy State of the Union address tonight, potentially breaking his own record for the longest speech before Congress, despite low popularity ratings.

Former President Donald Trump is set to deliver his State of the Union address, a significant tradition in American politics, drawing considerable attention. Trump holds the record for the longest congressional speech, having talked for 100 minutes last year, and he has suggested that he might exceed that duration in his upcoming address, as reported by various US media outlets like CNN and Axios.

In his speech, Trump is expected to tout multiple achievements, even as his approval ratings among Americans have plummeted to their lowest since he took office again. Eirik Løkke, a US expert, forecasts that the speech will contain numerous inaccuracies and exaggerations, particularly about the state of the US economy. He anticipates Trump will assert that the economy has never been better and will highlight the stock market's performance, despite prevailing economic challenges.

The address aims to reinforce Trump's narrative and connection with his supporters, even as he faces declining popularity. The State of the Union is a pivotal moment for any president to address the nation, and for Trump, it presents an opportunity to reaffirm his political stance and vision amidst growing scrutiny. The full speech will be available for viewing by the public, further amplifying its reach and impact.
