Donald Trump delivers record-long speech to the nation

Donald Trump's 'State of the Union' address is the longest in history, surpassing Bill Clinton's record from 2000, lasting over one hour and 29 minutes.

Donald Trump's 'State of the Union' address has set a new record for the longest speech given in this setting, surpassing the previous record held by Bill Clinton in 2000. The speech lasted over one hour and 29 minutes, during which Trump articulated his vision for the nation, claiming significant achievements in various areas such as the economy, safety, and international respect for the U.S. In his address, Trump asserted that the nation has undergone a remarkable transformation, stating, "Our nation is back. Bigger, better, richer, and stronger than ever before." He highlighted the decline in inflation rates, secure borders, and perceived improvements in the economy, along with a sense of renewed respect for the United States on the global stage. While last year's congressional address lasted nearly one hour and 40 minutes, CNN noted that it was not technically classified as a 'State of the Union' address. Trump's record-setting speech is significant not only for its length but also for its implications regarding the administration’s accomplishments and future priorities, framing his leadership as pivotal in restoring the country's strength and respect.
