Trump's Controversial Congress Speech: Deregulation, Transgender Attacks, and Protests

Donald Trump's address to Congress on March 5th, 2025, sparked significant controversy. His speech, described by some as the longest in history, focused heavily on cultural issues, particularly targeting the transgender community, Democrats, and what he termed 'wokeness.' Trump boasted about his administration's withdrawal from the UN Human Rights Council and the World Health Organization, and advocated for significant deregulation, stating, "For every new regulation, ten have to be removed." The speech was met with protests and heckling, notably from Congressman Al Green, who was ejected after Speaker Mike Johnson threatened arrest. The video highlights Trump's failure to offer concrete solutions to rising prices, instead blaming President Biden. His foreign policy proposals, including sending US troops to Mexico and potentially acquiring Greenland, were equally controversial. The event underscores the deep political divisions within the US and highlights the ongoing debate surrounding various social and economic issues.
