Ok, so here we go… Trump’s new joint address to Congress.
Here’s how to watch:
https://www.politico.com/news/2025/03/04/donald-trump-congress-speech-how-to-watch-024384
“Trump’s address to Congress will begin Tuesday at 9 p.m. ET. The speech will be broadcast on major television networks and available to stream on certain websites, including POLITICO.”
So 6 PM Pacific Time.
Worth noting that like Biden’s address to Congress in 2021, this isn’t TECHNICALLY a “State of the Union” address, although it has a lot of the trappings of a State of the Union.
Typically the first address from a new President to Congress isn’t called a “State of the Union.”
“According to the American Presidency Project, the impacts of these first-year speeches should be considered to have the same heft as the State of the Union addresses that follow in subsequent years. And, just like the State of the Union address, the opposing party to the one that occupies the White House gives a brief speech in response, which, like the president’s remarks, is televised. This year’s will be delivered by Democratic Sen. Elissa Slotkin of Michigan.”
oh man. I am not looking forward to this but feel I have an obligation to watch. Appreciate you getting the thread going though.
I’ll pass on listening to the Cheeto Musolini speech. I’d rather preserve my sanity/time by reading the news afterwards instead of listening to him ramble.
im prepping with vodka and I rarely drink.
I’m tempted to just wait on the transcript, but so many of Trump’s transcripts are whitewashed to make him seem more rational than he is.
