KEY POINTS

•On February 25, President Trump delivered the longest-ever State of the Union address lasting 108 minutes.

On February 25, 2026, President Trump embarked on the longest-ever State of the Union — a 108-minute flex fest despite polling plummeting lower than a limbo stick at a turtle race. The audience, packed with gold-medal Olympians like goalie Connor Hellebuyck, Purple Hearts, and Coast Guard heroes who rescued 164 Texans, cheered while half the Democrats boycotted or yelled protests like Rep. Al Green, who got booted for holding a 'Black People Aren't Apes' sign in response to a racist video reposted by Trump. Trump promised a 'Golden Age,' bragged about $18 trillion in foreign investment, 'plummeting' food prices, and tariffs set to replace income taxes — ignoring a Supreme Court smackdown. Meanwhile, he launched subtle war drums against Iran with claims of roadside bomb attacks, missile threats, and shady nuclear ambitions, all while never mentioning ongoing Epstein fallout despite victims being in the chamber. In short, it was 108 minutes of Trump's reality TV meets rally meets national pep talk, concluding with a dramatic nod to 1776, preaching a future brighter than a circus spotlight on election night.
