President Donald Trump, 79, has been accused of fabricating a tale about Democrats applauding his February State of the Union address, prompting a fierce online backlash branding him as 'hallucinating' and suffering a 'senior moment.' The Republican leader recounted the supposed ovation during a recent speech, but footage and eyewitness accounts paint a picture of stony silence and outright heckling from the opposition.
Donald Trump's address to Congress lasted a record one hour and 47 minutes, clocking in as the longest in history. Democrats, much like the previous year, opted for visible protests rather than polite claps, with several lawmakers holding banners and shouting retorts.
