According to Neilson, when President Donald Trump delivered the longest State of the Union (SOTU) address in history on Feb. 17, 32.6 million Americans tuned in to see what the president had to say about issues and policies that directly affected them and their loved ones. Of those viewers, 72.4% were aged 55 and older.
However, as NBC reported, out of his entire 107-minute speech, Trump spent less than four minutes talking about what is arguably the most important concern to retirees: Health care. Seniors were eager for answers and workers nearing retirement had a stake in the president’s message too, as changes to programs will greatly impact their plans.
