The last time President Donald Trump delivered an address to Congress, he was facing impeachment, a new virus was emerging, and the Democrats were in the process of nominating his challenger. Five years later, the political landscape has undergone significant changes.
Since his second term began, President Trump, with the guidance of his top adviser Elon Musk, has made substantial changes to the federal government. Republicans now hold full control of Congress, and Trump has been actively reshaping the geopolitical order, including efforts to broker a peace deal between Russia and Ukraine.
