Viewers who tuned in to President Donald Trump’s speech mostly approved of what he said, but took issue with Democrats’ acts of protest.
The audience, which was heavily Republican, had a positive overall view on Trump’s first address of his second term to a joint session of Congress. Trump spoke for 100 minutes against a backdrop of a turbulent stock market, a chaotic federal workforce undergoing mass layoffs and dissent from Democrats sitting before him. Yet, he touted his first six weeks in office as “the most successful in the history of our nation.”
