Freshman Michigan Senator Elissa Slotkin delivered the Democrats’ response to President Trump’s address to Congress on Tuesday. 

President Trump spoke for roughly one hour and forty minutes. Slotkin spoke for roughly ten minutes.

“We just went through another fraught election season,” said Slotkin, acknowledging the brutal loss and attacking President Trump as anti-Democracy.

During her speech, Stotkin attacked President Trump, attacking his “Peace Through Strength” slogan inspired by Ronald Reagan and saying that Reagan is “rolling in his grave” after President Trump stood up for America and kicked Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky out of the White House.

However, as The Gateway Pundit reported, Zelensky came begging for a truce after President Trump showed more strength by cutting off military aid to Ukraine if they want to fight an endless war. She then compared Zelensky’s outburst and refusal to sign an already agreed upon peace agreement and minerals deal in the Oval Office to “a bad episode of reality TV.”

She further claimed that “Trump would have lost us the Cold War” and said an obvious lie that “he doesn’t believe we’re an exceptional nation.”

WATCH:

Slotkin: Today’s world is deeply interconnected. Migration, cyber threats, AI, environmental destruction, terrorism. One nation cannot face these issues alone. We need friends in all corners, and our safety depends on it.

President Trump loves to say, peace through strength. That’s actually a line he stole from Ronald Reagan.

But let me tell you, after the spectacle that just took place in the Oval Office last week, Reagan must be rolling in his grave.

We all want an end to the war in Ukraine, but Reagan understood that true strength required America to combine our military and economic might with moral clarity. And that scene in the Oval Office wasn’t just a bad episode of reality TV.

It summed up Trump’s whole approach to the world. He believes in cozying up to dictators like Vladimir Putin and kicking our friends like the Canadians in the teeth. He sees American leadership as merely a series of real estate transactions.

As a Cold War kid, I’m thankful it was Reagan and not Trump in office in the 1980s. Trump would have lost us the Cold War. Donald Trump’s actions suggest that in his heart, he doesn’t believe we’re an exceptional nation.

He clearly doesn’t think we should lead the world. Look, America is not perfect, but I stand with the majority of Americans who believe we are still exceptional, unparalleled, and I would rather have American leadership over Chinese or Russian leadership any day of the week.

Slotkin also criticized President Trump’s tariffs on Canada, Mexico, and China and reciprocal tariffs across the board.

“His tariffs on allies like Canada will raise prices on energy, lumber, and cars and start a trade war that will hurt manufacturing and farmers,” she claimed while ignoring the nearly two trillion dollars in manufacturing investments that President Trump has already secured as a result of the tariffs.

Later in her response, Slotkin put out a call to activists to “[fight] for this Democracy” and protest, likely violently.

Watch her full response below:

The White House issued a response to Slotkin’s remarks:

“Slotkin voted against overturning Biden’s tailpipe emissions rule, a rule that would force automakers to sell more electric vehicles, killing auto manufacturing jobs. President Trump stood up for American consumers and autoworkers and repealed this de facto electric vehicle mandate.

• Slotkin voted against congressional disapproval of Biden’s EPA rule seeking to limit tailpipe emissions.
  • The House Budget Committee called the regulation “a de facto ban on the sale of gas-powered and traditional hybrid vehicles.”
  • Research shows that EV mandates would kill thousands of jobs:
    • America First Policy Institute: New Report Exposes Biden-Harris’s Proposed EV Mandates to Cost 200,000 American Jobs
      • “The Midwest will suffer the most, with Michigan (-37,000), Indiana (-24,000), and Ohio (-21,000) facing the highest job losses.”
• A UAW study from 2019 projected that EVs would kill 35,000 jobs at its plants.

Slotkin has repeatedly voted for open borders. President Trump has moved swiftly to secure our borders with attempted crossings in February at the lowest number ever recorded.

• In May 2023, Slotkin voted against the H.R. 2, the Secure the Border Act.
• In February 2019, Slotkin voted to terminate President Trump’s declaration of an emergency at the southern border.
  • In March 2019, Slotkin again voted again to terminate the declaration in an attempt to override President Trump’s veto.
• In July 2024, Slotkin voted against a resolution “Strongly condemning the Biden Administration and its Border Czar, Kamala Harris’s, failure to secure the United States border.”
• Slotkin said, “I don’t believe that anyone really thinks a wall from sea to shining sea is needed to make us safer.”

Slotkin is just another out-of-touch politician that wants to hollow out American manufacturing and let criminals flood into our communities.“

Polls after President Trump’s address to a Joint Session of Congress on Tuesday night show overwhelming approval for the President’s speech. 

President Trump gave an incredible speech about American greatness, touted the success of his first six weeks, and layed out a plan to continue to make our country great again.

However, as The Gateway Pundit reported, Democrats were irate at President Trump’s success and announcements that the border is closed, woke insanity is over, and we are on the path to world peace under President Trump. Nancy Pelosi was visibly disturbed by the President’s speech.

Far-left Democrat Rep. Al Green (TX) was forcibly removed from the Capitol over his repeated disruptions and for screaming at Mike Johnson after he was warned against causing a disturbance.

And Americans got to see how unhinged and far-left the Democratic party is as they overwhelmingly agreed with the President's message.

Far-left CNN was forced to air a brutal rejection of the Democratic Party, with 69% of Americans approving of President Trump's speech.

The CNN/SSRS poll showed that 44% of viewers had a "very positive" view of President Trump's speech, and 25% had a "somewhat positive" view.

Only 31% had a negative view of the President's speech.

CBS News polled 1,207 viewers who were 51% Republican, 27% Independent, and 20% Democratic voters.

It found that 91% of watchers care about the issues that Trump spoke about.

The speech made 68% feel hopeful, and 54% felt proud. 27% of viewers say they felt worried, and 16% say they were angry:

Over 70% described the speech as "presidential," "entertaining," and "inspiring," with 62% calling it "unifying" and 46% calling it "divisive." The Democrats were nothing but divisive as President Trump called to unify across party lines to help Make America Great Again.

Viewers also said by a margin of 68% to 32% that Trump has "a clear plan for inflation."

The viewers also overwhelmingly like Trump's policies to cut government waste, secure the border, stop the war in Ukraine, and implement tariffs on foreign imports to attract companies back to America.

Nearly 80% of viewers also said that Trump was tough enough or needed to get tougher on crime, showing that Americans are sick of the Democrats' soft-on-crime policies that let murderers and rapists roam their streets.

Between his Inauguration Speech on January 20, 2025, his beat down of the World Economic Forum attendees a few days later, and now his March 4, 2025, Joint Session Address, President Trump has delivered a beating to the disorganized remnants of the Deep State.

President Trump reigned over the U.S. House chamber in his Joint Session speech last night as a super-human figure.  The trolling of the Deep Staters by President Trump was merciless as he pounded the Democrats over and over and over.

Representative Al Green (D-TX-9) appeared to be the nominated Democrat personality to try to create a disruptive spectacle.

At 9:25pm Eastern Standard Time, Green was escorted out of the chamber after direction from House Speaker Michael Johnson to the House Sergeant at Arms.

Green had been standing, shouting, and waving about his cane wildly, for several minutes which made him look like he thought he was in the British Parliament.

Representative Green is no stranger to bombastic and scandalous behavior.

In 2017 he announced an agreement with a former staffer over allegations of sexual assault.  The staffer, Lucinda Daniels, first made the charges ten years earlier.

Al Green’s 9^th District includes parts of Harris County and Houston.  For anyone who knows about Election Integrity in Texas, they realize Harris County and Houston are ground zero for Texas election malfeasance.

The lame performance by Green and the other Democrats waving their comical little signs likely attracted few new followers to their side.

Green’s compatriots sat stoic and silent while the rest of the audience enthusiastically gave moving standing ovations to mothers of victims killed by violent illegal aliens, teen age cancer patients, or Border Patrol Agents wounded in shootouts with Cartel gang members along the Southern Border.

The Democrats looked like sore losers the whole night.  Scott Jennings, who is a one-man, conservative wrecking ball on CNN, demolished the Dems for their media failures and unforced errors.

“The Democrats… couldn’t find it in their hearts to stand for objectively good things, including the 95-year-old mother of Marc Fogel, who got rescued from a Russian prison” Scott said, pummeling his colleagues on the CNN Panel.

Scott continued the verbal beatings of his fellow panel members with his assessment for the night, “This was a horrific night for the opposition party…Democrats came into this speech lost and defeated by Donald Trump…it looks to me like they’re even more lost and even more defeated than when the speech started!”

President Trump had multiple, excellent quotes in his relentless jabs and punches as he pointed toward the seated Democrats.

Regarding Trump’s quick and successful actions to secure the Southern Border, resulting in an almost total collapse of illegal border crossings, President Trump gave the line of the night, “The media and our friends in the Democratic Party kept saying we needed new legislation to secure the border. But it turns out all we really needed was a new President!”

Todd Bensman, noted Southern Border Security expert, said the decisive Executive Order from President Trump on Inauguration Day took an hour to implement by the Border Patrol.  They simply deployed and did their jobs once directed by the President.

Senator Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) was interrupted from reading her phone by President Trump when he called out Warren by her Trump-given nickname when he was talking about ending the war in Ukraine.

President Trump said, “You wanna keep it (the War in Ukraine) going for another five years? Yeah. Pocahontas says yes”.  Warren’s reaction to being singled out for wanting to keep the war going?  She started applauding.

A bizarre reaction for someone just made fun of by the President during a televised address broadcast seen around the world.

Trump continued the total route of the Democrats with a long list of fraud, waste, and abuse uncovered by Elon Musk and the Department of Government Efficiencies (DOGE).

The next best line of the night from President Trump was, “$40 million dollars to improve the social and economic inclusion of sedentary migrants, no one knows what that is”.  Former CIA Analyst, now Senator Elissa Slotkin was assigned clean up duty by giving the rebuttal but could do little but dig further.

President Trump gave two prior, epic speeches, one in late 2019 and another in early 2020, that stand out among all Presidential speeches.

The first was his September 24, 2019, General Assembly address at the United Nations where he minced no words on the life-or-death struggle against Globalism as he strode to the world stage as a giant.

The next was his State of the Union (SOTU) Speech on February 4, 2020 – an even greater speech as he was welcomed as a victorious General in a raucous listing of the dramatic successes his Administration had achieved.

Promises made, promises kept despite the scheming of the villains of the Deep State nor Nancy Pelosi’s juvenile tearing of the speech he was required to hand to her.

The Chinese Communist Party, the World Economic Forum supporters, and their American enablers saw no alternative other than unleashing a manufactured virus and worldwide mass psychosis in a desperate attempt to stop the Colossus of Mar-A-Lago within days of the February 2020 SOTU.  It didn’t work.  Trump is back, stronger than ever.

It was a horrendous night for the Democrats, but a triumphant return of President Trump.

He earned a right to gloat as he taunted the Democrat lawfare against him and all Americans when he said, “How did that work out?”.

Trump’s Joint Session speech was as relentless as his pace of Executive Orders.  It is electrifying history to watch in real-time.

All viewpoints are personal and do not reflect the viewpoints of any organization.

Chaos erupted during President Donald Trump’s congressional address on Tuesday night as unhinged Representative Al Green (D-TX) threw a tantrum, disrupting a speech meant to unify the nation and highlight the administration’s bold vision.

The disgraceful outburst forced Speaker Mike Johnson to intervene, ordering the Sergeant-at-Arms to kick Green out of the chamber like the disgrace he’s proven himself to be.

But that wasn’t the end of Green’s unhinged antics — he’s now doubled down, vowing to push yet another baseless impeachment against Trump.

As President Trump was outlining his administration’s achievements and future plans, Green rudely interrupted, shouting that Trump “has no mandate” to enact his policies. His childish and desperate attempt to derail Trump’s address forced Speaker Johnson to intervene immediately:

“Members are directed to uphold and maintain the quorum in the House and to cease any further disruptions. That’s your warning,” Johnson warned.

Green ignored the warning and continued shouting, leaving Speaker Johnson with no choice but to order the Sergeant-at-Arms to remove him from the chamber.

“Finding that members continue to engage in willful and concerted disruption of proper decorum, the chair now directs the sergeant at arms to restore order. Remove this gentleman from the chamber,” Johnson said.

And just like that, Al Green was escorted out like a tantrum-throwing child who couldn’t handle the reality of a strong and successful Trump administration.

Outside the chamber, Green wasted no time whining to reporters, painting himself as some noble martyr for the “poor people” he claims Trump is out to destroy.

Reporter:
Sir, what were you shouting to the President?

Al Green:
The President said he had a mandate, and I was making it clear to the President that he has no mandate to cut Medicaid. I have people who are very fearful. These are poor people, and they have only Medicaid in their lives when it comes to their health care. I want him to know that his budget calls for deep cuts in Medicaid. We need to save Medicaid, protect it.

We need to raise the cap on Social Security. There’s a possibility that it’s going to be hurt, and we have to protect Medicare. These are the safety net programs that people in my congressional district depend on. This President seems to care less about them and more about the number of people he can remove from the various programs that have been so helpful to so many.

When pressed on whether yelling like a lunatic was the best way to make his point, Green doubled down with a bizarre, repetitive rant.

Reporter:
Is yelling the best way to get that across?

Al Green:
It is the best way to get it across to a person who uses his incivility against our civility. He is a person who has consistently used incivility against civility.

Green stated that he is willing to accept any punishment for his disruptive stunt. It can be recalled that the House Freedom Caucus has issued a strong warning to Democrat lawmakers considering such protests during the event.

The conservative group has made it clear that they will push for censure against any member or guest who attempts to disrupt the proceedings.

Reporter:
Is that the only punishment, that you were kicked out, sir? Is there something—

Al Green:
I don’t know. Whatever the punishment is, I’m not fighting it. This is about the people who are being punished by virtue of losing their health care. This is the richest country in the world, and we have people who don’t have good health care. We’ve got to do better. Now we’re about to cut Medicaid, which is for poor people. Health care has become wealth care for many, and we can’t afford to let that happen.

But the real bombshell? Green’s unhinged obsession with impeaching Trump is back in full swing.

Reporter:
Is that the only thing you’re protesting?

Al Green:
No, I have other things I’m protesting. I’m also working on my articles of impeachment. This President is unfit. He should not hold office. Thirty-four felony convictions, twice impeached.

President Donald Trump delivered a historic and fiery Joint Address to Congress, outlining his administration’s sweeping actions and future plans while declaring that the United States has entered a “golden age of America.”

“America is back,” the 47th President proclaimed to roaring applause from Republican lawmakers, while many Democrats sat stone-faced, refusing to acknowledge the undeniable momentum sweeping the nation.

A Landslide Victory and the Will of the People

Opening his address, President Trump reminded the chamber that his re-election was a historic mandate from the American people.

“We won all seven swing states, giving us an electoral college victory of 312 votes. We won the popular vote by big numbers, and won counties across our country, 2,700 to 525 on a map that reads almost completely red for Republican. Now, for the first time in modern history, more Americans believe that our country is headed in the right direction than the wrong direction. In fact, it’s an astonishing record: 27-point swing, the most ever,” Trump said, prompting chants of “USA! USA!” from the Republican side of the chamber.

Despite predictable outbursts from Democrats—most notably Rep. Al Green (D-TX), who was swiftly removed from the chamber by the Sergeant-at-Arms—Trump remained focused, delivering a speech brimming with confidence.

Border Security: Ending the Biden-Era Crisis

In one of the most powerful moments of the night, President Trump declared victory in securing America’s borders, contrasting his administration’s decisive action with the chaos under Joe Biden.

“Within hours of taking the oath of office, I declared a national emergency on our southern border, and I deployed the U.S. military and border patrol to repel the invasion of our country. And what a job they’ve done,” Trump said, as Republican lawmakers erupted in cheers.

The President cited historic lows in illegal border crossings, a stark contrast to the flood of criminals, drug dealers, and terrorists who had entered under Biden’s disastrous policies.

Trump also announced sweeping new measures, including the mass deportation of illegal alien criminals and the official designation of violent Mexican drug cartels and MS-13 as foreign terrorist organizations—a move that will allow the U.S. military to take decisive action in eradicating these criminal networks.

Economic Boom: “Drill, Baby, Drill” and Tariff Power

Trump’s economic strategy remains laser-focused on America First policies, promising a manufacturing renaissance and an energy revolution.

“We have more liquid gold under our feet than any nation on earth and by far. And now I fully authorize the most talented team ever assembled to go and get it. It’s called drill, baby, drill!” he declared to thunderous applause.

The President announced reciprocal tariffs on foreign competitors, slamming China, India, Mexico, and even U.S. allies for years of unfair trade practices.

“ We have been ripped off for decades by nearly every country on Earth, and we will not let that happen any longer,” Trump stated, before announcing the April 2nd rollout of his new Reciprocal Tariff Act.

Further, Trump unveiled 100% tax-deductibility for American-made cars, a 25% tariff on foreign aluminum and steel, and the elimination of federal subsidies for electric vehicles—ensuring the American auto industry dominates once again.

Draining the Swamp: “The Days of Rule by Unelected Bureaucrats Are Over”

President Trump made it clear that his second term is about restoring power to the people and eradicating the deep state.

“We ordered all federal workers to return to the office. They will either show up for work in person or be removed from their job,” Trump announced.

He went further, unveiling a historic restructuring of the federal government, including:

• The abolition of all diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) programs in the federal government.
• The termination of Joe Biden’s radical Green New Scam and withdrawal from the Paris Climate Accord.
• The creation of the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), led by Elon Musk, to root out billions in government waste.

Identified Spending & Wasteful Allocations:

• $22 billion from HHS to provide free housing and cars for illegal aliens.
• $45 million for diversity, equity, and inclusion scholarships in Burma.
• $40 million to improve the social and economic inclusion of sedentary migrants (unclear purpose).
• $8 million to promote LGBTQI+ initiatives in Lesotho.
• $60 million for indigenous peoples and Afro-Colombian empowerment in Central America.
• $8 million for making mice transgender.
• $32 million for a left-wing propaganda operation in Moldova.
• $10 million for male circumcision in Mozambique.
• $20 million for an Arab Sesame Street program in the Middle East.
• $1.9 billion allocated to the recently created Decarbonization of Homes Committee, with involvement from Stacey Abrams.
• $3.5 million consulting contract for lavish fish monitoring.
• $1.5 million for voter confidence programs in Liberia.
• $14 million for social cohesion efforts in Mali.
• $59 million for illegal alien hotel rooms in New York City.
• $250,000 to increase vegan local climate action innovation in Zambia.
• $42 million for social and behavior change programs in Uganda.
• $14 million for improving public procurement in Serbia.
• $47 million for improving learning outcomes in Asia.
• $101 million for DEI (Diversity, Equity, Inclusion) contracts at the Department of Education, the highest amount ever paid.

The Government Accountability Office (GAO) estimates annual fraud in the U.S. exceeds $500 billion.

Social Security Fraud Findings:

• 4.7 million Social Security members are listed between ages 100-109.
• 3.6 million listed between ages 110-119.
• 3.47 million listed between ages 120-129.
• 3.9 million listed between ages 130-139.
• 3.5 million listed at age 140.

Restoring Law & Order: The War on Crime and Woke Culture

President Trump painted a grim picture of Democrat-run cities overrun with crime, vowing to restore law and order.

“I have already signed an executive order requiring a mandatory death penalty for anyone who murders a police officer,” Trump declared to massive applause.

He also vowed to eliminate woke policies corrupting the nation’s institutions, announcing:

• The ban on critical race theory in public schools.
• The abolition of transgender ideology from the federal government.
• The restoration of biological reality in women’s sports.

Foreign Policy: America’s Strength Restored

Shifting to foreign affairs, Trump announced the capture of the terrorist mastermind behind the Abbey Gate bombing in Afghanistan, sending a strong message that American justice is swift and decisive.

Furthermore, he reaffirmed America’s support for reclaiming the Panama Canal, citing its importance to national security, and unveiled an unprecedented diplomatic effort to bring Greenland into the United States.

Trump made it clear that his administration would take a hard line on America’s adversaries. He announced reciprocal tariffs against countries that impose unfair trade barriers, vowed to reclaim the Panama Canal, and pledged to halt the flood of fentanyl coming from Mexico.

One of the most significant moments of the address came when Trump announced a potential breakthrough in the Russia-Ukraine war.

“Earlier today, I received an important letter from President Zelensky of Ukraine. Ukraine is ready to come to the negotiating table as soon as possible to bring lasting peace closer,” Trump said.

He also confirmed that Russia had signaled a willingness to negotiate and vowed to end the war quickly, a stark contrast to the endless funding and conflict under the Biden administration.

“Wouldn’t that be beautiful? It’s time to stop this madness. It’s time to halt the killing. It’s time to end this senseless war,” he urged.

Justice System Overhaul and ‘Weaponized Government’

Trump lambasted the“weaponized government,” vowing to dismantle political targeting by federal agencies.

He touted his administration’s efforts to restore “fair, equal, and impartial justice,” starting with reforms at the FBI and DOJ.

“We ended weaponized government where a sitting president is allowed to viciously prosecute his political opponent—like me. How did that work out? Not too good, not too good,” he quipped.

He also announced a mandatory death penalty for anyone who murders a police officer, stating, “We are going to get these cold-blooded killers off our streets.”

Trump’s Unyielding Tribute to America’s Heroes

One of the most emotional moments of the night came when President Trump paid tribute to Corey Comperatore, the heroic firefighter who sacrificed his life to shield his wife and daughters from the bullets of a deranged assassin.

The address also shined a light on individuals who have fought through unimaginable adversity, including young D.J. Daniel, a 13-year-old who defied all odds in his battle against cancer. Doctors once gave him five months to live, but six years later, D.J. stood in the chamber, a living testament to God’s grace and the American fighting spirit.

In a breathtaking moment, President Trump announced that D.J. would become an official honorary agent of the United States Secret Service.

President Trump also honored Laken Riley, a bright and beloved nursing student whose life was tragically cut short by an illegal alien criminal. Addressing her grieving mother and sister in the gallery, he reassured them that her legacy would not be forgotten.

In addition to those who sacrificed, President Trump hailed America’s dreamers—those who work tirelessly to achieve greatness. Among them was Jason Hartley, a young man carrying the torch of his family’s military service. With a 4.46 GPA and an unrelenting passion to serve, Jason’s dream was to attend West Point.

President Trump also paid tribute to Jocelyn Nungaray, a 12-year-old girl who was tragically murdered in Houston, Texas, by two illegal immigrants. He renamed the Anahuac National Wildlife Refuge to the Jocelyn Nungaray National Wildlife Refuge. The order is in memory of

Final Rallying Cry: ‘The Golden Age of America Has Just Begun’

In an electrifying conclusion, Trump framed his presidency as a fight to reclaim America’s greatness.

They lit the world with electricity, broke free of the force of gravity, fired up the engines of American industry, vanquished the communist fascists and Marxists all over the world, and gave us countless modern wonders. Sculpted out of iron, glass, and steel.

We stand on the shoulders of these pioneers who won and built the modern age. These workers who poured their sweat into the skylines of our cities, these warriors who shed their blood on fields of battle, who gave everything they had.
