Trump paints optimistic picture of America's golden age during historic congressional address

'Our spirit is back. Our pride is back. Our confidence is back.'

President Donald Trump delivered a hopeful speech in his 90-minute address to the joint session of Congress on Tuesday, recapping the resurgence of American greatness and success.

"Six weeks ago, I stood beneath the dome of this Capitol and proclaimed the dawn of the golden age of America," Trump said. "From that moment on, it has been nothing but swift and unrelenting action to usher in the greatest and most successful era in the history of the country."

Throughout the speech, Trump addressed the importance of restoring the economy, rescuing the working class, bolstering American energy, cracking down on illegal immigration, and reclaiming American sovereignty.

"We have accomplished more in 43 days than most administrations accomplish in four years or eight years, and we are just getting started," Trump said. "I return to this chamber tonight to report that America’s momentum is back. Our spirit is back. Our pride is back. Our confidence is back. And the American dream is surging, bigger and better than ever before.

"The American dream is unstoppable, and our country is on the verge of a comeback the likes of which the world has never witnessed and perhaps will never witness again," Trump said.

Trump noted the sweeping accomplishments his administration has made in just six weeks since he was inaugurated. Trump signed nearly 100 executive orders and has taken over 400 executive actions to implement the MAGA mandate and to restore "common sense, safety, optimism, and wealth" across America.

"The people elected me to do the job, and I'm doing it," Trump said. "In fact, it has been stated by many that the first month of our presidency is the most successful in the history of our nation."
