President Trump just broke a record

Mr. Donald Trump has just become the US president with the longest first speech to Congress since 1981.

At 9:00 p.m. on March 4, US time (9:00 a.m. on March 5, Vietnam time), President Donald Trump gave his first speech before both houses of the US Congress since taking office on January 20.

A large number of guests and congressmen from all parties in the US Congress were present in the auditorium to listen to Mr. Trump's speech.

Although the speech was not finished, Mr. Trump made his mark by becoming the person with the longest speech in the history of first speeches to Congress by US presidents since 1981.

According to CNN statistics, Mr. Trump spoke for more than 1 hour and 39 minutes, surpassing the previous record of President Bill Clinton in 1993 (1 hour and 5 minutes). In 2017, when he first became the owner of the White House, Mr. Trump gave an official speech that lasted for a full hour before the US Congress.

In his first speech before Congress since returning to the White House for a second presidential term, Mr. Trump immediately declared "America is back."

He also quickly listed the work he had done, asserting that he had taken "swift and uncompromising action" to usher in "the greatest and most successful era in the history of our country." He was confident that more had been accomplished in just 43 days than most administrations in four or eight years, and that it was only just getting started.

President Trump said he has signed nearly 100 executive orders and has implemented more than 400 since taking office six weeks ago.

"Our administration is the most successful administration in the history of our country," he declared, saying that George Washington's presidency was "second" to his own.

There were many statements made by Mr. Trump in his speech and there was controversial information that was considered incorrect by the American media.

The chamber also witnessed two opposing halves of the US Congress, between the Republican side applauding when Mr. Trump spoke and the Democratic side remaining silent or holding signs of protest. Some Democratic congressmen left the chamber while Mr. Trump was still speaking.
