Donald Trump's Joint Session Speech Was Full Of Lies And Contradictions

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

67% : Trump spoke for 1 hour and 39 minutes -- the longest such speech in the last 61 years.
66% : "America is back," Trump said and was met with loud applause and chants of "USA! USA!"
66% : As Republicans stood up and cheered, Green also stood in defiance, shaking his cane in the air at President Trump during the opening minutes of his speech.
50% : Source: Win McNamee / Getty As previously reported by NewsOne: Trump began his address by bragging about his election win, which he claimed was a landslide, giving him a mandate from the people to force his agenda on America through a boatload of executive orders.
48% : Trump didn't address any real policies and seemed only interested in making the kind of campaign rally statements that serve as dog whistles to his base.
46% : Source: SAUL LOEB / Getty "The days of rule by unelected bureaucrats are over," was another line in the speech -- one that is currently being contradicted by the way Elon Musk and his Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) are being allowed to run through the government and make cuts to federal jobs and programs, all without Musk having been elected or confirmed to any post within the U.S. government.
42% : " "We've ended the tyranny of so-called 'Diversity, Equity and Inclusion' policies all across the entire federal government and indeed the private sector and our military," Trump said.
38% : For his part, Trump made sure to attack what he calls "woke" culture and DEI initiatives -- attacks that have been popular with and parroted by his base.
37% : "Our country will be woke no longer," Trump said.
26% : The biggest contradiction of the night came when Trump introduced Elon Musk as the head of DOGE -- something the White House previously denied in a federal court filing -- and falsely claimed that Musk and his staff had found "hundreds of billions of dollars of fraud."
22% : After Green was removed, Trump continued his speech without much interference from other Democrats aside from the paper signs they held in the air any time he told a lie.
7% : Trump attacked the transgender community; made easily debunked claims about immigration and so-called "illegal immigrants" (while demonstrating that he still lacks a basic understanding of what the word "asylum" means as applied to immigrants); and blamed Joe Biden for the high price of eggs.
