Headline: UNCAPTIONED: Key Takeaways from Donald Trump's 2026 State of the Union Address
Caption: Trump reignites immigration debate, accusing Democrats of supporting open borders. In his speech, Trump singled out "angel moms" and criticized Democrats for enabling a border crisis, urging them to support stronger immigration enforcement. He challenged lawmakers to agree that protecting American citizens should come before protecting illegal immigrants. On tariffs, Trump made a notable statement, claiming Congress should not be involved in codifying his tariff policies, even though they are legally responsible for tariffs. Trump predicted that tariffs would eventually replace income tax, but many experts remain skeptical of this claim. Democrats staged protests during the speech, with Rep. Al Green escorted out for a previous outburst and other lawmakers calling Trump a liar. Trump used his speech to award medals and medals of honor, including to Korean War veterans, alongside a public family reunion for Enrique Márquez. Although Trump avoided key vulnerabilities, he did not mention the reasons for a government shutdown or the controversy surrounding Epstein files. Trump addressed the potential for military strikes on Iran, defending his past actions and warning against Iran’s nuclear ambitions. He made strong claims about voter fraud, alleging that Democrats "cheat" in elections, despite no evidence of widespread fraud.
