Photos from Donald Trump’s State of the Union address to congress

US President Donald Trump on Tuesday night gave his annual State of
the Union speech to Congress on Capitol Hill where he discussed his
achievements, plans for the new year and the upcoming US presidential
elections.

The one hour and 20 minute speech, which happened hours before the
Senate will likely vote to clear Trump of Impeachment trial charges,
veered back and forth between bragging about the American economy and
his killing of Iranian General Qasem Soleimani, handing out awards and
reuniting a military spouse with her husband, freshly home from
Afghanistan.

Republicans could be seen during the speech cheering on Trump with
chants of ‘four more years’ heard frequently while Democratic lawmakers
wearing White got to their feet to shout down Donald Trump on healthcare
during a vocal floor battle led by Reps. Ilhan Omar and Rashida Tlaib.

One of the many jaw-dropping moments of the night came when Trump
introduced Amy Williams of Fort Brag, North Carolina, who was there with
her two children and whose husband Sgt Townsend Williams was deployed
in Afghanistan. Trump, in a stunning move, announced he was back from
deployment, to which Amy shed tears of joy.

In another jaw dropping moment, Trump announced he will be presenting
the Presidential Medal of Freedom, – the highest honor given to a
civilian, to Rush Limbaugh, the TV/radio host who recently announced he
had stage four cancer.

The address then ended in a sour/bitter note as House Speaker Nancy
Pelosi ripped apart her copy of President Trump’s State of the Union
address after he finished speaking on Tuesday night.
