Trump breaks State of the Union record: How long did he speak?

President Donald Trump delivered a record-breaking State of the Union address at the U.S. Capitol in Washington D.C. on Tuesday night, proclaiming that his administration had ushered in 'the golden age of America' during its first year back in office, while fulfilling his promise of delivering an exceptionally long speech. The address, which lasted approximately one hour and 48 minutes, surpassed previous records for State of the Union addresses, demonstrating Trump's characteristic style of lengthy oratory. This duration was notably longer than recent addresses by his predecessors, with the previous record being held by Bill Clinton in 1995 at one hour and 28 minutes. The extended format allowed for detailed discussion of various initiatives, including infrastructure plans, healthcare proposals, and economic statistics that highlighted what the administration considers its first-year accomplishments. Political analysts noted that the length served both as a demonstration of Trump's stamina and as an attempt to dominate the media narrative following his return to office.
