President Trump delivers nearly two-hour State of the Union address

U.S. President Donald Trump delivered his state of the union address last night...appearing to largely stick to his script.

In the longest address in history at almost 2 hours, Trump gave a preview of how the Republicans may try to campaign to keep control of Congress in this fall's midterms.

Trump notably reined in the anger he displayed just a few days ago toward the Supreme Court justices who struck down his global tariff regime. He praised Olympians and took aim at two of his favourite targets: the Democrats and what he calls "illegal alien criminals."
