‘Border Secure, Inflation Plummeting’: Trump Lists Major Turnaround in Address

President Donald Trump told lawmakers that when he last addressed Congress, he had “inherited a nation in crisis,” but claimed that in the past 12 months the country has undergone a dramatic turnaround. Trump said the border is now secure, inflation is falling, incomes are rising, and the economy is “roaring.” He also asserted that America’s global standing has been restored, declaring that U.S. adversaries are “scared” and that the nation is respected “perhaps like never before.” The remarks came during his latest address to a joint session of Congress, where he outlined what he described as a sweeping national comeback.
