The theme of the speech is “the renewal of the American Dream.”

Rates and high prices

Former presidential speechwriters about what Trump should spell in his address
The speech will probably offer him a platform to explain his controversial tariff movements that are widely stranded by critics, and to outline how he will fight continuous inflation.
Democrats and even some Republicans warn that rates could further stimulate inflation and increase prices even higher. Moreover, Democrats claim that “Donald Trump has done nothing to lower the costs for you.”

Inflation, who has chased former President Joe Biden for a large part of his four years in the White House, was an important problem that brought Trump back to presidency.
However, Trump has not spoken much about inflation since the return to power, except to blame Biden for continuous high prices. He acknowledged that consumers could feel “some pain” of his rates, but said they are needed to stimulate the production of the nation.
“If companies move to the United States, there are no rates !!!”, Trump wrote in a social media after hours for his address.
The government Krimpen and Elon Musk
Undoubtedly the biggest point of attention during the opening weeks of Trump’s second administration comes from his recently established Department of Government Efficiency (Doge). Trump called Elon Musk – The richest person in the world and the Chief Executive of Tesla and SpaceX – to steer Doge.
Political strategists weigh what Trump should do in his speech
DOGE has implemented federal agencies since Trump was inaugurated, causing the White House to argue, was billions of wasteful federal editions. It has also taken a meat hook to the federal workforce, resulting in a huge and controversial shrinking of employees. The movements of DOGE have activated a whole series of lawsuits in response.

Trump has defended and welcomed the movements of Doge. Although the public opinion survey suggests that Americans approve the waste from the government waste and reducing a bloated bureaucracy, a growing number has a negative image of Musk and ensuring that he has too much power.
The speech gives Trump the chance to explain the mission of Musk with Doge.
What does Trump say about Ukraine and Russia?
Trump is expected to describe his plan to end the war in Ukraine, which was activated three years ago by the Russian invasion of his neighbor.
The speech comes four days after last week’s verbal collision in the Oval Office between Ukrainian President Volodyymyr Zenskyy, Trump and Vice President JD Vance. The tense meeting and Trump’s start -up of the Ukrainians from the White House, who set a mineral resource agreement between Washington and Kiev, was seen as an important step to reach a deal to end the bloody war with Moscow.

On Tuesday, however, Zenskyy said that he was ready for peace negotiations after a “regrettable” meeting in the White House.
The speech gives Trump a platform to explain his diplomatic efforts and to ward off criticism from Democrats and a handful of Republicans that he reads from the Playbook of Russian President Vladimir Putin.
“He is going to dive in foreign policy – talk about his intention to end the war in Ukraine,” Leavitt said in her interview with “Fox and Friends”.
Trump told reporters on Monday that he would talk about the minerals deal in his speech.
Immigration and border security
Border Security has long been Trump’s characteristic problem and was an important element in his successful 2024 campaign to recover the presidency, and since the return to the White House, the president has set up illegal immigration.
Trump has suspended asylum efforts and launched a massive deportation program, but he and his administration want to speed up efforts, and he will use his speech to ask for help.
Leavitt emphasized that Trump is going to ask “Tonight from the congress: we need more border financing to continue these deportations.”
The Theatrics
That Donald Trump will appear before the congress; Will it be a disciplined president who usually adheres to his teleprompter, or will it be the freewheeling and unpredictable Trump who between subjects and issues zigzags zigzags in what he likes to call ‘the Weef’?
Will it be a dual Trump that calls for national unit, or a partisan president who gives birth earlier grievances?

And how will legislators in the living room respond to the address?
