Headline: UNCAPTIONED: Trump Declares “Golden Age” Amid Economic Doubts and Political Tensions
Caption: Trump Declares “Golden Age” Amid Economic Doubts and Political Tensions. U.S. President Donald Trump used his State of the Union address to declare a new “golden age of America,” touting tax cuts, record stock markets, and falling inflation ahead of November’s midterm elections. He blamed high living costs on former President Joe Biden, though polls show many voters hold Trump responsible for the ongoing affordability crunch. His speech—lasting nearly one hour and 47 minutes—comes as approval ratings slump and after the U.S. Supreme Court struck down most of his tariffs. Trump highlighted immigration enforcement and awarded Olympic gold medalist Connor Hellebuyck the Presidential Medal of Freedom. Democrats pushed back sharply. Virginia Governor Abigail Spanberger accused him of failing working families, while Representative Ilhan Omar shouted protests during the speech. Trump offered little clarity on Iran or Ukraine, keeping foreign policy largely in the background as political divisions deepened in Washington.
