2026 年 2 月 25 日
昨晚,唐纳德·J·特朗普总统发表了创纪录的国情咨文——美国历史上最长的一次——宣布我们国家的新黄金时代已经到来,距离他变革性的第二任期仅一年。带着无限的乐观和对我们国家的深深自豪,特朗普总统强调了他在确保边境安全、释放繁荣、实现能源主导地位和恢复美国实力方面取得的非凡进展,同时向普通的美国英雄表示衷心的敬意。
他有力而振奋人心的演讲立即赢得了媒体、评论员、立法者和草根人士的广泛赞誉——他们称赞其大胆的乐观态度、精湛的故事讲述以及对美国复兴的毫无歉意的庆祝。
他们是这样说的:
《纽约邮报》编辑委员会:“特朗普总统(再次)发表了他的 2026 年国情咨文演讲,这也许是他迄今为止最引人注目的演讲。这次活动是对美国成立 250 周年的一次毫不掩饰的庆祝活动,向从奥运会曲棍球冠军到 100 岁退伍军人的英雄致敬,并仔细重申了为什么国家最好的日子尚未到来。他是我们要求他成为的快乐战士,尽管他对上周最高法院关于关税的裁决表示失望,并明确区分了自己的计划和反对派的计划,但他传达了强烈而明确的信息,没有受到不满的影响。”
哥伦比亚广播公司新闻主持人托尼·多库皮尔:“这是一次非同寻常的演讲——历史上最长的联席会议,也是历史上最长的国情咨文。在某些方面,老式特朗普:好斗、民粹主义。由于其他原因,它也具有历史意义。”
《今日美国》专栏作家英格丽德·雅克:“在唐纳德·特朗普总统发表国情咨文之前,他承诺将讨论我们如何成为一个‘现在在我们有史以来最伟大的经济中表现良好’的国家。这就是他需要做的,总的来说,他做到了。”
福克斯新闻主持人劳拉·英格拉汉姆:“当未来的历史学家想要了解特朗普如何统治美国政治12年时,他们应该观看并阅读这篇演讲。”
评论员 Marc Thiessen:“确实是有史以来最好的 SOTU 之一。他将普通美国人的故事融入他的政策叙述中的方式是无与伦比的。”
福克斯商业网高级记者查尔斯·加斯帕里诺:“特朗普是一位巨人;令人惊叹的爱国演讲”
《联邦党人文集》的肖恩·戴维斯(Sean Davis):“从头到尾都是全垒打。多么精彩的演讲啊。”
OutKick 创始人克莱·特拉维斯 (Clay Travis) 表示:“这是一次非常积极的亲美演讲。我真的不知道怎么会有人不同意特朗普迄今为止所说的任何一句话。这都是基本常识——降低犯罪率、安全边境——以及通过体育和兵役来庆祝美国的卓越表现。”
布赖特巴特新闻华盛顿分社社长马修·博伊尔:“这次演讲绝对是特朗普最好的演讲,也可能是他迄今为止最好的演讲——不过,多年来他确实发表了一些激烈的言论。这正是他在中期选举前所需要的正确语气和信息。”
NewsNation 主持人凯蒂·帕夫利奇 (Katie Pavlich) 表示:“特朗普总统在整个演讲中编织了真实的美国人的故事——悲惨的和胜利的——真是太惊人了。”
前克林顿顾问马克·佩恩:“时代变了。特朗普发表了一场巧妙而感人的演讲,与一群来自各行各业的美国英雄一起阐述了他的政策。这可能是他阐述其国内和外交政策的最好的演讲。相比之下,民主党人则沦落为嘘声和口号,并带有不适合孩子的咒语。他们看起来愚蠢而渺小,而特朗普则实现了宏伟而崇高的目标,并通过真实人物的故事唤起了人们的情感。”
Blaze创始人格伦·贝克(Glenn Beck):“今晚,你在#stateoftheunion上看到了一个不同的@potus。他不是自大的人,也不是一个‘大话王’,这是特朗普的标志和最有趣的部分。然而今晚,他以不同的方式很有趣,但他并不傲慢,他很自信,他知道自己是谁,现在他做了什么。他去年的记录不需要任何吹嘘。它时间会证明一切,但我的猜测是,100 年后,将会是我们国家的国父乔治·华盛顿、联邦的救世主林肯和美国的复兴之父特朗普,谢谢 @realDonaldTrump。
国家边境巡逻委员会主席保罗·佩雷斯:“你看到一位总统希望确保美国人不会成为美国的少数群体。”
美国广播公司新闻华盛顿首席记者乔纳森·卡尔:“总的来说,就演讲而言,我的意思是,这具有,你知道的——他们有真正的爱国主义高光时刻,他讲述了伟大的故事……”
评论员斯科特·詹宁斯(Scott Jennings):“当晚的时刻:民主党人拒绝起立,就非法移民问题确认他们对美国公民的效忠。这将是这次演讲的标志性时刻。特朗普钉住了他们。”
Blaze 主持人史蒂夫·迪斯 (Steve Deace):“我认为这是特朗普迄今为止最好的国情咨文演讲。”
福克斯新闻撰稿人本·多梅内克:“对于共和党人来说幸运的是,特朗普非常擅长这一点。”
《联邦党人》主编莫莉·海明威:“特朗普要求人们起立,如果他们同意美国政府的首要职责是保护美国公民而不是非法外国人。没有民主党人起立。特朗普停了下来,理解进入中期选举这一时刻的重要性。”
NewsNation 主持人 Batya Ungar-Sargon:“表演技巧、舞台指导、令人惊喜的嘉宾透露,今晚确实是破纪录的!”
卡拉汉秀主持人格里·卡拉汉:“A+。特朗普最好的国情咨文,也许是他有史以来最好的演讲。非常挑衅、好斗、毫无歉意。就是坚定不移地支持美国。这正是我们投票的目的。”
马克·莱文:“这不仅仅是一次精彩的演讲,主要是总统本人。他是一位真正具有历史意义的领导人。我知道这会让华盛顿发疯。谁在乎呢。”
记者马特·泰比:“对于唐纳德·特朗普来说,我认为这是一次非常成功的演讲。”
巴克·塞克斯顿:“这是我见过的最好的国情咨文[,]不仅仅是特朗普。任何一位总统。”
艾莉·贝丝·斯塔基:“总的来说,特朗普的演讲很强烈,毫无歉意地描绘了我们未来的美国优先图景,同时强调了进步政策的致命失败。这让所有正确的人都生气了。”
《每日信号政治》编辑布拉德利·德夫林:“唐纳德·特朗普总统今晚发表了精彩的演讲。他为共和党制定了中期选举胜利的路线图。这是一个积极进取、美国优先的国家愿景,他向国会共和党人施加压力,要求他们实现这一目标。”
华盛顿自由灯塔主编埃利安娜·约翰逊:“他在演讲结束时写下了令我印象深刻的事情,我认为所有美国人......对这个国家都感到积极和美好。”
帕特里克·贝特-大卫:“这将在中期选举的竞选视频中使用。哪个美国选民会选择一位捍卫非法移民而不是美国人的候选人?谁?又一个民主党人犯错的 80/20 问题。甚至可能是 90/10 问题。双重愚蠢。”
奥巴马前高级顾问大卫·阿克塞尔罗德:“我认为(特朗普总统)做得很好……他非常熟练地利用了画廊。”

WHAT THEY ARE SAYING: President Trump Heralds America’s Golden Age in Historic State of the Union Address
The White House
February 25, 2026
Last night, President Donald J. Trump delivered a record-breaking State of the Union Address — the longest in American history — proclaiming the arrival of a new Golden Age for our nation just one year into his transformative second term. With boundless optimism and deep pride in our nation, President Trump highlighted his extraordinary progress in securing the border, unleashing prosperity, achieving energy dominance, and restoring American strength, while paying heartfelt tribute to everyday American heroes.
His powerful and uplifting address immediately earned widespread acclaim from media, commentators, lawmakers, and grassroots voices alike — who praised its bold optimism, masterful storytelling, and unapologetic celebration of American revival.
Here’s what they’re saying:
New York Post Editorial Board : “President Trump hit it out of the park (again) with his 2026 State of the Union address, perhaps his most remarkable speech yet. The event was an unabashed celebration of America in its 250th year, hailing heroes from the Olympic hockey champions to 100-year-old veterans — and with a close reiteration why the nation’s best days are yet to come. He was the happy warrior we’d asked him to be, with a strong, clear message untainted by grievance — even as he expressed his disappointment with last week’s Supreme Court ruling on tariffs and drew clear distinctions between his program and the opposition’s.”
CBS News host Tony Dokoupil : “It was an extraordinary speech — the longest to a joint session in history, the longest State of the Union in history. In some ways, vintage Trump: combative, populist. Historic for other reasons, as well.”
USA Today columnist Ingrid Jacques : “Ahead of President Donald Trump’s State of the Union address, he promised he’d discuss how we are a country ‘that’s now doing well with the greatest economy we’ve ever had.’ That’s what he needed to do, and overall, he did.”
Fox News host Laura Ingraham : “When future historians want to understand how Trump dominated American politics for 12 years, they should watch and read this speech.”
Commentator Marc Thiessen : “Truly one of the best SOTUs ever. The way he weaves the stories of ordinary Americans into his policy narrative is unmatched.”
Fox Business Network Senior Correspondent Charles Gasparino : “Trump is a colossus; an amazingly patriotic speech”
The Federalist’s Sean Davis : “Home run, from beginning to end. What a fantastic speech.”
OutKick founder Clay Travis : “This is an incredibly positive pro-America speech. I legit don’t know how anyone could disagree with a single thing Trump has said so far. It’s all basic common sense — lower crime, secure borders — and a celebration of American excellence through sports and military service.”
Breitbart News Washington Bureau Chief Matthew Boyle : “This speech was Trump at his absolute finest and may have been his best speech yet — he’s definitely given some bangers over the years though. Exactly the right tone and message he needed ahead of the midterms.”
NewsNation host Katie Pavlich : “President Trump weaving stories of real Americans – tragic and triumphant – throughout the entirety of his speech was phenomenal.”
Former Clinton advisor Mark Penn : “SOTU How times have changed. Trump gave an artful and moving speech illustrating his policies with a parade of hero Americans from all walks of life. Probably his best speech framing his domestic and foreign policies. In contrast the Democrats were reduced to cat calls and slogans with curse words inappropriate for kids. They looked silly and small while Trump hit big, lofty goals and evoked emotion though the stories of real people.”
The Blaze founder Glenn Beck : “Tonight, you are seeing a different @potus at the #stateoftheunion . He is not cocky or a ‘big talker’ which is a hallmark and the funniest part of Trump. Tonight however, he has been funny in different ways, but he is not arrogant, he is confident, he knows who he is, and now WHAT HE HAS DONE. His track record in this last year doesn’t need any boasting. It speaks for itself. Time will tell, but my guess is that in 100 years, it will be George Washington, Father of our country, Lincoln, the savior of the Union and Trump, the REFOUNDING Father of the US. Thank you @realDonaldTrump”
National Border Patrol Council President Paul Perez : “You saw a President who wants to make it a point to ensure that Americans don’t become the minority in America.”
ABC News Chief Washington Correspondent Jonathan Karl : “I would say overall, in terms of the speech, I mean, this had the makings of a, you know — they had real high moments of patriotism, great stories he told…”
Commentator Scott Jennings : “Moment of the night: Democrats refusing to stand to affirm their allegiance to American citizens over illegal aliens. Will be signature moment of this speech. Trump nailed them.”
The Blaze host Steve Deace : “I thought it was Trump’s best State of the Union speech yet.”
Fox News contributor Ben Domenech : “Fortunately for Republicans, Trump is very good at this.”
The Federalist Editor-in-Chief Mollie Hemingway : “Trump asks people to stand if they agree that the first duty of the American government is to protect American citizens and not illegal aliens. No Democrats stand. Trump pauses, understanding the significance of the moment heading into midterms.”
NewsNation host Batya Ungar-Sargon : “The showmanship, the stage direction, the surprise guest reveals, it’s truly off the charts tonight!”
The Callahan Show host Gerry Callahan : “A-plus. Trump’s best State of the Union, maybe his best speech ever. Wonderfully defiant, combative and unapologetic. Just relentlessly pro-American. Exactly what we voted for.”
Mark Levin : “It’s not just an excellent speech, it’s mostly POTUS himself. He’s a truly historic leader. I know it drives DC nuts. Who cares.”
Journalist Matt Taibbi : “For Donald Trump I think that was a very successful speech.”
Buck Sexton : “This is the best State of the Union Address I’ve ever seen[,] Not just by Trump. By any President.”
Allie Beth Stuckey : “Overall, Trump’s speech was strong and painted an unapologetically America First picture of our future while highlighting the deadly failures of progressive policies. It made all of the right people mad.”
The Daily Signal Politics Editor Bradley Devlin : “President Donald Trump delivered a brilliant speech tonight. He gave the GOP the roadmap to victory in the midterms. It was an aggressive, America First vision for the country, and he put pressure on Republicans in Congress to deliver.”
Washington Free Beacon Editor-in-Chief Eliana Johnson : “He bookended the speech with things that left me, and I think all Americans… feeling positive and good about the country.”
Patrick Bet-David : “This is going to be used in campaign videos for mid terms. What American voter would choose a candidate that defends illegal aliens over Americans? Who? Another 80/20 issue that democrats get wrong. It might even be a 90/10 issue. Double dumb.”
Former top Obama advisor David Axelrod : “I think [President Trump] did well … He used the gallery very skillfully.”
CNN’s Abby Phillip : “I thought President Trump actually delivered a higher energy speech than, I think, even his speech last year… Big moments, emotional moments.”
Former White House Press Secretary Ari Fleischer : “This stretch of the speech about immigration and voter ID has been very powerful.”
Former Sen. Jim DeMint : “At the State of the Union address, President Donald Trump laid out a vision to transform healthcare in the United States: his Great American Health Plan, which would give subsidies directly to people rather than to the big insurance companies. Republicans in Congress need to turn this vision into a reality so that it can start to make healthcare more affordable ahead of the midterms.”
Former Rep. Patrick McHenry : “He nailed the Republican base.”
Former White House Deputy Counsel Gene Hamilton : “Could not have been more clear about the current state of our great nation.”
Fox News Chief Political Analyst Brit Hume : “It was, in a way, uplifting, I think. I think it probably did him — in the short-term, at least — some political good, for sure.”
Georgetown University College Republicans President Shae McInnis : “The President laid out an economic miracle. His economic agenda is so particularly tailored to my generation — my generation that has anxiety about finding jobs and starting families. And from his vital tariffs to his tax cuts to even his policies on housing and health care, this President is fighting for my generation.”
Commentator Priya Patel : “President Trump’s State of the Union tonight was really for the American people, and again, like we said, specifically for Gen Z. We’ve been facing an affordability crisis and job scarcity for an incredibly long time… These are top priorities for the President, and he made that evidently clear in tonight’s address.”
Buzz Patterson : “This is the best State of the Union I’ve ever seen!”
Grant Cardone : “Trump calls out Democrats for not standing to end the transitioning of children, ‘These people are crazy.’ Most authentic President in history. Tonight’s SOTU speech could swing the midterms!”
Kevin Sorbo : “Great success!”
Great American Health Alliance President Keith Nahigian : “The Health Alliance stands with President Trump in his fight to put patients back in control of American healthcare by moving federal health dollars out of bureaucracy and into the hands of the people.”
Faith & Freedom Coalition : “@POTUS delivered a speech for the ages, and we are so proud of the hard work done by Americans of faith to ensure that their values had the biggest microphone in Washington!”
Associated Builders and Contractors President and CEO Michael Bellaman : “ABC appreciates the president’s continued focus on the economy, expanding opportunity for American workers and addressing affordability. These priorities align with the principles that have guided ABC and its 67 chapters for more than 75 years and continue to drive success across the construction industry, which employs more than 8.3 million people and contributes more than $2 trillion annually to the U.S. economy… “The president’s broader pro-growth agenda is delivering tangible benefits. The historic Working Families Tax Cuts legislation, also known as the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, allows hardworking Americans to keep more of their paychecks and invest in their businesses. Meanwhile, progress on permitting reform is helping critical projects move forward more efficiently, while a more predictable and balanced approach to the Waters of the United States rule is reducing regulatory uncertainty for construction employers nationwide. Further, the new majority on the National Labor Relations Board will bring a more balanced approach to labor law and end regulatory overreach that threatens workers and job creators alike.”
National Small Business Association President and CEO Todd McCracken : “NSBA is pleased that President Trump underscored the broad benefits of the 2025 tax bill which has and will continue to benefit many small businesses with parity, predictability and permanency—something NSBA has been urging for many years.”
Americans for Prosperity CEO Emily Seidel : “This evening, President Trump outlined a number of significant accomplishments that have helped to change the trajectory of our country, slow inflation, and put more money in Americans’ pockets. We were proud to do our part to help advance The Working Families Tax Cut to the President’s desk. That historic piece of legislation was essential, and we will continue to connect people to its benefits. We were also glad to hear that the President isn’t ready to stop productive policy-making this year. The American people have been clear: they want Congress to act urgently to drive solutions, continue to bring down costs, and advance reforms that provide both immediate relief and long-term benefits.”
Small Business & Entrepreneurship Council President and CEO Karen Kerrigan : “President Trump’s focus on America’s economic momentum and the remaining work ahead to build on his policies to strengthen growth and opportunity spoke to the priorities and pain points of entrepreneurs and small business owners. The President reviewed important policy wins that are directly impacting America’s small businesses, and our latest Small Business Check Up Survey confirms that these policies are making a measurable difference… SBE Council appreciates the Trump Administration’s engagement, and willingness to listen and respond to the ideas and concerns of entrepreneurs. We look forward to working with the President and his team in the days ahead to broaden and strengthen the gains already secured through pro-growth policies.”
Gov. Greg Gianforte : “In one year, President Donald J. Trump has secured our borders, strengthened our communities, and brought the American dream into greater reach. Thanks to @POTUS’s leadership, the state of our union is strong.”
Gov. Kay Ivey : “@POTUS delivered a strong, patriotic, optimistic and America First state of the union tonight. As we look towards our nation’s 250th this summer, we can be proud about where we are going. The state of our union is STRONG!”
Gov. Mike Kehoe : “Patriotic words from President Trump tonight as we celebrate 250 years of our great Nation. The state of our Union is STRONG.
Gov. Jeff Landry : “America is BACK! We are bigger and better than ever before thanks to President @realDonaldTrump’s leadership. The State of our Union is STRONG and it’s only going to get better from here”
Gov. Brad Little : “As we look to celebrate 250 years of our great nation, it is evident that the state of our Union is strong! Thank you, President @realDonaldTrump. Idahoans look forward to another year of bold leadership dedicated to putting the American people FIRST.”
Gov. Joe Lombardo : “Tonight, I was encouraged by President Trump’s commitment to growing our nation’s economy, lowering costs for hardworking families, and protecting American workers. In Nevada, we share those priorities, and I will continue working with the President to strengthen our economy, expand good-paying job opportunities, and ensure every Nevadan has the opportunity to achieve the American Dream right here at home.”
Gov. Patrick Morrisey : “Tonight, during the State of the Union, President Donald Trump awarded the Purple Heart to Specialist Sarah Beckstrom (posthumously) and Staff Sergeant Andrew Wolfe, a solemn recognition of extraordinary courage in defense of our nation’s capital. Thank you, @RealDonaldTrump, and @SecWar, for honoring their sacrifice before the American people.”
Gov. Sarah Huckabee Sanders : “America has been strong for 250 years because of heroes like those honored tonight – in uniform, on the ice, and in communities across the nation. President @realDonaldTrump’s State of the Union is a reminder that the next year will be built on that same strength.”
Senate Majority Leader John Thune : “Over the past year, President Trump and Republicans in Congress have worked together to get our country moving again and deliver real results for working families in South Dakota and across our nation.”
Senate Majority Whip John Barrasso : “Tonight, @POTUS was able to report that America is back on track. Republicans promised safety and prosperity for our nation, and we’ve delivered. The border is secure. Gas prices are at a 5-year low. Jobs are coming back. Wages are up And we’re just getting started.”
Sen. Jim Banks : “Exceptional speech by President Trump celebrating so many American heroes and America 250. Great honor to be there and represent Indiana”
Sen. Katie Britt : “Last night, @POTUS delivered the strongest State of the Union address in modern history. While Democrats stayed in their seats, Americans across the country felt a renewed hope as President Trump delivered a message of American pride and exceptionalism that we have not felt in years.”
Sen. Marsha Blackburn : “The State of the Union is strong because our border is secure. This is what real leadership looks like.”
Sen. John Boozman : “The Republican agenda is helping Arkansans keep more of their hard-earned paychecks while bolstering national security and protecting communities from dangerous threats including crime and drugs. We are working closely with the Trump administration, delivering on these priorities through the Working Families Tax Cuts and other policies that reduce burdensome regulations, unleash domestic energy and support those defending us at home and abroad. Importantly, the president’s leadership secured a once-in-a-generation investment for the families who feed, fuel and clothe the world, and we will continue our efforts to ensure a bright and strong future for rural America. I’m grateful for our partnership and appreciate his firm dedication to Arkansas’s and our nation’s prosperity.”
Sen. Ted Budd : “Thank you @POTUS for honoring Iryna Zarutska’s memory & standing with her loved ones. Our leaders should take violent criminals & repeat offenders seriously, enforce our laws, & always take action to protect citizens—not criminals.”
Sen. Shelley Moore Capito : “Tonight, President Trump delivered a forward-looking message highlighting the incredible progress achieved during his first year in office, while outlining a determined vision to build on that momentum and continue moving the country forward. Framing his remarks around the 250th anniversary of our nation’s founding, he emphasized the historic significance of this milestone and called on Americans to seize this milestone as an opportunity to shape the next chapter in our nation’s story. More importantly, families in West Virginia and around our country who felt neglected by the policies of the previous administration are no longer forgotten, and there is a renewed sense of optimism that is evident across our state and our nation.”
Sen. Bill Cassidy : “Just wrapped up the State of the Union Address. I’ve worked with President Trump to deliver real results like ending taxes on tips, overtime, and Social Security and lowering the price of prescription drugs. He’s got a bright vision for the country. I’ll keep working to lower costs and keep Louisiana communities safe.”
Sen. John Cornyn : “During the #SOTU tonight, @POTUS truly did lay out his vision to make America strong, prosperous, and respected as we head into the 250th anniversary of our nation’s founding @America250.”
Sen. Ted Cruz : “I thought President Trump’s State of the Union address was masterful. The President’s record of success contrasts with the Democrats’ anger and hate like night and day.”
Sen. Kevin Cramer : “I just thought the president was fantastic tonight. He talks about so many things, it’s hard to boil it down to highlights. But what I really appreciated was he reiterated in very plain language without dwelling on any one thing. He articulated the victories of the last year, and particularly in the economy part of it. And of course, talking about the growth of American oil production and of course, the Venezuelan oil, the bringing down of gas prices and energy dominance. He was solid on that as he always is. Of course, reminding the people of just how overrun our nation was by illegal criminals, tens of millions of illegal aliens coming into our country. And the havoc they wreaked on us especially in certain cities and sanctuary cities especially. I just thought it was really good for him to remind us of how awful it was and then remind us of how good it is now with a border that’s not only no longer wide open, but it’s completely closed.”
Sen. Ted Cruz : “President Trump gave a bold, optimistic, and forward-looking speech tonight. I have been in the Senate for 14 years, and I have never seen a year like the past one in terms of the victories we have achieved.”
Sen. Steve Daines : “Just walking out of the Capitol complex after listening to President Trump’s State of the Union Address. Really remarkable evening. So proud of how the President recognized many ordinary Americans who’ve done extraordinary things. Proud to serve with the President, his great team, his great Cabinet. Thankful that we live in the greatest country in the world and that’s the United States of America.”
Sen. Joni Ernst : “Under President Trump’s leadership, America is back! As we near 250 years of freedom, we are unlocking the Golden Age of America.”
Sen. Deb Fischer : “Tonight, President Trump articulated the success of his policies to rebuild our military, keep our communities safe, lower energy costs, and realize the American dream for all U.S. citizens. I was pleased to hear the president renew his commitment to securing our borders, strengthening our economy, and cutting waste, fraud, and abuse. I look forward to continuing to partner with him to make America safer, stronger, and more prosperous.”
Sen. Lindsey Graham : “A compelling speech. A breathtaking summary of the most successful first year of any president in modern history. ✅ Growing prosperity at home.✅ Safer abroad. ✅ Bad guys on the run. Also, very high energy and unfortunately for the Democrats, they took the bait every time. Well done, Mr. President. America is back.”
Sen. John Hoeven : “President Trump’s address celebrated the 250th anniversary of our great nation and highlighted people and policies that make our country better and stronger. The President showed the real impact of the tax relief we passed last year in enabling Americans to keep more of their hard-earned dollars and our continued work to make life more affordable for families across the nation. That includes supporting our farmers and ranchers to ensure we continue to have the highest-quality, lowest cost food supply in the nation, and unleashing energy production in North Dakota and across the nation to fuel our economy and bring down costs. The President outlined work to make our nation safer here at home by securing our borders and stopping drug and human trafficking. Additionally, by promoting ‘peace through strength’ and supporting our men and women in uniform, we are making our nation more secure while keeping our adversaries in check. The address acknowledged the tremendous feats of Americans – from gold medal winners to U.S. servicemembers to a 100-year-old war veteran – and the people that make our nation great. We look forward to continuing to work with President Trump and his administration to keep our nation strong and prosperous for the next 250 years.”
Sen. Ron Johnson : “Tonight was a celebration of America and its heroes, laying bare the Democrats’ craven ideology and policies. Unbelievable that Democrats would not stand to reaffirm the American government’s first duty is to American citizens, NOT illegal aliens.”
Sen. Jim Justice : “What we heard tonight wasn’t just talk, but a celebration of all President Trump has accomplished since taking office. Under President Trump’s leadership, America is back on the right track. We’ve secured the border, stood with our men and women of law enforcement, cut wasteful spending in Washington, built a stronger economy for our hardworking families, supported our vital energy sector, and put the American Dream back in reach for Americans across the board. Hats off to President Trump, because we’ve moved mountains, and we have a whole lot of momentum at our backs to carry us forward.”
Sen. James Lankford : “Thanks to President Trump, the border is more secure.”
Sen. Roger Marshall : “Your family is safer today because of President Trump.”
Sen. Mike Lee : “Our destiny is written by the hand of Providence. God bless America, the greatest country on Earth.”
Sen. Dave McCormick : “@POTUS is delivering on the promises he made: peace through strength on the world stage, secure borders, safer communities, historic deregulation and tax relief, falling inflation, and greater economic opportunity. Pennsylvania is already seeing the results. With President Trump’s support, we secured $92 billion in new investments for the Commonwealth—in energy infrastructure, AI, and workforce development. The U.S. Steel–Nippon deal is strengthening American steel manufacturing and protecting good-paying jobs. And the Working Families Tax Cuts Act is now law, with benefits already being felt by hardworking families across our Commonwealth and the nation. The bottom line: the president is keeping his word. There has been lots of progress, but there’s still more work to do. I’m proud to stand with him and continue delivering real, meaningful results for the people of Pennsylvania.”

WHAT THEY ARE SAYING: President Trump Heralds America’s Golden Age in Historic State of the Union Address
The White House
February 25, 2026
Last night, President Donald J. Trump delivered a record-breaking State of the Union Address — the longest in American history — proclaiming the arrival of a new Golden Age for our nation just one year into his transformative second term. With boundless optimism and deep pride in our nation, President Trump highlighted his extraordinary progress in securing the border, unleashing prosperity, achieving energy dominance, and restoring American strength, while paying heartfelt tribute to everyday American heroes.
His powerful and uplifting address immediately earned widespread acclaim from media, commentators, lawmakers, and grassroots voices alike — who praised its bold optimism, masterful storytelling, and unapologetic celebration of American revival.
Here’s what they’re saying:
New York Post Editorial Board : “President Trump hit it out of the park (again) with his 2026 State of the Union address, perhaps his most remarkable speech yet. The event was an unabashed celebration of America in its 250th year, hailing heroes from the Olympic hockey champions to 100-year-old veterans — and with a close reiteration why the nation’s best days are yet to come. He was the happy warrior we’d asked him to be, with a strong, clear message untainted by grievance — even as he expressed his disappointment with last week’s Supreme Court ruling on tariffs and drew clear distinctions between his program and the opposition’s.”
CBS News host Tony Dokoupil : “It was an extraordinary speech — the longest to a joint session in history, the longest State of the Union in history. In some ways, vintage Trump: combative, populist. Historic for other reasons, as well.”
USA Today columnist Ingrid Jacques : “Ahead of President Donald Trump’s State of the Union address, he promised he’d discuss how we are a country ‘that’s now doing well with the greatest economy we’ve ever had.’ That’s what he needed to do, and overall, he did.”
Fox News host Laura Ingraham : “When future historians want to understand how Trump dominated American politics for 12 years, they should watch and read this speech.”
Commentator Marc Thiessen : “Truly one of the best SOTUs ever. The way he weaves the stories of ordinary Americans into his policy narrative is unmatched.”
Fox Business Network Senior Correspondent Charles Gasparino : “Trump is a colossus; an amazingly patriotic speech”
The Federalist’s Sean Davis : “Home run, from beginning to end. What a fantastic speech.”
OutKick founder Clay Travis : “This is an incredibly positive pro-America speech. I legit don’t know how anyone could disagree with a single thing Trump has said so far. It’s all basic common sense — lower crime, secure borders — and a celebration of American excellence through sports and military service.”
Breitbart News Washington Bureau Chief Matthew Boyle : “This speech was Trump at his absolute finest and may have been his best speech yet — he’s definitely given some bangers over the years though. Exactly the right tone and message he needed ahead of the midterms.”
NewsNation host Katie Pavlich : “President Trump weaving stories of real Americans – tragic and triumphant – throughout the entirety of his speech was phenomenal.”
Former Clinton advisor Mark Penn : “SOTU How times have changed. Trump gave an artful and moving speech illustrating his policies with a parade of hero Americans from all walks of life. Probably his best speech framing his domestic and foreign policies. In contrast the Democrats were reduced to cat calls and slogans with curse words inappropriate for kids. They looked silly and small while Trump hit big, lofty goals and evoked emotion though the stories of real people.”
The Blaze founder Glenn Beck : “Tonight, you are seeing a different @potus at the #stateoftheunion . He is not cocky or a ‘big talker’ which is a hallmark and the funniest part of Trump. Tonight however, he has been funny in different ways, but he is not arrogant, he is confident, he knows who he is, and now WHAT HE HAS DONE. His track record in this last year doesn’t need any boasting. It speaks for itself. Time will tell, but my guess is that in 100 years, it will be George Washington, Father of our country, Lincoln, the savior of the Union and Trump, the REFOUNDING Father of the US. Thank you @realDonaldTrump”
National Border Patrol Council President Paul Perez : “You saw a President who wants to make it a point to ensure that Americans don’t become the minority in America.”
ABC News Chief Washington Correspondent Jonathan Karl : “I would say overall, in terms of the speech, I mean, this had the makings of a, you know — they had real high moments of patriotism, great stories he told…”
Commentator Scott Jennings : “Moment of the night: Democrats refusing to stand to affirm their allegiance to American citizens over illegal aliens. Will be signature moment of this speech. Trump nailed them.”
The Blaze host Steve Deace : “I thought it was Trump’s best State of the Union speech yet.”
Fox News contributor Ben Domenech : “Fortunately for Republicans, Trump is very good at this.”
The Federalist Editor-in-Chief Mollie Hemingway : “Trump asks people to stand if they agree that the first duty of the American government is to protect American citizens and not illegal aliens. No Democrats stand. Trump pauses, understanding the significance of the moment heading into midterms.”
NewsNation host Batya Ungar-Sargon : “The showmanship, the stage direction, the surprise guest reveals, it’s truly off the charts tonight!”
The Callahan Show host Gerry Callahan : “A-plus. Trump’s best State of the Union, maybe his best speech ever. Wonderfully defiant, combative and unapologetic. Just relentlessly pro-American. Exactly what we voted for.”
Mark Levin : “It’s not just an excellent speech, it’s mostly POTUS himself. He’s a truly historic leader. I know it drives DC nuts. Who cares.”
Journalist Matt Taibbi : “For Donald Trump I think that was a very successful speech.”
Buck Sexton : “This is the best State of the Union Address I’ve ever seen[,] Not just by Trump. By any President.”
Allie Beth Stuckey : “Overall, Trump’s speech was strong and painted an unapologetically America First picture of our future while highlighting the deadly failures of progressive policies. It made all of the right people mad.”
The Daily Signal Politics Editor Bradley Devlin : “President Donald Trump delivered a brilliant speech tonight. He gave the GOP the roadmap to victory in the midterms. It was an aggressive, America First vision for the country, and he put pressure on Republicans in Congress to deliver.”
Washington Free Beacon Editor-in-Chief Eliana Johnson : “He bookended the speech with things that left me, and I think all Americans… feeling positive and good about the country.”
Patrick Bet-David : “This is going to be used in campaign videos for mid terms. What American voter would choose a candidate that defends illegal aliens over Americans? Who? Another 80/20 issue that democrats get wrong. It might even be a 90/10 issue. Double dumb.”
Former top Obama advisor David Axelrod : “I think [President Trump] did well … He used the gallery very skillfully.”
CNN’s Abby Phillip : “I thought President Trump actually delivered a higher energy speech than, I think, even his speech last year… Big moments, emotional moments.”
Former White House Press Secretary Ari Fleischer : “This stretch of the speech about immigration and voter ID has been very powerful.”
Former Sen. Jim DeMint : “At the State of the Union address, President Donald Trump laid out a vision to transform healthcare in the United States: his Great American Health Plan, which would give subsidies directly to people rather than to the big insurance companies. Republicans in Congress need to turn this vision into a reality so that it can start to make healthcare more affordable ahead of the midterms.”
Former Rep. Patrick McHenry : “He nailed the Republican base.”
Former White House Deputy Counsel Gene Hamilton : “Could not have been more clear about the current state of our great nation.”
Fox News Chief Political Analyst Brit Hume : “It was, in a way, uplifting, I think. I think it probably did him — in the short-term, at least — some political good, for sure.”
Georgetown University College Republicans President Shae McInnis : “The President laid out an economic miracle. His economic agenda is so particularly tailored to my generation — my generation that has anxiety about finding jobs and starting families. And from his vital tariffs to his tax cuts to even his policies on housing and health care, this President is fighting for my generation.”
Commentator Priya Patel : “President Trump’s State of the Union tonight was really for the American people, and again, like we said, specifically for Gen Z. We’ve been facing an affordability crisis and job scarcity for an incredibly long time… These are top priorities for the President, and he made that evidently clear in tonight’s address.”
Buzz Patterson : “This is the best State of the Union I’ve ever seen!”
Grant Cardone : “Trump calls out Democrats for not standing to end the transitioning of children, ‘These people are crazy.’ Most authentic President in history. Tonight’s SOTU speech could swing the midterms!”
Kevin Sorbo : “Great success!”
Great American Health Alliance President Keith Nahigian : “The Health Alliance stands with President Trump in his fight to put patients back in control of American healthcare by moving federal health dollars out of bureaucracy and into the hands of the people.”
Faith & Freedom Coalition : “@POTUS delivered a speech for the ages, and we are so proud of the hard work done by Americans of faith to ensure that their values had the biggest microphone in Washington!”
Associated Builders and Contractors President and CEO Michael Bellaman : “ABC appreciates the president’s continued focus on the economy, expanding opportunity for American workers and addressing affordability. These priorities align with the principles that have guided ABC and its 67 chapters for more than 75 years and continue to drive success across the construction industry, which employs more than 8.3 million people and contributes more than $2 trillion annually to the U.S. economy… “The president’s broader pro-growth agenda is delivering tangible benefits. The historic Working Families Tax Cuts legislation, also known as the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, allows hardworking Americans to keep more of their paychecks and invest in their businesses. Meanwhile, progress on permitting reform is helping critical projects move forward more efficiently, while a more predictable and balanced approach to the Waters of the United States rule is reducing regulatory uncertainty for construction employers nationwide. Further, the new majority on the National Labor Relations Board will bring a more balanced approach to labor law and end regulatory overreach that threatens workers and job creators alike.”
National Small Business Association President and CEO Todd McCracken : “NSBA is pleased that President Trump underscored the broad benefits of the 2025 tax bill which has and will continue to benefit many small businesses with parity, predictability and permanency—something NSBA has been urging for many years.”
Americans for Prosperity CEO Emily Seidel : “This evening, President Trump outlined a number of significant accomplishments that have helped to change the trajectory of our country, slow inflation, and put more money in Americans’ pockets. We were proud to do our part to help advance The Working Families Tax Cut to the President’s desk. That historic piece of legislation was essential, and we will continue to connect people to its benefits. We were also glad to hear that the President isn’t ready to stop productive policy-making this year. The American people have been clear: they want Congress to act urgently to drive solutions, continue to bring down costs, and advance reforms that provide both immediate relief and long-term benefits.”
Small Business & Entrepreneurship Council President and CEO Karen Kerrigan : “President Trump’s focus on America’s economic momentum and the remaining work ahead to build on his policies to strengthen growth and opportunity spoke to the priorities and pain points of entrepreneurs and small business owners. The President reviewed important policy wins that are directly impacting America’s small businesses, and our latest Small Business Check Up Survey confirms that these policies are making a measurable difference… SBE Council appreciates the Trump Administration’s engagement, and willingness to listen and respond to the ideas and concerns of entrepreneurs. We look forward to working with the President and his team in the days ahead to broaden and strengthen the gains already secured through pro-growth policies.”
Gov. Greg Gianforte : “In one year, President Donald J. Trump has secured our borders, strengthened our communities, and brought the American dream into greater reach. Thanks to @POTUS’s leadership, the state of our union is strong.”
Gov. Kay Ivey : “@POTUS delivered a strong, patriotic, optimistic and America First state of the union tonight. As we look towards our nation’s 250th this summer, we can be proud about where we are going. The state of our union is STRONG!”
Gov. Mike Kehoe : “Patriotic words from President Trump tonight as we celebrate 250 years of our great Nation. The state of our Union is STRONG.
Gov. Jeff Landry : “America is BACK! We are bigger and better than ever before thanks to President @realDonaldTrump’s leadership. The State of our Union is STRONG and it’s only going to get better from here”
Gov. Brad Little : “As we look to celebrate 250 years of our great nation, it is evident that the state of our Union is strong! Thank you, President @realDonaldTrump. Idahoans look forward to another year of bold leadership dedicated to putting the American people FIRST.”
Gov. Joe Lombardo : “Tonight, I was encouraged by President Trump’s commitment to growing our nation’s economy, lowering costs for hardworking families, and protecting American workers. In Nevada, we share those priorities, and I will continue working with the President to strengthen our economy, expand good-paying job opportunities, and ensure every Nevadan has the opportunity to achieve the American Dream right here at home.”
Gov. Patrick Morrisey : “Tonight, during the State of the Union, President Donald Trump awarded the Purple Heart to Specialist Sarah Beckstrom (posthumously) and Staff Sergeant Andrew Wolfe, a solemn recognition of extraordinary courage in defense of our nation’s capital. Thank you, @RealDonaldTrump, and @SecWar, for honoring their sacrifice before the American people.”
Gov. Sarah Huckabee Sanders : “America has been strong for 250 years because of heroes like those honored tonight – in uniform, on the ice, and in communities across the nation. President @realDonaldTrump’s State of the Union is a reminder that the next year will be built on that same strength.”
Senate Majority Leader John Thune : “Over the past year, President Trump and Republicans in Congress have worked together to get our country moving again and deliver real results for working families in South Dakota and across our nation.”
Senate Majority Whip John Barrasso : “Tonight, @POTUS was able to report that America is back on track. Republicans promised safety and prosperity for our nation, and we’ve delivered. The border is secure. Gas prices are at a 5-year low. Jobs are coming back. Wages are up And we’re just getting started.”
Sen. Jim Banks : “Exceptional speech by President Trump celebrating so many American heroes and America 250. Great honor to be there and represent Indiana”
Sen. Katie Britt : “Last night, @POTUS delivered the strongest State of the Union address in modern history. While Democrats stayed in their seats, Americans across the country felt a renewed hope as President Trump delivered a message of American pride and exceptionalism that we have not felt in years.”
Sen. Marsha Blackburn : “The State of the Union is strong because our border is secure. This is what real leadership looks like.”
Sen. John Boozman : “The Republican agenda is helping Arkansans keep more of their hard-earned paychecks while bolstering national security and protecting communities from dangerous threats including crime and drugs. We are working closely with the Trump administration, delivering on these priorities through the Working Families Tax Cuts and other policies that reduce burdensome regulations, unleash domestic energy and support those defending us at home and abroad. Importantly, the president’s leadership secured a once-in-a-generation investment for the families who feed, fuel and clothe the world, and we will continue our efforts to ensure a bright and strong future for rural America. I’m grateful for our partnership and appreciate his firm dedication to Arkansas’s and our nation’s prosperity.”
Sen. Ted Budd : “Thank you @POTUS for honoring Iryna Zarutska’s memory & standing with her loved ones. Our leaders should take violent criminals & repeat offenders seriously, enforce our laws, & always take action to protect citizens—not criminals.”
Sen. Shelley Moore Capito : “Tonight, President Trump delivered a forward-looking message highlighting the incredible progress achieved during his first year in office, while outlining a determined vision to build on that momentum and continue moving the country forward. Framing his remarks around the 250th anniversary of our nation’s founding, he emphasized the historic significance of this milestone and called on Americans to seize this milestone as an opportunity to shape the next chapter in our nation’s story. More importantly, families in West Virginia and around our country who felt neglected by the policies of the previous administration are no longer forgotten, and there is a renewed sense of optimism that is evident across our state and our nation.”
Sen. Bill Cassidy : “Just wrapped up the State of the Union Address. I’ve worked with President Trump to deliver real results like ending taxes on tips, overtime, and Social Security and lowering the price of prescription drugs. He’s got a bright vision for the country. I’ll keep working to lower costs and keep Louisiana communities safe.”
Sen. John Cornyn : “During the #SOTU tonight, @POTUS truly did lay out his vision to make America strong, prosperous, and respected as we head into the 250th anniversary of our nation’s founding @America250.”

Sen. Kevin Cramer : “I just thought the president was fantastic tonight. He talks about so many things, it’s hard to boil it down to highlights. But what I really appreciated was he reiterated in very plain language without dwelling on any one thing. He articulated the victories of the last year, and particularly in the economy part of it.
