In a 19-minute address to the nation on December 17, 2025, President Donald Trump delivered a speech from the White House, focusing on perceived achievements and future promises. He blamed immigrants for the country's economic and social problems, citing housing crises and strains on public resources. Trump also promised an unprecedented economic boom in 2026. These claims were met with criticism from Democratic leaders like Senator Chris Van Hollen and Governor Gavin Newsom, who accused the president of being delusional and out of touch with reality. The speech reiterated Trump's stance on immigration and economic prosperity, despite contrary evidence regarding immigrants' economic contributions.
