The State of Donald Trump

It’s Donald Trump’s State of the Union address day - the big blockbuster moment in American politics when all three branches of power meet to hear the president give his annual reflections on how America is faring.

It’s the biggest speech of the year for any president.

Nearly two hours - the longest state of the union ever recorded.

On the podcast today: What did he say, what happened when tempers flared between the Democrats and Trump, and why does it all matter.
