President Trump’s speech sets new Twitter record

He said. A broad immigration reform plan is possible if both Republicans and Democrats in Congress are willing to compromise and work together, according to President Trump.

“Do we add 80 plus billion dollars to the Pentagon or do we allow every qualified young American the ability to go to college tuition free?” he asked.

Fox News Channel accounted for almost 11 million of those viewers for the speech that, practically speaking serves as a new president’s State of The Union Address. CBS News headlined its story, “Viewers strongly approve of Trump’s speech to Congress”.
