"Trump avoids addressing rising Venezuela tensions, fuelling speculation over military intentions and oil interests. United States President Donald Trump has delivered an address to the nation from the White House, highlighting achievements, demonising immigrants and attacking his Democratic predecessor. Although presidents usually reserve White House addresses to the nation for major announcements, Trump used his 19-minute speech on Wednesday to promote his narrative that the country is doing well as his popularity dwindles."
"Our nation is strong. America is respected, and our country is back stronger than ever before. We're poised for an economic boom the likes of which the world has never seen, he said. Trump went on to scapegoat immigrants and blame them for the country's problems, including the housing crisis. At the same time, illegal aliens stole American jobs and flooded emergency rooms getting free healthcare and education paid for by you the American taxpayer, Trump said."
Trump avoided addressing rising Venezuela tensions, fuelling speculation over military intentions and oil interests. He delivered a 19-minute White House address promoting national strength and an imminent economic boom while his popularity dwindles. He stated 'Our nation is strong' and said America is respected and back stronger than ever. He scapegoated immigrants, blaming them for housing problems, job theft, and burdens on emergency rooms, healthcare, education, and law enforcement. Numerous studies have shown that immigrants contribute far more to the economy than they take, including a 2023 analysis finding immigrants paid over $651bn in taxes and generated $1.7trn in activity.
