Trump speech to Congress: Trump airs familiar grievances in address before Congress

Trump called attention to first lady Melania Trump and praised her work protecting children.

Melania Trump was flanked by Haley Ferguson, a recipient of the first lady's Fostering the Future initiative and Ellison Berry, a victim of AI-generated pornography.

Berry was present at Melania Trump's roundtable event Monday advocating for the passage of the "Take It Down" Act, which aims to criminalize deepfake and revenge pornography.

"And I'm going to use that bill for myself, too, if you don't mind. There's nobody gets treated worse than I do online. Nobody," Trump said.

Rep. Al Green spoke with ABC News after he was escorted out of the chamber and said he'd welcome any consequences that come from his disruption.

"I was following the wishes of conscious, there are times when it is better to stand alone than not stand at all," he said.

Green added that he believes Trump is "disrupting the healthcare system" and "all but defying court orders."

"At some point, we're all going to have to stand up," the congressman said.

An incredibly disjointed response from the Democratic party.

Is the plan to protest in silence? Walk out of the speech? Or cause a massive disruption?

If you're watching, it's all of the above.

It didn't take 10 minutes for Rep. Al Green to cause so much of a disruption, the president was forced to stop his speech. Green was escorted out.

Several minutes later, we saw a handful of Democrats stand up, remove their blazers and turn their backs toward the president. Some of their shirts reading "RESIST" and "NO MORE KINGS."

But for the most part, all other Democrats are sitting silently and using their paddles to protest, trying to fact check the president in real time and holding up signs that read "FALSE."

Rep. Rashida Tlaib has a whiteboard with her writing, "LIES" and "THAT'S A LIE" as the president moves through his speech, then holding it up.

Not so long ago, it was Democrats who were condemning outbursts from Republicans who interrupted President Joe Biden. The lack of decorum is now becoming part of the norm here on Capitol Hill.

Trump defended his the tariffs against China, Canada and Mexico that went into effect earlier today -- despite the negative fallout, including U.S. stocks tumbling. He said on April 2, he'll go further and implement "reciprocal tariffs."
