Ok, so here we go... Trump's new joint address to Congress.

Here's how to watch:

https://www.politico.com/news/2025/03/04/donald-trump-congress-speech-how-to-watch-024384

"Trump’s address to Congress will begin Tuesday at 9 p.m. ET. The speech will be broadcast on major television networks and available to stream on certain websites, including POLITICO."

So 6 PM Pacific Time.

Worth noting that like Biden's address to Congress in 2021, this isn't TECHNICALLY a "State of the Union" address, although it has a lot of the trappings of a State of the Union.

Typically the first address from a new President to Congress isn't called a "State of the Union."

https://www.pbs.org/newshour/politics/why-trumps-joint-remarks-to-congress-wont-be-a-state-of-the-union-address

"According to the American Presidency Project, the impacts of these first-year speeches should be considered to have the same heft as the State of the Union addresses that follow in subsequent years. And, just like the State of the Union address, the opposing party to the one that occupies the White House gives a brief speech in response, which, like the president’s remarks, is televised. This year’s will be delivered by Democratic Sen. Elissa Slotkin of Michigan."

Pass. Not giving it any ratings and I will wait for the coherent summary without the faff. Besides, no matter what the jackass does, there's nothing I can immediately do in reaction to it.

[-] regrub@lemmy.world 29 points 3 weeks ago

Hardly anything he says is credible anyways. Only look at what he does

[-] HubertManne@moist.catsweat.com 26 points 3 weeks ago

oh man. I am not looking forward to this but feel I have an obligation to watch. Appreciate you getting the thread going though.

[-] regrub@lemmy.world 20 points 3 weeks ago

I'll pass on listening to the Cheeto Musolini speech. I'd rather preserve my sanity/time by reading the news afterwards instead of listening to him ramble.

[-] HubertManne@moist.catsweat.com 10 points 3 weeks ago

im prepping with vodka and I rarely drink.

[-] jordanlund@lemmy.world 14 points 3 weeks ago

I'm tempted to just wait on the transcript, but so many of Trump's transcripts are whitewashed to make him seem more rational than he is.

[-] Shadow@lemmy.ca 15 points 3 weeks ago

I'm tempted to watch but it'll probably be 90 minutes of him rambling.

[-] breakfastmtn@lemmy.ca 6 points 3 weeks ago

More than 120! I couldn't make it through 5. No idea how people can listen to him talk.

[-] roofTophopper@lemmy.world 12 points 3 weeks ago

Anyone got bingo cards? I'm putting a Putin to visit White House on mine along with Andrew Tate gets a government position - maybe alongside Elona. There's also the McDonald's Hamderber becoming the National Food

Anyone got any others to fill out my card?

Outside of that, I got my bullshit meter ready. Trying to prep for the Thirty Days of the Best Achievements the world has ever seen and how he alone saved countries at war. Then Elona will talk about the billions of dollars saved while his kid wipes buggers on Trump's face.

Nope. Not watching. I'd rather drag razor blades between my toes. Rub sandpaper on my tongue. Give myself paper cuts on my eyelids. Watch videos consisting entirely of nails on chalkboards.
