US President Donald Trump faced dramatic protests just minutes into his first State of the Union address of his second term, as the House chamber erupted in tension and confrontation. Loud chants of “USA! USA!” filled the hall after Speaker Mike Johnson introduced him, but Democratic lawmakers staged visible protests, turning the event into a political showdown.
