US President Donald Trump on Tuesday criticised the US Supreme Court ruling that struck down tariffs imposed by his administration, calling the decision “very unfortunate.”
During the first official State of the Union of his second term, Trump said that despite the ruling, almost all the countries want to keep the deal that they already made.
This is the longest State of the Union address made by any president since The American Presidency Project began keeping records in 1964.
Here are the top quotes from Trump's State of the Union address- Just four days ago, an unfortunate ruling from the United States Supreme Court, it just came down. Very unfortunate ruling. But the good news is that almost all countries and corporations want to keep the deal that they already made.
- So in my first year of the second term — should be my third term. But strange things happen.
- Knowing that the legal power that I as president, have to make a new deal could be far worse for them, and therefore they will continue to work along the same successful path that we had negotiated before the Supreme Court's unfortunate involvement.
- We have received more than 80 million barrels of oil from our new friend and partner Venezuela.
- American oil production is up by more than 600,000 barrels per day… American natural gas production is at an all-time high because I kept my promise to drill, baby, drill.
- Our Nation is back — bigger, better, richer, and stronger than ever before.
- We're going to do better and better and better. This is the golden age of America. When I last spoke in this chamber 12 months ago, I had just inherited a nation in crisis with a stagnant economy, inflation at record levels, a wide-open border, horrendous recruitment for military and police, rampant crime at home, and wars and chaos all over the world. But tonight, after just one year, I can say with dignity and pride that we have achieved a transformation like no one has ever seen before and a turnaround for the ages. It is indeed a turnaround for the ages
- This July 4th, we will mark two and a half centuries of liberty and triumph, progress and freedom in the most incredible and exceptional nation ever to exist on the face of this earth—and you’ve seen nothing yet... this is the Golden Age of America.
- The Biden administration and its allies in Congress gave us the worst inflation in the history of our country. But in 12 months, my administration has driven core inflation down to the lowest level in more than 5 years—and in the last 3 months of 2025, it was down to 1.7%."
- In the past 9 months, ZERO illegal aliens have been admitted to the United States. The flow of deadly fentanyl across our border is down by a record 56%...And last year, the murder rate saw its single largest decline in recorded history -- the lowest number in over 125 years."
- Mortgage rates are the lowest in 4 years, and falling fast—and the annual cost of the typical new mortgage is down almost $5,000 dollars just since I took office.
- More Americans are working today than at any time in the history of our country... and 100% of all jobs created under my administration have been in the private sector.
- When I last spoke in this chamber 12 months ago, I had just inherited a nation in crisis.
- Today, our border is SECURE, our spirit is RESTORED, inflation is PLUMMETING, incomes are RISING FAST, the economy is ROARING, our enemies are SCARED, our military and police are STACKED, and America is RESPECTED again — perhaps like never before.
- In 4 long years, the last administration got less than $1 trillion dollars in new investment in the United States. In 12 months, I secured commitments for more than $18 trillion dollars pouring in from all over the globe."
- For all these reasons, I say tonight—Members of Congress, THE STATE OF OUR UNION IS STRONG.
- NO TAX ON TIPS. NO TAX ON OVERTIME. NO TAX ON SOCIAL SECURITY FOR OUR GREAT SENIORS. BIGGEST TAX CUT IN HISTORY. PROSPERITY. EVERY SINGLE DEMOCRAT VOTED AGAINST IT!
