CNN is furious. They know President Trump had a great night.
And CNN was forced to admit the hard truth about Trump’s SOTU speech.
President Donald Trump stepped up to the podium Tuesday night for his first State of the Union address after crushing the 2024 election, and the American people couldn’t get enough. Viewers tuned in from coast to coast, and the response was electric—proving once again that Trump’s vision resonates with everyday folks.
Right after the speech wrapped, a CNN Instant Poll dropped a bombshell: a solid 64 percent of those surveyed gave a thumbs-up, saying Trump is steering the nation exactly where it needs to go. That’s the kind of approval that shuts down the doubters.
Before the address even started, only 54 percent of the same group felt that way. Trump’s powerful delivery flipped the script, winning over hearts and minds in real time.
This surge in support left the elite media scrambling. Take CNN’s own Abby Phillip, who couldn’t hide her disdain. She mocked the president’s heartfelt moments, labeling them as nothing more than gimmicks.
Viewers tuned in and walked away inspired, not turned off. Trump’s unfiltered patriotism cut through the noise, reminding everyone why he won in a landslide.
And talk about stamina—the president shattered records with this marathon of a speech.
Clocking in at a whopping 108 minutes, it became the longest State of the Union in history, per Breitbart News.
Trump kicked things off at 9:11 p.m. ET, holding the nation’s attention until he wrapped up at 10:59 p.m. ET. That’s pure endurance, folks.
Per Axios, this beat out his own previous high mark from the 2025 joint address to Congress, which lasted exactly 100 minutes. Trump’s energy is unmatched.
For a quarter-century prior, the title went to Bill Clinton’s 2000 speech at 89 minutes. But Trump doesn’t just break records; he obliterates them.
Throughout the address, Trump laid out a bold agenda focused on putting America first—tackling borders, boosting the economy, and standing up to global threats. No wonder the approval jumped.
Critics in the press box grumbled, but the people at home cheered. This wasn’t just talk; it was a rally cry for the forgotten men and women who’ve been sidelined too long.
Trump’s return to the White House has reignited hope, and this speech sealed the deal. From honoring veterans to calling out corruption, he hit every note that matters to real Americans.
As the night ended, one thing was crystal clear: President Trump is back, stronger than ever, and the momentum is on his side. The establishment better buckle up.
