Trump touts accomplishments, future policies during address

(The Center Square) – In what is likely his final address to the nation of the year, President Donald Trump touted what he said were his accomplishments, and previewed some policies to come in the new year. The president began his address by taking aim at the Biden administration and Democrats by saying he inherited “a mess” when he came into office, highlighting the inflation and border crisis, high crime and men playing in women’s sports. “Now you have a president who fights for the law-abiding, hard-working people of our country, the ones who make this nation run, who make this nation work. And after just one year, we have achieved more than anyone could have imagined,” Trump said. The president spent a significant amount of time in his 18-minute address discussing affordability, which has taken center stage in recent weeks as he and Vice President JD Vance have been highlighting the administration’s policies trying to bring down costs, one of the central themes of his campaign.
