President Donald Trump on Tuesday delivered the longest State of the Union address in modern history, speaking for nearly two hours as he claimed the United States is entering a "golden age" under his leadership. Trump spent much of his speech touting his economic policies and his administration's immigration crackdown. We play excerpts from Trump's address as well as responses to it from different Democratic lawmakers, many of whom skipped the speech to attend alternative events.
