President Donald Trump delivered the longest State of the Union address in modern history Tuesday night, speaking for more than 1 hour and 40 minutes in an unusual speech that saw him comment about the Supreme Court’s ruling, announce new policy proposals and attack congressional Democrats.

President Obama’s state of the Union speech was met with mixed reactions Tuesday night as he laid out his goals for the next four years.

While the president spoke on a range of topics, the President’s statements on economic reform, budget issues and the gun control debate stood out. Among some of the president’s stated goals for the next four years were a $9 federal minimum wage, a $2.5 trillion budget reduction and comprehensive immigration reform. The president’s overall message was upbeat.
