Summary

Trump promised his state of the Union speech would be BiG. He meant Long. It was 99 minutes. We watched so you didn’t have to.

Trump was giving what many have seen as a state of the union address to both houses in Congress.

1:05.2

And it was essentially a run-through of his greatest hits so far in in which he said, essentially, that he's the best
