US President Donald Trump, in his State of the Union address, called on Congress to pass crucial legislations covering border security, voter identification, healthcare reform, and insider trading restrictions. Trump emphasized the need for full funding for Border Security and Homeland Security, along with ending sanctuary cities and imposing penalties on officials hindering the removal of criminal aliens. He also urged the enactment of the “Save America Act” to prevent illegal voting in elections.
The President highlighted the importance of voter ID and proof of citizenship for all voters, advocating against mail-in ballots except for specific circumstances. Trump proposed the “Dalilah Law” to prevent states from issuing commercial driver’s licenses to illegal aliens and stressed the necessity of keeping violent repeat offenders incarcerated. In the healthcare sector, he called for the codification of his prescription drug pricing policy.
Trump criticized the current healthcare system as unaffordable and promoted his “Great Healthcare Plan” to redirect funds from insurance companies to the people. Addressing financial ethics, he pushed for stricter rules on insider trading by lawmakers and advocated for a ban on large Wall Street firms purchasing single-family homes. Throughout his address, Trump framed these legislative efforts as essential for restoring accountability, security, and affordability.
