The president of the United States, Donald Trump, was forced to fall numerous interruptions of his political opponents during his long joint speech to Congress on Tuesday night.
Since he assumed the position 44 days ago, Trump has doubled his promise to withdraw initiatives for diversity, equity and inclusion, has tried to freeze government subsidies to the main providers of medical care services such as Medicaid and moved to dismantle the Department of Education.
In addition, he has tried to stop the funds to international aid programs such as USAID, has prohibited the transgender troops of the military and criticized Canada, Mexico and China with radical tariffs, which caused a commercial war that experts warn that it will probably result in generalized economic agitation.
Trump began his speech by briefly addressing the recently snapped taxes.
“The tariffs will make the United States great again, and it is happening and will happen quite fast,” said Congress, adding that there will be “a bit of disturbance” at the beginning.
Wall Street reported a pen in global actions on Tuesday when tariffs entered into force. In the light of their recent actions and statements, the Democrats were responsible for facing the president and his party.
Here is a breakdown of protests.
Al Green fights medical care cuts
During the first minutes of Trump's speech, the representative to Green, a Texas Democrat, stood up and argued that Trump did not have the mandate to reduce the financing of Social Security networks.
The president of the House of Representatives, Mike Johnson, told Green to cease more interruptions “before being warned of his imminent removal.
Green's attempt to be heard was drowned by members of the Republican party that shouted that “he feels”, followed by a strong applause when Johnson reminded all assistance of his responsibility to maintain “decorum.”
The incident ended in Green being escorted by the camera by the sergeant of the house in the arms.
Green told journalists later: “It is worth that people know that there are some of us who are going to face this president's desire to reduce Medicaid, Medicare and Social Security.”

Democrats remain seated
Before the president began his speech, he was received by the enthusiastic cheers of the Republican banks, where he greeted the members of Congress and shake hands with senior officials.
Meanwhile, on the other side of the room, the Democrats sat in silence, many of the women with Rosa in a general show against Trump, and withdrew their applause and refused to ascend when the president entered the room. Provided a striking contrast.

In the course of the night, other Democrats booked barely, some hung their heads in their hands and some deferred to their phones for distractions.
But Trump brushed the concerns of the opposite part.
“I look at the Democrats in front of me, and I realize that there is absolutely nothing I can say to make them happy or to stop, smile or applaud, nothing I can do,” Trump said. “These people sitting here do not applaud, they will not remain, and they will certainly not encourage these astronomical achievements,” he said.
