President Donald Trump will address a dramatically altered Congress on Tuesday, delivering his State of the Union speech to a body he has sidelined. One year into his presidency, Trump has executed a head-spinning agenda, bypassing conventional legislative processes to amass unprecedented executive power. GOP tax cuts fueled over $170 billion for Homeland Security deportations, while hundreds of executive actions challenge constitutional checks and balances. The slim GOP majority has largely accommodated his reach, leaving Democrats to protest or boycott the speech. Trump's claim of being the 'most consequential' president underscores the profound shift in governance.
