Making a strong pitch for his re-election amid the impeachment trial, President Donald Trump said that America has made a great comeback and the country is "thriving and highly respected again" as he boasted about the economic growth under his regime.
Delivering his 3rd State of the Union address, Trump said on Tuesday that in just 3 short years, his administration has shattered the mentality of American decline and rejected the downsizing of the country's destiny.
"We are moving forward at a pace that was unimaginable just a short time ago, and we are never going back," Trump said during his over one hour address.
The US president said that under his leadership, jobs are booming, incomes are soaring, poverty is plummeting, crime is falling, confidence is surging, and "our country is thriving and highly respected again."
Trump said that the US administration is strongly defending the national security and "as we defend American lives, we are working to end America's wars in the Middle East."
Trump showered praise on the US military for for carrying out a "flawless precision strike" that killed Iran's military commander Qasem Soleimani and terminated his "evil reign of terror forever."
