Trump set to continue unprecedented level of actions, address Congress in 7th week back in office

President Trump is set to deliver his first joint session of Congress address since returning to the Oval Office this year.

The speech is not officially called the State of the Union, as Trump has not been in office for a full year, though it operates in a similar fashion. The yearly presidential address is intended to showcase the administration's achievements and policies. 

Trump and his administration have been working at a breakneck pace to realign the federal government with the president's Make America Great Again policies, including Department of Government Efficiency chair Elon Musk and his team poring through federal agencies in the search for overspending, fraud and mismanagement, and prioritizing border security. The 47th president has signed at least 76 executive orders since his inauguration in January, in addition to dozens of other executive actions and proclamations.
