The speech, which was\u2062 Trump\u2019s first address of his second term, strayed from the <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3YuVZYV\">expected decorum typical<\/a>\u2062 of such \u200devents, with prominent moments including Representative \u200cAl Green&#8217;s heckling that led to his \u200dremoval\u2063 from the chamber by the sergeant-at-arms at the request of House Speaker Mike Johnson.<\/p>\n<p>Trump used the occasion to criticize President Biden&#8217;s handling\u200b of border security, suggesting that a new\u2063 president was more significant than new legislation to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/title-42-ends-texas-school-district-seeking-to-help-mitigate-expected-influx-of-migrants\/\" title=\"Texas school district prepares for migrant influx.\">address immigration issues<\/a>. He also\u200b revived his nickname for Senator Elizabeth Warren,\u2064 referring\u200c to her as &#8220;Pocahontas,&#8221; during a discussion on U.S. aid to Ukraine. <\/p>\n<p>The address sparked a number of interjections from both Democratic and republican members, a \u200bshift from previous years where such outbursts \u2064were rare.These moments included references to the\u2062 January 6 Capitol riot\u2062 and an off-the-cuff remark directed at Biden. the speech highlighted the ongoing divisions within Congress and \u2062showcased Trump\u2019s confrontational style.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-header-search-button-mob dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search\" aria-labelledby=\"td-header-search-button\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search-inner\">\n<form method=\"get\" class=\"tdb-search-form\" action=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/\"><\/form>\n<div class=\"tdb-aj-search\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/#\" role=\"button\" aria-label=\"Search\" class=\"tdb-head-search-btn dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<h1 class=\"tdb-title-text\">Four feisty moments from Trump&rsquo;s address to Congress<\/h1>\n<div><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-title-line\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div id=\"Brid_2028741\" class=\"tpd-featured-video bridtv\"><\/div>\n<p>President <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/donald-trump\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"Donald Trump\">Donald Trump<\/a>&lsquo;s first <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/white-house\/3336289\/7-takeaways-trump-combative-joint-address-congress\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"address to Congress\">address to Congress<\/a> of his second term was a lengthy and raucous event featuring several fireworks from the crowd and the president.<\/p>\n<p>With interruptions and one-liners from the crowd, the speech lacked much of the traditional decorum seen in presidential addresses to Congress, but the president also delivered jabs to the unruly audience.<\/p>\n<div class=\"recommended-stories\">\n<h2>Recommended Stories<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/white-house\/3336213\/how-white-house-office-hand-picking-trump-hires\/\">How White House &#8216;customer service&#8217; office is handpicking Trump&#8217;s top hires<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/white-house\/3336289\/7-takeaways-trump-combative-joint-address-congress\/\">Seven takeaways from Trump&#8217;s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/7-takeaways-from-trumps-combative-joint-address-to-congress-washington-examiner\/\" title=\"7 takeaways from ...s combative joint ... to ... ...

At the beginning of Trump&rsquo;s speech, Green stood up and yelled, &ldquo;You have no mandate&rdquo; at the president.<\/p>\n<p>The Texas Democrat&rsquo;s continued yelling prompted House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) to remind members to maintain decorum during the speech and to warn Green that he would be removed if he did not respect decorum.
