President Donald Trump’s address to a joint session of Congress on the night of March 4, 2025, in Washington was disrupted by a dramatic incident when Representative Al Green, a Democrat from Texas, was forcibly removed after shouting and challenging the president, accusing him of lacking a legitimate mandate. At 77 years old, Green stood up, brandished his cane at Trump, and yelled, “You don’t have a mandate!”—igniting immediate chaos as Republicans, including Marjorie Taylor Greene and Nancy Mace, countered with shouts and chants of “USA, USA, USA” to drown him out. Senate President JD Vance, presiding over the session, swiftly intervened, ordering Green’s removal for breaching parliamentary decorum, while Trump, delivering his first speech of his second term, touted victories like sweeping all seven swing states and the popular vote. Broadcast live, the event laid bare the stark political divide in the United States, with fervent applause from one side clashing against open defiance from the other.
The uproar erupted just minutes into Trump’s speech, as he declared that six weeks prior, beneath the Capitol dome, he had proclaimed the “dawn of America’s Golden Age,” celebrating a flurry of executive actions since January. Green’s ejection, after persisting in his outburst, turned the moment into a vivid emblem of the polarization defining Trump’s administration. In the gallery, First Lady Melania Trump and notable guests like Elon Musk watched the scene unfold, joined by Supreme Court justices and Cabinet members such as Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. The incident not only stole the spotlight but also underscored a fractured Congress, where acts of protest and fiery retorts dominated an evening meant to outline Trump’s ambitious agenda.
Beyond the chamber, Trump’s address drew global attention, with world leaders tuning in for hints on his mass deportation plans and his softened stance on the Ukraine war. Inside, House Democratic leadership, including Hakeem Jeffries, boycotted the traditional escort committee, while Democratic women donned pink in a silent protest. Green’s removal, a seasoned lawmaker known for his bold stands, marked the night’s most intense flashpoint, highlighting Trump’s challenge in uniting a divided nation despite his party’s trifecta control of the White House, House, and Senate.
Chaos at the outset: the clash that set the tone
Trump entered the chamber at 9 p.m. EST to thunderous applause from Republicans and near-total silence from Democrats. Only a few, like independent Senator Angus King of Maine, who caucuses with Democrats, and Senate Minority Leader Charles Schumer, stood, while House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries and his team sat stone-faced. It was in this already charged atmosphere that Al Green, three minutes into the address, launched his protest, standing to challenge Trump’s claim of an electoral triumph as a historic milestone.
Republicans responded instantly, with Marjorie Taylor Greene of Georgia and Nancy Mace of South Carolina shouting back, joined by chants of “USA, USA, USA” reverberating from their side. Vice President JD Vance, overseeing the session as Senate President, acted decisively, ordering Green’s removal for violating decorum. The Texas representative, a veteran known for pushing Trump’s impeachment in 2017, was escorted out amid continued jeers, turning the night into a televised spectacle of political confrontation witnessed by millions.
Trump’s vision: deportations take center stage
Undeterred by the interruption, Trump pressed on, spotlighting border security as a cornerstone of his agenda. He vowed to send Congress a detailed funding request to execute “the largest deportation operation in American history,” touting a drop in illegal border crossings to under 50,000 in January 2025—the lowest since 2020. Though he claimed credit for this decline, it began in mid-2024, driven by Mexico’s enforcement and Biden-era asylum restrictions, a nuance he glossed over in his narrative of triumph.
Democratic defiance: protests shape the night
The opposition’s resistance extended beyond Green’s ejection, manifesting in symbolic acts across the chamber. Democratic women, led by Teresa Leger Fernández of New Mexico, wore pink as a “power and protest” statement against Trump’s policies, which they argue harm women by cutting programs for victims of domestic violence. Melanie Stansbury, also from New Mexico, held up a sign reading “This is not normal” as Trump entered, only for it to be torn from her hands by security, heightening the night’s tension.
Senator Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts brought a fired National Science Foundation employee as her guest, part of a Democratic effort to spotlight the fallout from Trump’s purge of 10,000 federal workers since January. The House leadership’s refusal to join the escort committee, breaking with tradition, further amplified their dissent, while Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s presence on the Republican side, hugging Senator Roger Marshall of Kansas, highlighted the shifting political allegiances in play.
Timeline of the night: key moments of disruption
Trump’s address unfolded amid bursts of tension and celebration, with Green’s ejection as the defining moment. Here’s a rundown of the night’s pivotal events:
- 8:45 p.m.: Cabinet members, including Marco Rubio and Robert F. Kennedy Jr., enter the chamber.
- 9:00 p.m.: Trump arrives to Republican cheers; Green begins his protest at 9:03 p.m.
- 9:06 p.m.: Green is removed by order of JD Vance amid chants of “USA.”
- 9:10 p.m.: Trump resumes, emphasizing deportations and economic plans.
This sequence captures how swiftly the evening devolved into a stage for political showdowns and assertions of authority.
Republican fervor: cheers and symbolic gestures
On the Republican side, support for Trump was palpable from the start. Marjorie Taylor Greene sported a “Trump Was Right About Everything” cap, which the president touched as he passed, while “USA” chants erupted repeatedly. Elon Musk’s arrival in the gallery drew spontaneous applause, cementing his alliance with Trump, as did Melania Trump’s presence alongside guests like Elliston Berry, a Texas teen victim of AI-generated fake images, tied to a bipartisan bill Melania champions.
Trump’s Cabinet, including Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., received warm welcomes, with Rubio greeting former Senate colleagues and Kennedy embracing Marshall, signaling his shift to the GOP fold. Yet, mentions of new tariffs on Canada and Mexico, effective that day, elicited mixed reactions among some Republican senators, hinting at potential fractures in the party’s unity.
Core issues: economy and foreign policy in the spotlight
Beyond deportations, Trump tackled the economy, pinning inflation on Joe Biden, notably citing egg prices that hit $4.95 a dozen in January due to a bird flu outbreak that culled 20 million hens in 2024. He pledged to slash costs without specifics, while doubling down on tariffs that have added 50,000 industrial jobs since January but raised electronics prices by 5%. On foreign policy, he vowed to end the Ukraine war, avoiding blame on Russia and echoing his affinity for Vladimir Putin, a stance that unsettled NATO allies.
Supreme Court justices like John Roberts, Elena Kagan, Brett Kavanaugh, and Amy Coney Barrett attended, underscoring Trump’s judicial legacy, with the court now leaning 6-3 conservative. He also touted federal workforce cuts, slashing 10,000 jobs since January, a move protested by Democrats through guests like Warren’s invitee, reflecting the policy’s divisive impact.
Immediate fallout: reactions to the chamber clash
Green’s ejection dominated early reactions, with Republicans praising Vance’s swift action and Democrats decrying it as censorship. In the gallery, Musk filmed a brief video amid applause, while Melania stood firm beside Berry, whose story bolstered Trump’s digital protection agenda. Green’s exit, amid shouts, reached millions live, sparking instant online debates about decorum and free speech in Congress.
The “USA” chants and aggressive retorts from Greene and Mace fueled perceptions of a chaotic night, yet Trump pressed on calmly, focusing on campaign promises. Douglas A. Collins, Veterans Affairs Secretary and designated survivor, remained absent from the Capitol, adhering to security protocol as the chamber grappled with its internal storm.
Key takeaways: Trump’s focus post-disruption
After Green’s removal, Trump highlighted early wins, like border crossing reductions and federal job cuts trimming government payroll by 5%. He promised a “big, beautiful” legislative package, including deportations potentially costing $20 billion yearly, and backed Elon Musk’s DOGE-led reductions. Economically, he vowed to lower egg and grocery prices, while in foreign policy, he expressed plans to visit Moscow for Russia’s 80th Victory Day in May, reinforcing his Putin rapport.
Guests like Elliston Berry in the gallery tied into pledges to ban nonconsensual intimate imagery, a bill gaining bipartisan traction. Despite the early chaos, Trump maintained a triumphant tone, leveraging his GOP trifecta to promise an “American Golde
