On Tue, Feb 25, 2026, United States President Donald Trump delivered a State of the Union address focusing on economic performance and immigration policies. The speech highlighted various claims regarding the administration's achievements and policy impacts.

The President stated that inflation rates have significantly declined during his term. As of January 2026, the inflation rate was approximately 2.4%, a decrease from 2.9% in January 2025. Gasoline prices have also fallen to an average of $2.92 per gallon, down from $3.11 at the start of his term. However, no state reported an average gas price below $2.30 per gallon.

The administration launched TrumpRx.gov to offer discounted prescription drugs. While the website provides substantial discounts on certain medications, such as a 93% reduction on Cetrotide, these discounts are generally available only to cash-paying patients. Plans to extend these benefits to insured individuals are pending legislative approval.

President Trump emphasized a decrease in illegal immigration, reporting zero admissions of undocumented immigrants in the past nine months. Encounters at the southern border dropped to 10,000 in January 2026 from 61,000 in January 2025. He also noted a military campaign aimed at reducing drug trafficking by sea, though evidence of its effectiveness was not detailed.

The President claimed a historic reduction in the murder rate, projecting it as the largest decline in recorded history. The anticipated 20% drop in the 2025 murder rate is expected to be the most significant on record, although data comparison over the past 125 years remains uncertain due to inconsistent historical records.

The One Big Beautiful Bill Act is projected to remove 2.4 million Americans from the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP). This change is attributed to new work requirements applied to various demographics, including parents of children aged 14 and older.

The administration introduced "Trump accounts" as a savings initiative for children born between 2025 and 2028. Each account receives $1,000 in federal seed money, with potential growth contingent on additional contributions and market performance. However, projected growth to $100,000 by age 18 is not guaranteed.
