President Trump used his first State of the Union address of his second term to declare that the United States is “winning so much” that Americans are unaccustomed to the country’s success, casting his administration’s economic and energy policies as the driving force behind what he described as a national resurgence.
Trump:

We are winning so much that we really don’t know what to do about it.
People are asking me, “Please, please, Mr. President, we are winning too much, we can’t take it anymore, we are not used to winning.”
I say, “No, no, no, you are going to win again, you are going to… pic.twitter.com/NtybFyBTZO
“In fact, we’re winning so much that we really don’t know what to do about it,” Trump said. “People are asking me, ‘Please, please, please, Mr. President, we’re winning too much. We can’t take it anymore. We’re not used to winning in our country. Until you came along, we’re just always losing. But now we’re winning too much.’” He added, “No, no, no. You’re going to win again. You’re going to win big. You’re going to win bigger than ever.”
The remarks came as Trump outlined what he characterized as a dramatic turnaround from what he called a period when the United States was “a dead country.” He told lawmakers that the nation is now “the hottest country anywhere in the world,” pointing to business formation, domestic energy production and employment figures as evidence of renewed momentum.

Trump said thousands of new businesses are forming and that factories, plants and laboratories are being built across the country. He cited the addition of 70,000 new construction jobs in a short period of time and said more Americans are working than at any point in U.S. history. According to the president, 100 percent of jobs created under his administration have been in the private sector.
On energy, Trump said American oil production has increased by more than 600,000 barrels per day. He also announced that the United States had received more than 80 million barrels of oil from Venezuela, which he described as a new partner. Domestic natural gas production, he said, is at an all-time high, crediting his push to expand drilling.
“For all of these reasons,” Trump told members of Congress, “I say tonight … the state of our union is strong. Our country is winning again.”

The speech marked a defining moment early in Trump’s second term, as he sought to frame his administration’s economic and energy agenda as proof of a broader national comeback. By centering his address on a message of sustained victories, Trump underscored his argument that the country has entered a period of renewed strength and global prominence under his leadership.
