WASHINGTON — Many high-profile lawmakers and guests attended the State of the Union address Tuesday, where President Donald Trump spent most of his 107-minute speech boasting his administration’s accomplishments in his second term. 

“​​But tonight, after just one year, I can say with dignity and pride that we have achieved a transformation like no one has ever seen before and a turnaround for the ages,” Trump said. 

“We’re going to do better and better and better. This is the golden age of America.”
