Longest address in decades: Trump sets State of the Union record

US President Donald Trump delivered the longest-ever State of the Union address on Tuesday, beating Bill Clinton’s 2000 record of one hour and 20 minutes.

Republican Trump also smashed his own 1 hour and 40 minute record for a presidential speech to Congress, which he set last March in an annual address that was not technically a State of the Union.
