WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump will stand before a joint session of Congress to give an accounting of his turbulent first weeks in office as a divided nation struggles to keep pace. Some Americans fear for the country’s future after the president’s aggressive early moves, while others are cheering Trump on. Tuesday night’s speech will be the latest milestone in Trump’s total takeover of the nation’s capital as he and his allies work to slash the size of the federal government and remake America’s place in the world. Democrats are choosing to highlight the impact of Trump’s actions by inviting fired federal workers as guests, as well as people who would be harmed by steep cuts to Medicaid and other programs.
