从2017年2月那次以团结为主题的演讲到2026年2月24日美国第250周年之年的国情咨文，九年间特朗普的修辞从两党“共同点”转向了对民主党人的反复攻击。早期对民权进展和更广泛政策议程的呼吁，与2026年以对抗为中心的口号形成了鲜明对比。

在形式和政治信号上，他第一次演讲按提词器进行、时长约1小时；最新一次则以1小时48分钟创下此类演讲纪录，并且在即兴发挥时连贯性下降。在大约十年里，经历两次弹劾、一次疫情、种族正义动荡、1月6日冲击事件和法律诉讼后，政治极化加深，同时最高法院限制了他关于边境税权力的主张。

民调显示，他的支持率下探到接近2021年1月6日以来的低点；马里斯特本月调查中有十分之六受访者认为美国比一年前更糟。独立选民、拉丁裔甚至年轻共和党人的信心下滑，而在秋季中期选举临近之际，这次演讲几乎未提出新政策，也未就伊朗、乌克兰战争（俄乌战争四周年节点）、中国或人工智能给出清晰路线，因此很可能主要因长度被记住，并进一步削弱国情咨文的意义。

Over nine years from his February 2017 unity-themed address to the February 24, 2026 state-of-the-union in America’s 250th year, Trump’s rhetoric shifted from bipartisan “common ground” to repeated attacks on Democrats. The contrast is stark between early calls for civil-rights progress and a broader policy agenda and 2026 slogans centered on conflict.

In format and political signaling, his first speech was teleprompter-driven and about 1 hour long; the latest set a record at 1 hour 48 minutes and grew less coherent during ad-libs. Across roughly a decade marked by two impeachments, a pandemic, racial-justice unrest, the January 6 insurrection, and legal prosecutions, polarization deepened while the Supreme Court constrained his border-tax power claim.

Polling shows his approval sinking near lows not seen since January 6, 2021; in Marist’s survey this month, six in ten respondents said America is worse off than a year ago. With confidence eroding among independents, Latinos, and even young Republicans before autumn midterms, the speech offered little new policy and no clear line on Iran, Ukraine (on the war’s fourth anniversary), China, or AI, so it is likely to be remembered mainly for length and for further shrinking the state-of-the-union’s significance.
