Trump's Speech in Congress and a Revealing Conversation

On March 4 local time, the U.S. President delivered a speech in Congress. Before that, a conversation between the U.S. Vice President and the Speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives was picked up by the microphone.

The Vice President said, "By the way, I know this speech will be wonderful, but I don't know how you're going to get through these 90 minutes." Upon hearing this, the Speaker quickly replied, "The most agonizing thing is listening to Biden's speech. It's nothing but a stupid campaign speech." Then, while speaking, he quietly lowered the microphone stand on the table so that it couldn't pick up sound.

The video of this conversation has been spreading on social media, attracting interpretations from netizens. Some even think it was not an "accident". Videos of the Vice President previously criticizing the President have also gone viral online. So far, neither the White House nor the Vice President's office has responded to this incident.

On that day, the President delivered a 100 - minute speech in Congress, setting a record for the longest speech by any president and in both houses of Congress. The Vice President and the Speaker were seated on either side behind the podium. Throughout the President's speech, they were right above the live - broadcast camera, in the second - most prominent positions after the President.

The last time the Speaker attended a joint congressional address as the majority leader of the House was for the then - President Biden's State of the Union address in 2024.
