'RENEWAL OF THE AMERICAN DREAM': THEME OF TRUMP’S ADDRESS TO CONGRESS REVEALED

A CBS News poll found that a large majority of those who watched the president’s address approved of his speech. It reported 76% of Americans who watched Tuesday night approved of the speech. 

A CNN poll also showed that at least 7 in 10 Americans who watched the speech said they had at least a "somewhat positive" reaction to the speech, with 44% saying they had a "very positive" reaction. 

The New York Times also published a piece titled: "What Some Reluctant Trump Voters Thought of His Speech," featuring interviews with a number of Americans — some of whom said his address brought "confidence," "hope" and "empathy." 

Meanwhile, the president’s address was interrupted by Rep. Al Green, D-Texas, who eventually was thrown out of the House Chamber by the Sergeant-at-Arms.

"He should be forced to pass an IQ test because he is a low IQ individual and we don’t need low IQ individuals in Congress," Trump told Fox News Digital, further blasting Green as "a fool and a clown."  

"Nobody takes him seriously," Trump told Fox News Digital. "He is an embarrassment to Congress but a much bigger embarrassment to the Democrats." 

Green did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital's request for comment.
