Trump's speech on Tuesday evening isn't technically considered a State of the Union address - that comes next year, after he's been on the job for longer - but there's no distinguishable difference for anyone watching at home.
Fallout continues after Trump's meeting with Zelenskyy as his first big speech to Congress is set for Tuesday.
Almost no detail is left to chance in these situations. Here's an idea of what to look and listen for:The most powerful people in American government are usually on the dais during an event like this. While the president addresses the nation, the House speaker and the vice president, who doubles as the ceremonial leader of the Senate, sit behind him.
Now the future of U.S. support for Ukraine, which has been fending off a Russian invasion for three years, is increasingly in doubt. "You either make a deal or we are out," Trump told Zelenskyy. President Joe Biden got into his own back-and-forth with Republicans, and Trump is known for deviating from his script with attempts to stir outrage among his opponents.
The president wants spending cuts, border security funding and tax cuts - a politically sensitive combination at a time when Republicans have only slim majorities in the House and the Senate. The party will need almost complete unanimity to move forward.
