President Trump pushed the reset button after a rocky first month in office, delivering an on-message joint address to Congress that outlined an optimistic vision for America.
"I am here tonight to deliver a message of unity and strength, and it is a message deeply delivered from my heart," Trump said at the outset, declaring that "the torch of truth, liberty and justice...is now in our hands. And we will use it to light up the world."
It was a remarkably different tone than the president's usual speeches, including his inaugural address when he promised to stop "American carnage" and painted a gloomy view of the country. There were no campaign-like riffs, no boasting of his electoral victory, no bashing of the media or taunts or jeers at his opponents.
"The time for trivial fights is behind us," Trump declared at the end of his speech a somewhat ironic statement given his proclivity to pick Twitter fights and zero in on petty things like disputes over the size of his inauguration crowd.
