Americans point out major difference between Trump and Biden as POTUS kicks out Congressman heckling him

President Donald Trump is never too far away from controversy - just take his first speech to the US Congress as the 47th POTUS.

Returning to the heart of the US Federal Government on Tuesday night (4 March), President Trump spoke to congressmen and women from both the Democrats and Republicans about what he has already done in his six short-but-eyebrow-raising weeks back in the White House.

Focus also shifted to Ukraine and ongoing conversations with President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, as well as what he is looking to do next now he has returned to the role of most powerful person on the planet.

With Vice President JD Vance, who has caused his own fair share of headlines in recent days, sat behind him, attention also turned to Trump's desire to buy Greenland from Denmark, promising to get the land 'one way or another'.

Trump's return to Congress didn't go as smoothly as he'd like, with the President heckled by one Democrat doesn't see eye to eye with the 78-year-old.

Shouting from the benches, Rep. Al Green yelled: "You do not have a mandate."

Shortly after, it was ordered for Rep. Green to be escorted out of the chamber with an order for 'decorum' issued to those in attendance. But the entire incident was flagged by onlookers watching at home, showing the vast difference between how Trump acts in such a situation compared to his predecessor, Joe Biden.

"Republicans relentlessly heckled Biden at every single State of the Union address he gave and these lot are kicking Democrats out of the House for returning the favour," one observer said on X (formerly Twitter).

A second wrote: "Remember when Republicans found it acceptable when Reps. Marjorie Taylor Greene and Lauren Boebert heckled Joe Biden at his State of the Union?"

And a third added: "Say what you will about President Biden, but he got heckled PLENTY during his speeches. He wasn't as much a fragile snowflake to eject anyone.

"But Trumplethinskin had Al Green kicked out. So much for 'freedom of speech'.

"Make some more f**king noise!!!"

Another account, dubbed 'MAGA MAN', decided the speech was a good time to had a flashback to when Greene heckled Biden during his SOTU addresses between 2022 and 2024, seemingly missing the hypocrisy of the wider situation regarding what happened to Al Green.

Speaker of the United States House of Representatives, Mike Johnson, told Democrats to 'respect' Trump following Greene's heckling of the president. But the hypocrisy was also pointed out by those on social media.

One wrote: "I'm old enough to remember Republicans heckling Biden during EVERY State of the Union. You had nothing to say then, you partisan schmuck."

Another said: "We would love to find out why Republican members of Congress are allowed to heckle President Biden during his SOTU, but Democratic members are forcibly removed for President Trump?"

Definitely one to think about.
