President Donald Trump 's first speech to Congress is bound to have little resemblance to his last first one.

The old tune is out the one where a president declares “we strongly support NATO ,” “I believe strongly in free trade” That was Donald Trump in 2017 .

He was just getting his footing in the halls of power and not ready to stomp on everything.

On Tuesday , Americans who tune into Trump 's address will see whether he speaks to the whole country.

In Philadelphia , small-time entrepreneur Michael Mangraviti cannot help but take some satisfaction in Trump 's scouring of the bureaucracy.

"Now is the time to actually drain the swamp," he said.

"I comprehensively disapprove of the changes that are being made," said Philadelphia instrumentalist Cassandra Piper .
