President Trump made his first address to a joint session of Congress on Tuesday night, and his message took a different tone than his usual rhetoric. He frequently called on Democrats and Republicans to unite behind his policies. Some subjects elicited applause from both sides of the aisle (see: veterans affairs, infrastructure spending), but, since many of POTUS's goals are already proving quite divisive, there was also some very noticeable dissent.
Here, the six times Trump was audibly booed during his speech:
Many audible "BOOS" in House chamber as @realDonaldTrump enters. #JointSession #RESISTANCE #resistMarch 1, 2017
#Democrats sit down as @realDonaldTrump enters #Jointsession. Boos can be heard! #AddressToCongress #JointAddressMarch 1, 2017
When he claimed his administration was "draining the swamp" of corruption, even when that's likely not the case:
When he called on Congress to repeal and replace Obamacare:
"Tonight, I am also calling on this #Congress to repeal and replace #Obamacare." - @POTUS #TrumpAddress #Jointsession #Jointaddress pic.twitter.com/6rK4zK6pFCMarch 1, 2017
That drew some loud "boos" #Jointsession https://t.co/WNiKItAdMzMarch 1, 2017

When he talked about building "a great wall on our southern border:"
Heard some faint boos in the crowd after President Trump said "Obamacare is collapsing" #JointSessionMarch 1, 2017
@VP totally chuckled when @POTUS mentioned building the wall! #JointAddress #Jointsession pic.twitter.com/ntXyAAe5FaMarch 1, 2017
Mentions the Wall. Half of Congress boos. And for good reason. It's expensive and unnecessary.#JointSessionMarch 1, 2017
When he talked about restarting construction on the Keystone and Dakota Access pipelines:
@POTUS says construction will soon begin on the wall. Half boos, half applause. #JointsessionMarch 1, 2017

And when he announced a new office, VOICE, Victims of Immigration Crime Engagement, a move that critics found offensive and even racist:

Boos heard loudly at mention of #KeystoneXL #Jointsession #JointAddress #AddressToCongressMarch 1, 2017
