Trump Speech

This speech is pretty lackluster.

Yep, he's treating it more like a campaign rally. With the right speech, he could have clinched this election.
This is not the right speech...
“Cry havoc and let slip the DOGE of war!”
Those who cheered as J-6 American prisoners were locked in solitary for 18 months without trial, now suddenly fight tooth and nail for foreign terrorists’ "due process". — Buck Sexton

No. It wasn’t even a speech and looked like he put no effort whatsoever into it.

I disagree in part. The early part of the speech was fairly scripted and effective, as he was talking about the assassination attempt and being President of all Americans. Then, he got off script, off the rails in an adlib campaign -type talk, trying to tone down the personal attack stuff, but wandering through the issues while calling out people in the crowd and interjecting little personal thank-yous. I know he was trying to hammer certain themes such as illegal immigration, but he would work on one subject, move to another and then circle back. At the very end of the speech he finally focused back in and humbly asked for the votes of all Americans.
He could have done better and said what he needed to say in 30-40 minutes.

A guy like Trump is going to have one style when he’s talking to a bunch of fans and should have another when he’s trying to reach a broader audience. While this should have been the latter, I suspect he was driven by habit and by the people in the room to shift into the former. From the reporting I saw it sounded like he started off with a speech and went into Trump Rally mode after a half hour or so.

Maybe he just loves the sound of his own voice. He rambles on about all kinds of bullshit as though everybody should be riveted by his thoughts on any number of topics. He reminds me of me after I've had a certain quantity of alcohol. Obviously, my wife tells me to STFU and does everybody a favour. He doesn't have anybody like that, presumably.

The thing is he's not a good speaker, although I'm sure he thinks he is. It was a droning, unoriginal, lazy waste of time. He said nothing surprising or revelatory or even seriously emotional about the shooting and offered up nothing we haven't heard before about platform.

Nobody knows more about speaking than he does.

He's in his 70's and does a lot of rallies. Habits are very hard to break at that age.
