Trump basically tried to give a campaign speech ... nothing really new to talk about except that he wants to give everyone in the military a bonus from his "tariffs". Which really means we who pay for everything are giving the military a bonus.

I mean, I'm not against that - but we already have a lot of tax money going to the military & we are facing steep increases on our medical insurance. So, as someone who has a chronic illness, I can confirm that this guy is the worst president I have seen in my lifetime (LBJ was president when I was born).

I can’t stand to hear the sound of his voice. It literally makes my skin crawl. So I watched about the first 10 minutes of it reading the captions only. It’s just another one of his grievance speeches in which he feels compelled to talk about how terrible Joe Biden was. He’s so sick.

It seems to be over already. No major announcements. No nothing. Just a firehose of the same old lies.
Why was there even a speech, if you can call it that?

I intended just to watch a few minutes until the announcement was made, but it was over so quickly.

really set me off. I just finished watching the asshole because I want to know what he's doing and saying rather than watch chopped up or selectively edited clips that are often misleading.
I was surprised that it was mostly uneventful, just a bunch of rah rah stuff that we've already heard before.
The only thing that really caught me off guard is that he finished it in ~15 minutes instead of rambling for 2 hours again.

The man spent 18 minutes shouting out that he is a total lunatic. I’m pretty sure Don Jr provided the coke or the meth. There was fear in his eyes. I would have laughed all the way through more lies than anyone ever thought was possible if it weren’t for the fact that he’s the FUCKING POTUS!

It was even worse than you could possibly imagine. For almost 19 minutes he didn’t breathe while barking lies louder and louder. He actually stated that he reduced the prices of prescription drugs by 400, 500, sometimes 600% I had no idea he lowered my mortgage, eliminated inflation, and lowered the price of food and gas more than anyone ever thoght possible. You need to watch it, and you need to make anyone that supports Trump watch. Then start asking questions.
