Thank you for the summary Jack. I refuse to watch him on any platform. It’s sounds like his speech amounted to nothing of substance.

I could not watch. I can’t stand to listen to him. Same lies and self aggrandizement every time. I know someone will fill me in if he says anything true or noteworthy.

We do remain aware of the date. Good grief!

And thanks for the analysis, Jack. Can’t stand to hear his voice nor look at him.

Mast piece of work.

The Straits WILL reopen if you dump in a tanker of Metamucil.

It seems I can never remember when trumplethinskin is speaking. Missed again. Maybe next year when AI takes over all media it will just turn on the tv and there he will be everywhere. Damn, the power will probably go out again. Oh well.

Thanks for listening so I don't have to..

Well, the twatwaddle never fails to disappoint. Yep, favorite hits, moving targets, impossible lies, abd just plain crazy! I think Charlie may be right, he's insane.

Thank you! What a gadlit waffling 20 minutes and change.. Plenty of self contradiction and lies..as per usual.

In his body language, it seemed to be the first time he has spoken without moving his arms. Even though he continued speaking steadily, every comment seemed to be a way of fishing for excuses and giving false promises, which had no way of being believed if a listener pays attention to the truths regularly as they are already known and are contrary to what he professed.

How could anyone believe any of it unless a person refuses to pay attention regularly and does not digest what he feeds the audience? The entirety seemed to be an insult to the American people as well as two people of other countries. He mentioned our allies, and I cannot imagine who he thinks they are since he has insulted and cut off nearly everyone. Can you imagine what history would explain if the video of that speech is replayed in years to come?

I certainly appreciate the way you pointed out his pattern, Jack. Thank you!

I was at work while he gave his address so was fortunately not able to watch. I was able to read a recap. He said nothing new, all predictable, and remarkably brief. The brevity of his speech is what struck me. Very uncharacteristic for him. Thanks for your insights Jack. #Holdfast

You got it right Jack.

This wasn’t leadership, it was salesmanship.

His false claims, lies and lack of solutions made me think of a bragging fisherman, spinning a wild yarn about the mighty fish he had on his line. “You should’ve seen the fight I put up!”. The problem is that fish is nowhere to be seen.

But don’t worry, it’ll come swimming back to the dock and into his net… naturally! ….

Thx for taking the hit for us. Appreciate the summary and the framing.

Thank you for watching that POS and translating so I didn't have to! I appreciate your sacrifice.

Thanks for summarizing, Jack. I’m pretty much done listening to his BS and appreciate that I knew you would do it for us. That alone is worth at least half the paid subscription price.. oh hell.. it’s worth the entire thing and more.

What do we do now? The same things we have been I guess? Keep listening, watching and pressuring our elected officials.. protesting, calling, emailing and donating.

I’m so tired tonight but I’ll get back up and keep on fighting.

Appreciate you, Jack!

And then he said the families of the dead soldiers told him to finish this. They didn't say that but he dumps whatever he is cooking up on them. I am terrified what "finish this" means to him.
