about the thing you said the other day about the end of trumpo's speech: i did not mean that. yes he has learned to deliver the rhetorical heights of scripted texts with some style, but this is not the first time and it doesnt matter. if you check out his speech after the airplane/helicopter crash he said some beautiful things and then proceeded to spew some horrible mental vomit
the way i meant the speech to congress was successful is in a "television show" format. he made some funny jokes, scored points of common sense most people can agree with, delivered prizes to grieving parents and little children, told a bunch of people that he loved them, and had various other successful segments including his final peroration
the whole thing was not so much a "speech" as a television production. like a talk show where host and guest are one and the same. oprah interviews oprah, with the comedy stylings of oprah and the oprah band. and an oprah monologue. except instead of the word oprah use the word trump
oprah not sure what she does these days, but used to be the queen of daytime television. success in that way is what i meant. the mediatic kind, with a large mainstream audience
