Why Was Trump's Speech A Primetime Address?
Very little of what Trump said was particularly newsworthy. Indeed, much of it would be completely familiar to anybody who watches him speak off the cuff in the Oval Office or watches his rallies.
To the extent the speech carried any real bona fide news, it was those dividend checks for service members and a vague Trump promise to announce “some of the most aggressive housing reform plans in American history” … at some point in the new year.
So, why was this even a primetime address?
Simple: that's one way to get the networks to air all the bullshit he spews on Truth, and with the exception of the cult, no one believes. So, he tricked the networks into carrying. But you know the story of the boy who cried wolf...
Nevertheless, Trump’s delivery didn’t make for particularly compelling viewing. It was a blitzkrieg of words and numbers that would have been hard for anybody to penetrate and wasn’t terribly confidence-inspiring for a president who’s not in a good spot politically.
And in the end, the very fact that the White House decided to put this laundry list of talking points on primetime seems to betray how nervous it is about its political standing and its economic messaging.
Indeed, in his exchange with Wiles after the address, Trump said Wiles had told him he had to give the speech and to keep it under 20 minutes.
The scam artist is losing his audience....
