This is pretty much the universal review of Trump's speech: pointless, repetitive, meaningless.

"As our readers know, I support the war and think it’s been far more successful — and necessary — than critics acknowledge. But boy, that was a childish speech. Undisciplined, unstructured, uninformative, unimpressive, uninspiring, unpresidential. I learned nothing from it that I hadn’t known before it started, except that Trump somehow thinks that the Strait of Hormuz will be reopened by something akin to magic. It was also a signal to what remains of the Iranian regime that they just need to hold on for another two or three weeks and it will be over. A reminder that, even if this is the right war, we’ve got the wrong president."

A succinct summary of Trump's tenure in the WH.

I was waiting for him to speak up about this so I could make a final decision on how to feel.

Just one last question - who the fuck is Brett Stephenson?

In fact, many on the left already had their notes and evaluations written before the speech was even given. Dems are so predictable.

I'm sure nobody saw that coming.

He has dipped his toes in the climate change lie. The guy is all over the place but the main thing to remember, he is part of the anti-Trump group so his opinion are skewed big time.

He's as Lib as they come.
