(10,252 posts)It would surely be a butt show of gigantic proportions. It would be staged to look like a real POTUS was leading the nation. Possibly from the oval office with a bank of American flags as backdrop. But of course, such a speech would be nothing but empty platitudes, read off a monitor, and not read well. No emotion. Just stumbling over big words.
Trump is all about appearances, but there is no real substance there. Just a con man grifter, putting on a show.

As I said below - there is absolutely no upside for him here speech or no speech.

(17,441 posts)He doesn't know the words needed. Will he be able to pronounce them? Will he learn punctuation so he can pause in the proper places rather than at random. Will he be able to provide any inflection as he reads? Will he be able to stick to the speech without inserting random extraneous matters in order to praise hemself?
I think I know the answers already.
For my amusement I may actually listen to it live instead of trying to decipher the transcript.

Theres absolutely no upside for him but we know his ego thinks he can fix the situation, that people are just dying to hear from him.
