Trump's Insane Speech Was A Loser

And no amount of MAGAverse spin will change that.

Last night, Donald Trump stepped up in the holiday-lit White House, stared manically into the camera for under 20 minutes, and tried to do the political equivalent of slapping the paddles on the chest of a patient who’s already been dead long enough to reach room temperature.

The speech was a loser, a flop, a disaster fueled by lies and dusted with Adderall, Trump at his mendacious worst, failing to spin the unspinnable: the disaster of the economic calamity his tariff war has visited on his own base and the wreck of American prosperity. His old, hypnotic MAGA mojo was gone, leaving only a desperate, ranting old man trying for one last time to inspire the old magic. It failed, utterly.

Its only merit was that it was mercifully short, clocking just under 20 minutes.
