Normal presidents use national addresses to talk about issues of critical importance. They’re meant to inform, unify or bring as sense of calm in uncertain times. Trump’s was not. Instead, we heard a shouting, unhinged rant delivered at warp speed.
It was essentially a grievance-filled campaign speech. There was a recitation of all he’s done, replete with lies. One absurd example: 500% price reduction. Mathematically impossible without a rebate.
There was a diatribe of complaints upbraiding us because we weren’t sufficiently grateful to our dear leader for his prodigious accomplishments.
He often blamed Biden and the Democrats for problems, even idiotically stating that the Democrats want to raise healthcare premiums. Perhaps he’s too distracted, in between naps, with designing a $400M gilded ballroom to notice that it’s actually the Republicans.

This is who he is – utterly incompetent, full of rage and mendacity and increasingly incoherent.
