“last night, Donald Trump gave a speech about how supposedly great his first year has been. So, of course, his speech was short because there is really not much to say about how great Trump has been. For 18 minutes, the President, last night, tried to convince Americans the sky is green and that trees can walk. He yelled at the camera and said that things are somehow going great even though costs are up. He said he is doing a great job in office--all of which is, obviously, false. And the American people didn't buy it. It was clear, in watching the speech, that the President didn't want to be there. The only thing Americans saw last night was a very rich President trapped in a bubble, forced by his advisers to give a speech he didn't want to give. Our country is in a lot of trouble right now, but instead of giving Americans a plan on how we will lower their costs, Donald Trump played the blame game. It is never a good sign when the President begins a speech by saying, 'I inherited a mess,' because that is just another way of telling people: I don't want to be responsible for any of this.”
