His arm movements are distracting. He looks like a ventriloquist's dummy, which makes me wonder who's pulling the strings.

Any thoughts on the speech?

I did not think it was so bad actually.

Even before Trump's address, Clinton's campaign blasted out a news release saying the Republican leader has used "the most reckless rhetoric of any major presidential candidate in modern history."

His speech had a main theme, he made it clear that it will also be the theme an policy of his administration -- "America First". I look forward to Hillary & Cruz (who appear to be allies) explain why "America First" is bad.

Reminds me of Bernie Sanders in the Democratic Presidential debates.

They won't explain it because they can't.

"America First" is a sound bite, not a policy.

Overall, I would agree with most of it, however on two points
I don't really agree, at least on the surface. What he would do
after assuming office and obtaining more information is unknowable.

1) I don't really have a problem with the Iran Deal, and I hope he
softens his stance against it once he is president.
2) Upgrading the land-based ICBM arsenal is not worth it.
We aren't going to use these weapons. Technologies which made
ICBM's obsolete are already in place, but he may not know this yet.

Still, the majority and overriding themes I completely agree with,
and I sure would trust him with foreign policy over Hillary.

No, It is a policy and transcends to may areas of policy.

Having only read quips and not having seen the speech, due to work...this is what I've read so far.

Trump stated that the U.S. would do no nation-building but that it would build stability around the world.
- I would like to hear him expound on how you increase stability without a form of nation building.

He said there were too many weapons in the world, but he talked about developing new nuclear and cyberweapons.

And he talked about rebuilding NATO, and changing its mission, but fell short of his previous threat to pull out of the organization.

----
Just a few quick subtle things i've read about it so far.

Some of these guys need to learn to control their arms. Seriously.

Trump makes gestures that straight men use to mimic gay men.
