That was perhaps the best speech of his presidency. If he gave more speeches like this rather than tweeting he would have gotten re-elected. Belling gave a good analysis of the speech just now on his show... he really did try to do what his voters wanted him to do.. give individuals a voice rather than silencing them which is where we appear to be headed in 2021 and going forward... I don't want to bias the thread too much so I'll leave it at that.

Didn't listen to it all but it was the most Presidential thing he ever did. Sad he waited until the end. If he had given a speech like this early in regard to covid, minimal bragging and maximal leadership, things might have been better.
Instead he and his main adviser Sean Hannity decided to call it a hoax. that's why he lost the election.

Well, there were some things he did, and did well. The stock market did well under his administration - the rich got richer - so there's that. His administration did well with peace in the middle east, and under his administration regulations for building infrastructure and buildings have been streamlined so that work can be done in a more timely manner.
But please.
His outright assault on the media, by kicking reporters out of the white house if they said negative things, and a 4 year blast on mainstream media calling them 'fake news', saying he was working for ALL of America, saying when he drove through adoring throngs he knew they weren't cheering for him but for our country, give me a break.
And then his months long temper tantrum pretending he won, culminating in inciting a riot to kill VP Pence, it's too much to sit there and listen to him paint over his grievous leadership errors of the last 4 years and especially the last year. He has destroyed a major portion of our country's citizens ability to discern truth. And now, because of what he told them to do, hundreds of them are going to prison.
No one has ever said he didn't have great speech writers at his disposal, and this has certainly borne that out. He read that thing, word for word and you know he didn't write it because at one point he didn't seem to know what one of the words was. For once, he managed to restrain himself from going off script from a lovely piece of rhetoric written for him, and we're all thankful for at least that. He got right up there and read someone else's words and thoughts without interjecting his own.

can you link us to the time Trump called the virus a hoax? See, this may be the same spreading "outright lies" you're so worked up about.
If you can, give us a link to "drink bleach" moment too.

Here’s what Trump said:
"Now the Democrats are politicizing the coronavirus, you know that right? Coronavirus, they’re politicizing it. We did one of the great jobs. You say, ‘How’s President Trump doing?’ They go, ‘Oh, not good, not good.’ They have no clue. They don’t have any clue. They can’t even count their votes in Iowa. They can’t even count. No, they can’t. They can’t count their votes.
"One of my people came up to me and said, ‘Mr. President, they tried to beat you on Russia, Russia, Russia.’ That didn’t work out too well. They couldn’t do it. They tried the impeachment hoax. That was not a perfect conversation. They tried anything. They tried it over and over. They’d been doing it since you got in. It’s all turning. They lost. It’s all turning. Think of it. Think of it. And this is their new hoax."
