Voices: Trump just made his first DC speech since losing the presidency. It was hardline and weird

Like most of Trump s speeches, this one ran too long, petering out after an hour and a half. By that time, he d been through all of his grievances from the four years he was in the White House and also tried to drum up support for his highly unrelatable problems including, but not limited to the idea that the establishment might arrest his son for corruption. The energy in the room was dropping by the time he came back round to his final promise about running in 2024, something he absolutely doesn t want to do ( I could have a much simpler life ) but just has to because of his deep love for humanity ( I have to save our country .)

Right on cue, a group of people at the back of the room began a chant of: Four more years! It had the feel of a standing ovation after a Broadway play that goes on far too long. No doubt, everybody there was a fan of Trump and his increasingly hardline, uncompassionate and frankly illogical solutions to societal problems. However, they had also been standing there, looking up at the America First Agenda podium, for a long, long time. Feet get tired. Brains get oversaturated.

In other words, Donald Trump is a man who never leaves the audience wanting more. But by God, after tonight, it s clear: we re all gonna get more anyway.

I really hope Trump is not the Republican nominee. It gone from the Evil Party versus the Stupid Party to the Evil Party versus the Crazy Party.
