Yet the propaganda press is downplaying and minimizing the address and its importance.
President Trump’s White House address Wednesday night is an important speech well worth studying. When an American president decides to make a prime time address from the White House, it is an important signal for the world to listen carefully.
Mr. Trump delivered a methodical, fact-based speech filled with clear historic contrasts. Interestingly, he delivered his message in 20 minutes. This is unusual for Mr. Trump, who is typically comfortable going off script. That he kept tightly to schedule and didn’t deviate indicated he had important things to say.
The speech was a major effort to frame the choice for 2026. Furthermore, Mr. Trump sought to define the terms of the national debate we must have in thinking through the future of America. That the propaganda press has downplayed and minimized the speech and its importance is a sign of one of two things.
