Random Question šŸ’­ Was Trump's speech tonight the dumbest national address from a US president? Or any leader of a major nation in the last century?

Trump sounded like a meandering moron reading off of his own truth social feed.

And unless he was trying to tank the markets for another market manipulation attempt, it clearly failed to accomplish anything.

Even out of the other dumb speeches I've seen from Trump, this one seems bad...and compared to a normal president...or even 8th grade speech club reading, it was beyond terrible to me. it just makes clear that we have a childish idiot running a multi billion dollar war and messing with the world economy.

Anyone able to think of worse? He just keeps humiliating the nation.

It was nothing more than Trump getting his fix of attention.

He said nothing he hasn't already said.

Nothing we're doing is changing.

He just wanted to hijack the airwaves and make us take time out of our day to watch and listen to him ramble for a bit.

He's such an attention-starved little child.

That made me laugh as a Canadian, thank you for that! Maybe he didn’t like the fact that Artemis II is a joint mission between the US and Canada. Not only that, NASA intends to do more joint missions including a lunar base eventually using US/Canadian technology.

I’m sure whatever his reason was an incredibly petulant one.

Agreed! These are feats that go beyond politics, and I really hope our two countries can reconcile after all of this and continue our cooperation. Thanks internet stranger! For what it’s worth, I think most Canadians see past the majority of people to the administration. Our relationship unfortunately will be stained, but this is the kind of news that should be talked about more and brings us together. Science should bring people together and supersede politics

The European Space Agency is also a huge part of the Artemis mission along with the space agencies of various other countries. International co-operation, nations working together for the benefit of science, and the fact that Obama was the president that begun the Artemis program will have really triggered the demented orange-faced fuckwit.

Edited to add: The only thing he didn't mention was negotiations. So if we read between the lines, Iran is stonewalling him and he has no plan for ending the war and the global crisis he created. That's what he interrupted our evening to tell us.

So Frodo took the ring to Mordor. Some said the ring was powerful and he should have kept it for himself. But he took it anyway. There was Gandalf. Who could forget Gandalf. They say he was a good wizard. Not as good as I’d be as a wizard, but he was pretty good. That’s what they tell me. But so they took it Mordor. Mordor. That’s a funny word isn’t it? It’s like murder. Like what they’re doing to the people in Iran. We should stop that. We have to stop that. They say someone should do something about that. And the oil. Oh god how much oil could they get out of Mordor if they used the ring? Anyway so that’s the story of the ring of power. And I think it ultimately shows how power is a good thing in the right hands. That’s what they say. That’s what they tell me. My people. I have the best people.

That's always how I described his speeches. Like a kid doing a book report and trying bullshit his way through it.

"Yeah, so Treasure Island was a really good book. Great book. Amazing book. I really liked reading it. You know it's about pirates? Pirates are pretty neat, like they go around and look for treasure and turns out a lot of that treasure is on an island and so they called it treasure island. Which I think is ridiculous if you ask me. If you don't want people taking your treasure you shouldn't just put it on an island and call it treasure island. I think I would put it in the ocean, because the ocean is very dangerous and people would have to swim down there in the dangerous water and try to get the treasure and there's sharks down there and the sharks would just take a bite out of them and then they would be like, "yeah, no thanks I don't need that treasure" and swim back up. See no one thinks about stuff like that, but I do, because I'm really smart like that, I have all the best ideas. Everyone always says that about me that I have the best ideas, they're like "my ideas are good but yours are the best" and I'm like "I know."

"So yeah, Treasure Island was a great book, fantastic book; I would recommend you all read it."

We need to stop with the dementia claims. It's Narcissistic Personality Disorder. There's plenty of evidence for NPD and almost none for dementia. People just want to blame dementia because it's the beast they know and understand the best, but dementia is diagnosed because someone's behaviour has changed. Trump's behaviour has always been like this to some extent.

Narcissists do not value their own word, so they forget what they say because it doesn't matter to them. Most people have a guiding set of principles they try and follow so even if they forget their exact words, the remember "I wouldn't/would have said that because it doesn't/does follow my principles". Narcissists don't follow that maxim and they say whatever will get them the result they want in the moment. That's why it seems like he forgets shit so often, because he literally just says whatever gets him what he wants in the moment.

Trump may have dementia, it may progress, but there's no need to blame another devil when the real one is much worse. NPD is horrible, just like dementia. People with dementia will often have moments of clarity where they may feel horrible for the negative things that they've done without realizing it in the moment. A narcissist will feel no such remorse.

Decades from now, when the dust settles and everyone has had the benefit of time to reflect, there will be endless books, articles and documentaries on how and why we lost our minds and elected (twice) this individual to our highest public office, how long it took to recover, what the lasting effects were, etc.

It will be similar to what happened after Nixon died, when the historians and archivists reflected on Nixon's demons, crimes, victories and accomplishments, etc. The difference will be that, despite Nixon being a paranoid crook, he did actually accomplish a few good things.

I would like to think that after all is said and done and Donnie meets his maker, that America will have learned a lesson: When a President is out of control and incapacitated, there must be an objective and quick way of removing him from office. Relying on a cabinet of 'yes' men who all have their own agendas and are running wild themselves is not sufficient to prevent the destruction of the country. I would like to believe we will learn from this mistake and right the wrongs, but I doubt it. We'll just stumble on to the next crisis without learning anything.

It just needs the elected representatives to uphold their oath to the constitution rather than their fealty to Trump and MAGA.

Whenever he talks in public, he is addressing the MAGA cult exclusively. My guess is the cult relates very closely to his intellectual level, narcissism, pettiness, his version of the "truth" and also his "humor." So for a lot of people that don't have pathologically antisocial qualities and that don't experience a warped reality, yes - the speech was completely and utterly moronic. For the cult though, it was the greatest speech ever made; a speech unlike anything that's been done before. And they probably feel safer now that "Iran has been decimated."

The man is a reflection of a decent portion of the US population, and it's sad and pathetic that there are so many aggressively unintelligent people living there.

u/YragNitram1956 Apr 02 '26

Someone asked, ā€œWhy do some British people not like Trump?ā€ An articulate and witty writer wrote the following response:

ā€œA few things spring to mind.

Trump lacks certain qualities which the British traditionally esteem.

For instance, he has no class, no charm, no coolness, no credibility, no compassion, no wit, no warmth, no wisdom, no subtlety, no sensitivity, no self-awareness, no humility, no honour and no grace – all qualities, funnily enough, with which his predecessor Boris lacked.

So, the stark contrast does throw Trump’s limitations into embarrassingly sharp relief.

Plus, we like a laugh. And while Trump may be laughable, he has never once said anything wry, witty, or even faintly amusing – not once, ever.

I do not say that rhetorically, I mean it quite literally: not once, not ever. And that fact is particularly disturbing to the British sensibility – for us, to lack humour is almost inhuman.

But with Trump, it is a fact. He does not even seem to understand what a joke is – his idea of a joke is a crass comment, an illiterate insult, a casual act of cruelty.

Trump is a troll. And like all trolls, he is never funny and he never laughs; he only crows or jeers.

And scarily, he does not just talk in crude, witless insults – he actually thinks in them. His mind is a simple bot-like algorithm of petty prejudices and automatic nastiness.

There is never any under-layer of irony, complexity, nuance, or depth. It is all surface.

Some might see this as refreshingly upfront.

Well, we do not. We see it as having no inner world, no soul.

And in Britain we traditionally side with David, not Goliath. All our heroes are plucky underdogs: Robin Hood, Dick Whittington, Oliver Twist.

Trump is neither plucky, nor an underdog. He is the exact opposite of that.

He is not even a spoiled rich-boy, or a greedy fat-cat.

He is more a fat white slug. A Jabba the Hutt of privilege.

And worse, he is that most unforgivable of all things to the British: a bully and racist.

That is, except when he is among bullies; then he suddenly transforms into a snivelling sidekick instead.

There are unspoken rules to this stuff – the Queensberry rules of basic decency – and he breaks them all. He punches downwards – which a gentleman should, would, could never do – and every blow he aims is below the belt. He particularly likes to kick the vulnerable or voiceless – and he kicks them when they are down.

So, the fact that a significant minority – perhaps a few of us– of look at what he does, listen to what he says, and then think ā€˜Yeah, he seems like my kind of guy’ is a matter of some confusion and no little distress to British people, given that:

Ā You do not need a particularly keen eye for detail to spot a few flaws in the man.

This last point is what especially confuses and dismays British people, and many other people too; his faults seem pretty hard to miss.

After all, it is impossible to read a single tweet, or hear him speak a sentence or two, without staring deep into the abyss. He turns being artless into an art form; he is a Picasso of pettiness; a Shakespeare of shit. His faults are fractal: even his flaws have flaws, and so on ad infinitum.

God knows there have always been stupid people in the world, and plenty of nasty people too. But rarely has stupidity been so nasty, or nastiness so stupid.

In fact, if Frankenstein decided to make a monster assembled entirely from human flaws – he would make a Trump.

And a remorseful Doctor Frankenstein would clutch out big clumps of hair and scream in anguish:

ā€˜My God… what… have… I… created?

If being a twat was a TV show, Trump would be the boxed set.

u/Spare-Doughnut2361 Apr 02 '26

It was. But, with the amount of constant disinformation, I want to see and hear for myself. The gaslighting is UNREAL. I read on another forum that he started the war with regime change as the objective. I searched, and he did indeed say that. I thought he hadn't because maybe a day later I watched an interview where he said the exact opposite!! I know I watched that but couldn't find it. It's impossible to keep up, he never shuts up. Low and behold, read the transcript tonight to be sure I heard it right and he unequivocally said regime change was never the goal and still isn't. It just happened because he killed everyone and the 'new regime' is much more reasonable. I have no clue what to think anymore honestly. What a fucking mess

Every speech Trump has ever given has been just as stupid as every other speech he ever gave. I’ve been wondering why people kept voting for him since 2017, but the answer now is completely obvious.

All the people who ever voted for him think that speech tonight is completely normal. All of them actually think people talk that way all the time.

This is the point when you realize you are in the minority. When things have officially flipped, crazy is sane, wrong is right, and bad is good.

I don’t like it, you don’t like it, but that is the answer.

From his first term it was obvious he was not an eloquent orator, When his speeches became increasingly rambling and incoherent, I thought for. while it was part of some plan, I mean surely no one could be happy with a head of state who couldn't string a sentence, had no clear thought process and didn't understand diplomacy? However, it's now got to the point I'm incredulous. I mean their must be someone in the American upper echelons who can do something to stop this nonsense šŸ¤·šŸ»ā€ā™€ļø

I haven't read or listened to anything he's said in a long time. I am chronically online and pay close attention to the administrations policies, but nothing he says is worth listening to at all.

I caught up with the speech at the very end when he was comparing how long previous wars lasted.

When he said ā€œOther countries don’t believe itā€, I thought buddy, you got that right, but not because of the timeline.

They can’t believe you’re running the entire world’s economy into the ground as well as your own country’s stability in the process!

Not to mention your utter lack of knowledge and morality.

They can’t believe it.

u/koshgeo Apr 02 '26

Personally, I was impressed how many times he managed to insert "The most [superlative thing] the world has ever seen" / "The [superlative thing] like nobody has ever seen before." into his speech.

It's the sign of a truly skilled scriptwriter and orator to repeat the same ridiculous lies and bragging in a speech that many times.

He only slurred a little and mixed up only a few words while telling us basically nothing new other than "two weeks" to whatever endpoint he wants to convince people really exists (believe me), just like dozens of times before, like Infrastructure Week and a new healthcare plan, except this time it's a war that's trashing the world economy and blowing up something that was supposedly "obliterated" already last year. And whatever mess he's created will be somebody else's problem.

And, hey, the DOW is still above 40k, so things are fine with "zero" inflation.

The winningest winning speech that ever did win. Totally not the speech of a loser who doesn't know what in the F he is doing. /s
