The speech drew fierce backlash from Democrats, many of whom wore protest pins, shouted him down and accused him of spreading lies

    I didn’t watch it but let me guess what he said:

    • He is the best president that ever existed
    • Everything is going great
    • But everything that doesn’t is Biden’s fault
    • He is a poor victim of everyone being against him
    • Threaten a few people and countries
    • Something racist and something sexist

      Don’t forget using one off super specific props people to fit his narrative.

      The one person who was surprised when their kidnapped family member was brought back to the states pissed me off. They could have been reunited hours or days before, what a fucking turd to use the speech as the time to do it.

      He actually said “Donald Trump is the best president that ever existed” because he talks about himself in the third person, like an asshole

      You forgot, waste speech time on other people’s victories/achievements in an attempt to make things look overall positive.

      Like the rescue efforts, after you’ve set things in motion for disasters to even happen in the first place.

      When it was live I saw it recommended on YouTube and it was only like, 100k at most on one of the streams, something like that. I assume a lot of bots.

      I’ve stopped watching him. Not that it wasn’t always obvious, but him speaking at Davos to European leaders and an international audience made it super extra clear that he really has nothing else to say besides his broken record “everything is great, I stopped all the wars, everything bad is Biden’s fault”

    I’m so shocked that he didn’t mention the Epstein files!!! /s

    Did anyone expect him to? I’m sure it’s getting hard for even him, a cold blooded lying psychopath, to claim innocence with a straight face.
