What was the point of that speech? Such a letdown!

Give me Fire and Fury and American Carnage over President TelpromptTrump any day of the week. At least then I would actually be properly alarmed by what he spews.

This was just another media stunt for someone who can't stand not having a platform to vent his bullshit. Typical Trump. The status quo holds.
