Well, I didn't "listen" listen...

kind of had it playing in background.

Sounded like a typical Memorial Day speech at Arlington, poorly delivered by Trump. Included a lot of 'tribute' segments about fallen heroes and their families, and of coursed closed with the obligatory "God Bless"es of about nine different things.

He pretty much stayed on script, though I think I heard a couple of Trumpisms about the people he was memorializing. He has a pathological need to add a "he's a great guy" comment at inopportune times.

Groucho Marx used to say, "It's all about sincerity. Once you can fake that, you have it made." Trump isn't really very good at hiding his lack thereof. He had on his "I'm being serious and reverant" face. Pretty wooden.
