I’m not sure what he was trying to accomplish. Distract from other issues? Rally his base? Provoke an equally overheated response?
I streamed it live and was quite impressed. Being a fan of history, I think he captured the tone and optics of another historical speech given in Nuremberg back in 1938. I'm not sure that was his goal, but it seemed spot on to me.
