Well, the jury's still deliberating on it lol.
The good speech doesn't surprise me any. I saw a glimpse of it back when he spoke before a hostile AIPAC during the campaign. So I knew he had it in him.
But it's just a speech. Obama could give a nifty speech. Trump needs to deliver the results---he needs to bring home the bacon. And I give him a pretty decent chance of it.
What's fascinating is how so many pundits refuse to take this man seriously---he was underestimated right out of the gate, he went on to beat his own establishment, and the media, yet they cling to the idea he can't be an effective president.
Maybe it's partisan blinders. Or something else, who knows.
