Well, howdy there, internet people, let's bow again. So today we are going to talk about

Trump and his acceptance speech at the Republican National Convention, where he formally became the Republican nominee

for President.

We will talk about the speech, we'll talk about whether or not it matched with the messaging, how it might play.

I promise this video will be shorter than the speech.

In fact, all the videos today will be added up will be shorter than the speech.

So the messaging that went out, Trump is changed. He's going to preach unity. He is going to be a statesman. You are

going to see the best that Trump can be at the convention.

Okay, that was the messaging that went out.

They telegraphed that for, I don't know, four days or so.

So the speech started about 10 minutes into it. I'm sitting there like, hey, he's, he must have listened to

his handlers, to his political advisors. He's doing pretty well. About 20 minutes into it, it started to

kind of wobble by, I don't know, 40 minutes into it, fact checkers around the world were calling in relief.

And it just, it didn't go over the way he wanted until the final 15 minutes or so and he pulled it back together.

My guess is that the beginning and the end were the work of his political advisors and he filled in the gap.

It was an hour and a half long.

My theory on that is twofold.

One, it's Trump, so he wanted the biggest and the best, and so on and so forth.

It is the longest acceptance speech in history.

It also was probably part of the plan to showcase that Trump can stand up there and talk for an hour and a half and compare it to Biden.

If the entire speech was like the first 15 minutes

in the last 15 minutes, that probably would have worked.
