I watched Trump's speech to the nation last night (Wed, 12/17/2025). As others have explained, this was Trump trying to convince the nation that he is a better president than the polls show him to be. No one not already in the cult was convinced.
Trump frantically tried to convince us that as president he is so much better than what people think. He was speaking so quickly that I became convinced he was hyped up on something. I don't know what he took to hide his failing health and make sure he didn't fall asleep during his speech, but they should have given him a smaller dose.
