On Wednesday night, President Donald Trump angrily shouted a cheerful speech about how well his administration is doing.

The bizarre and disorienting White House speech, delivered by a growling, red-faced Trump, failed to make news that some had anticipated on economic policy or Venezuela. Instead, Trump recycled a familiar litany of grievances and boasts, from the invasion at the southern border and the historic inflation under his predecessor, former President Joe Biden, to his administration’s supposedly historic success at turning these disasters around.
