"It’s true that Donald Trump is not a speechifyin’ man." [But] Trump Must Speak

  J.R. Dunn 

"He gets his point across, which is all that counts. But there comes a time for something more formal, and that time has now arrived."


"In the span of a few weeks, Donald Trump has carried out one of the most sweeping political revolutions in modern history.  Using DOGE as his battering ram, he has crippled the Democrats, exposed machinery of corruption that would have beggared the imaginations of Boss Tweed and Ted Pendergast, and effectively ended a political era going back a century or more. He—along with Elon Musk and his merry band of nerds—has uncovered a system of public theft and money laundering that, in the end, may account for trillions of dollars over the last eighty years. And it has just started. Wait until the DoJ and Congress enter the field.

"It will likely be years before we grasp the full magnitude of the DOGE revolution. The Democrats already have—and they’re running like rabbits. The D.C. housing market has collapsed, with more than 14,000 houses listed over the past two weeks. You won’t find many Republicans selling. Google Analytics reveals that the most common search terms in D.C. over the past week have included “defense attorneys,” “statute of limitations,” and “overseas accounts.”

"The impact of this has been muted, largely by the media, which instead has spent its time bleating about “constitutional crisis” and “President Musk.” So, the public at large has not quite grasped the import of what has occurred, appearing to look at it as a Beltway uproar that sensible people should pay no attention to.

"Which is why Donald Trump needs to make a speech." . . .
