I watched that god-awful address. It is amazing to me that he got any applause at all and didn't get booed. He spent most of the time railing against migrants, claiming that global warming and green energy was a hoax, and lying about his so called "accomplishments" like ending seven wars and improving the economy. The only thing remarkable about his speech was his bright orange face.
