Trump gave a speech like Obama did many times.
He did give info, I dont know how you missed it. I was a chance for Trump to articulate why the wall was needed, and how the dems refuse to fund it despite being for similar things in the past. The msm are 92% negative to trump, so he was able to give his message to people without their hatred for 8 minutes.
Yep people fundraise. I have seen dems fundraise off of things like Gabby Gifford being shot. Bet republicans do things like that too. Hardly shocking, even if its distasteful. Nothing new though, and this doesnt seem to be egregious
As far as not wanting to give the speech. first so what. second more anonymous sources, so who knows if its true.
You make it seem like this speech was some horrible new first for a president.
In reality it was pretty conventional for presidents to do speeches like this, and I thought it was pretty good.

With the type of deep spin you provide in each and every thread , you need to apply for a job at CNN or The Onion
Your talent is not served here on ATS.
Deny Ignorance and such.
Especially Ignorance Incarnate.
Mexico , under the new trade deal , technically will be paying for the wall with the new tariffs
So far, so good, if the president needs to address the nation about a serious issue then, by all means, address the nation.

Really good analysis in my opinion OP.
I am struggling more and more to understand why his supporters are not turning against him over this issue because I feel like it’s them who are being conned by him this time more than anyone else.
Muh fav part was when they use to roam around these united states and massacre each other. Good ol' tribal warfare.

Is Trump planning on building a home around the border? no, a security wall, if you can't tell the difference between a Home and a security wall, that is on you
What is your point about "Tribal Warfare? are you a Native? do you think you can school me (a native) on this?

Well if they're gonna be walled in now - the armed forces will be their escape. More enlistments to go conquer the world for "freedom and profit for corporate interests"

So your big take away is this was bad because someone else wrote the speech and trumo read it?
Ummm, that is how every president does these Oval Office addresses
And relying on the media to push his ideas?
There has never been a president with a media more against him

You do know, the trump foundation wont be able to cut you checks anymore, Putin says he will make it up to you though.
If you are going to try to insult someone, at least be courteous enough to actually be funny
