AllSides Media Bias Rating: Left
In a stunning repeat of every other time Donald Trump opened his mouth to emit words, a great number of those words failed to match up with events in the real world. With the help of speechwriters, Trump managed to elevate his speech from the level of a third-grader, to that of a third-grader blandly mocking past presidential speeches. But even if the framing changed, the content was most the same.
