What Went Down During President Trump’s Closing Speech At The RNC

Maybe the idea was to string together a few meme-able clips that can make the rounds on social media tomorrow, rather than deliver a coherent 90-minute opus?

There’s not a lot of structure to this speech. I don’t know how people will react to the substance, but it feels like it jumps around randomly.

Trump says he will protect Medicare and Social Security, clearly important to the many older voters he hopes to win in November. But his recent executive order to give workers a temporary break from paying payroll taxes has raised the specter that a tax holiday could become permanent and harm the long-term solvency of Social Security.
