I don’t doubt but the speech was well received.
But I also don’t think that Trump will be able to succeed by going back to completely freelancing speech after speech.
Just as he got his campaign back on track by shifting to largely scripted speeches, he is going to need to rely on his communications team to script the vast majority of his appearances as president.
Otherwise, his team will simply be on continuing defense about needlessly distracting off-message controversies.
The sooner Trump and his team find a way to work within that general framework the better, IMO.
His speech was good, he added Zeke incidence to point to CIA , he like honest reporting. Every side thing he said had direct message.
Before this speech , he had good chat with upper brass. Some butt kicking happened at that time.
CIA crowd gave a huge round of applause when Trump said the media was extremely dishonest
