"It will go down in history as the Bah! Humbug! address. Surrounded by Christmas trees and garlands before a fireplace, Donald Trump on Wednesday gave a convincing rendition of Ebenezer Scrooge, the elderly miser who despises Christmas and blames everyone but himself. The US president sounded like a desperate man, pointing an accusing finger at Joe Biden and spreading the opposite of charity and cheer on issues such as immigration."
"Like Biden, Trump has abandoned the traditional end-of-year presidential press conference. He preferred to give a much-hyped 20-minute speech. If he had been sitting in the Oval Office, he might have got sleepy; instead he stood in the diplomatic room and ranted with monotone anger. Wearing a blue suit, white shirt and red tie, Trump unleashed a shouty stream of consciousness with barely a pause or punctuation mark."
Donald Trump delivered a highly partisan, theatrical year-end address from a decorated room rather than holding a traditional press conference. The speech featured a confrontational tone, repeated blame of Joe Biden, and attacks on immigrants, trade deals, and so-called woke radicals in schools. Trump made demonstrably false claims about inflation being the worst in 48 years when he took office and asserted that he is rapidly bringing down high prices. The presentation included vivid, lurid rhetoric about border security and culture-war issues and was delivered in a monotone, shouty stream of consciousness style.
