Every speech or press release or tweet is a vehicle for corruption and grift. You can bet his family is trading every single one.

I honestly have no idea why he gave this speech at all (and particularly on April Fool's day). He said nothing he hadn't already said a thousand times before. What was his goal here?

The author complains that Trump's address was "a disjointed series of complaints, brags, and exaggerations (along with a few outright lies)" as though the man has ever had more to offer. He's been blathering on like this for a decade; what else would you expect?

If Trump isn't prosecuted by the next admin, the USA is lost.
