Reagan made addresses to the nation on a frequent basis and each one carried the weight intended. FDR had his little "Fireside Chats" that lefties are so quick to reminisce over and those were on a weekly basis at one point in his presidency.

It always depends on the substance of the address rather than the frequency. Biden addressed the nation what ... maybe once or twice at most? And that was too much considering the substance offered.

He does press at cabinet meetings The Oval office.

An address to the nation should be about war, emergent national security...

If it is election fraud hard-core evidence, the DOJ podium would suffice.

I could see an address to the nation not be at the oval office desk.

This is the correct answer although the usual suspects are too dumb to understand it.

That being said, how many times has Trump done this with the exception of Iran and what he will talk about tomorrow night?

Are you against transparency now? I think they should be addressing the nation more than they do to be quite honest.

Let’s ask the Obama administration, who kept having such speeches regularly despite it covering nothing of consequence a number of times.

Trump is easy to listen to. You should have gone through LBJ's addresses during Vietnam. It took him 5 minutes to say: 'I come to you today...with a heavy heart."
Trump is no Ronald Reagan but he's much better than the Bushes, Obama or Biden.

Are you denying that there was massive provable election fraud in Georgia in 2020?

Yes or no? No need to elaborate.

Are you denying that our intelligence agencies at the direct order of Barrack Obama framed Trump with the Russia collusion hoax and attempted to destroy the President Elect of the United States?

Yes or no?

Let's get you on record, because when either of these are brought to the table proving what is common knowledge, you will then pivot to bullshite again.

Nothing has been proven. It’s all conjecture and speculation. He’s running out of time to prove it.

Yes, that’s always been MAGA fan fiction.

It’s not the “address “ that matters, it’s the actions defined in said address that does. He’s going to nullify unverified elections.

As often as it takes to completely destroy the Democratic Socialism/Cultural Marxism movement in the US and the Bureaucratic State apparatus in the Imperial Capital aka Washington D.C.

It depends on what he's saying/. If he's addressing a specific issue with talking points that address that issue, count me in. If it just sounds like another one of his rally speeches, I tune out.


This. If we’re going to talk about illegitimate Senators, sweet. Tell me how it happened and what the plan is.

I don’t want to hear your weekly 15 minute diatribe about how poorly run the country was before you appeared or about the many illegals from prisons and mental institutions. I know about all that. No need to revisit it if it’s being taken care of.

Trump is to transparent. He needs to talk to the press who then can filter what the public hears, that would be so much better.

I do as well. However, not one time did I listen to Biden and only twice did I listen to Barry.
