Trump’s aimless and rambling speech during global military leaders meeting

On September 30th, the US Department of Defense convened a meeting of nearly a thousand global military leaders at the Quantico Marine Corps Base in Virginia, in an unprecedented gathering. The emergency meeting organized by Defense Secretary Esper incurred significant costs to bring together high-ranking military officers worldwide. During the meeting, Trump delivered a speech that lasted over an hour, yet it lacked focus, was rambling, and lacked clarity on key points. He boasted about his ‘achievements’ while disparaging the Democratic Party. The New York Times commented, ‘President Trump’s speech to military leaders today seemed to lack a clear focus or purpose, resembling more of a farce than a serious address.’
