Abstract

Donald Trump’s address to the joint session of Congress on Tuesday night in its entirety, from his practice round in the limo to the standing ovation at the end, and it was great — if he’s considering a post-presidential career as a stand-up comedian. But if this speech is a true preview of his tenure in office, it would be a mistake if he or his followers think he will experience any success as a president.
