Easy to lose sight of the significance here, but the sitting president just gave a speech condemning the Supreme Court for a ruling that expands presidential power. It’s also a president who stands to benefit from this ruling, given that his opponent is vowing to imprison him and his family.
People will say "oh, but it's scripted" - sure, but he was obviously fully present in what he was saying. He's smart and self-aware. And had an atrocious fucking debate.
They do need to make him more available for questions though, damn the consequences.
