Trump criticized the Biden administration's foreign policy, blaming it for the chaos in Ukraine and Gaza, and maintained his false narrative about being the rightful president after the 2020 election.

Trump’s speech reflected a familiar rally style, but the lack of high energy from the crowd suggested a disconnection that could influence his campaign strategy going forward.
