"Doug Mills for AP President Donald Trump's primetime speech on Wednesday night accomplished one unlikely thing: it brought conservative commentator Matt Walsh and lefty pundit Keith Olbermann together in agreement that it was pointless. Both Walsh and Olbermann said the same thing on X, with Walsh saying it was perhaps the most pointless primetime presidential address ever delivered in American history. That was perhaps the most pointless primetime presidential address ever delivered in American history Matt Walsh (@MattWalshBlog) December 18, 2025 Sugar Daddy Olbermann was even harsher which isn't much of a surprise because he hates the president."
"And liberal influencer Harry Sisson whom President Trump infamously dumped digital excrement on a few months ago said the president sounds like total sh*t during this pointless speech. Donald Trump sounds like total shit during this pointless speech. He's lying, stumbling over his words, and rambling incoherently. Total disaster. Harry Sisson (@harryjsisson) December 18, 2025"
"The president's speech rattled off a number of moves his administration has made since he returned to office in January. Trump said those moves like clamping down on illegal immigration and implementing new tariffs have turned the U.S. into the hottest country in the world. Trump said it's a stark change from where the country was under ex-President Joe Biden."
Conservative commentator Matt Walsh and left-leaning pundit Keith Olbermann both called the primetime address pointless. Multiple commentators from across politics described the speech as incoherent, rambling, or pointless, including Tim Miller, Reason, and Harry Sisson. Social-media posts mocked the speech's repetition and tone, with Jonathan Chait satirically describing a repetitive delivery. The speech cataloged administration actions since January, citing measures such as tougher illegal-immigration enforcement and new tariffs. The speech framed those moves as transforming the United States and contrasted that portrayal with the prior administration under Joe Biden.
