I can't decide if it's a tragedy or a comedy, though.

For those that don't have the strength to listen: here is a short synopsis:
There was a "dark cloud" over his head. He said there was a higher power protecting America, even higher than he... He mentioned Melania a couple of times, saying she was going to be very "upset at him" because he came to Dallas without her...Also, said they criticized her Christmas tree decorations and were never happy, no matter how beautiful they were...The most embarrassing time in our history may have been the way we left Afghanistan, he said. He said the pastor loved God and loved Jesus and was a great leader. The military understands him better than anybody. (It sounded to me like he was under a lot of duress, of some sort? Perhaps financially, legally, or personally? He was mending bridges and repairing relationships with the Evangelicals, whom he must have to survive, not only as a politician, but perhaps even as a free man. Once again, he was very excellent at dividing the nation between us and them.)
Translated: He remains a hyper-partisan and divisive criminal masquerading as a politician. The "dark cloud" he mentioned is the result of him being called to account for his criminal activities. As for Melania, it sounded like he was trying to communicate with her with his "deeply religious" sermon?
People will hear what they want to hear.

Who's Amy?
Not everyone was applauding, and as he went on the applause shrank.
He wanted to "speak from the heart", but he was reading-- and not very well.
Usual gibberish and applause lines.
Seemed like a small group of supporters making all the noise.
