Analysis of Trump's Speech at the Convention
Trump's speech at the convention was described as starting with unity but quickly transitioning into a typical rally speech.

Commentators noted a lack of emotional depth and narrative structure in addressing significant events, leading to a missed opportunity to connect with a broader audience.
