President Trump's Wall Speech at Alamo, Texas
He started about eight minutes late, but it was an effective speech. He used no notes.
He began the speech by distancing himself from what he called "the mob" that invaded the Capitol on January 6.
He called for conciliation. It was a disguised concession speech.
The speech dealt with reduced border crossings and reduced crime.
He said that it has helped control the pandemic. He said that Mexican cities south of the border are hard hit. American cities are not.
The speech was an attempt to keep Congress from tearing down the wall or to reduce the programs of interception.
Fewer than a million people watched it at the end. At the beginning, the audience was about 500,000.
