He knocked it out of the park in the first paragraph by echoing everyone here in saying if they can do it to him THEY CAN DO IT TO ANYONE. He briefly exposed other things they are doing, for anon followup. He did his usual Trumpism of explaining at executive level the talking points about the issue at hand, with facts and figures. He dropped a couple human interest stories in as well, and even questioned the federal income tax. He then came to the good news, $34 million in donations, with a very interesting numerical code of 21.42.53.38 (Fox says the number comes from his own team, which means all they needed to do was wait to issue the press release until after it hit exactly $34 million so as to be able to have everyone echo that number). He ended abruptly so he could leave exactly 34 minutes after arrival. Perfect execution.
I understand, but it’s tough to communicate clearly when you’re forced to watch every word that comes out of your mouth. They’ll use anything and everything they can against him.
I was also disappointed, but I guess it is what it is: a morning presser after what I'm sure was a grueling few days.
Captbobbles makes a salient point about the gag order as well, as does henrythered about timing.
In fact, the process of reading these comments and thinking it through while replying makes me feel a bit better. We the People wanted fire and brimstone, and didn't really get it.... But that's ok. He was calm and moving forward.
Trump's role since Biden took office is to be soft and ineffective. He'll probably be "in jail" during the election and the immediate chaos after Biden steals it again. Trump's role now is to be kind and gentle so that he can be brought back into power after everything settles down. If he was all fire, brimstone, and retribution, people would be scared.
My fellow Americans—our country is in dire trouble. The conclusion of this show trial is proof of that. The 50 million illegal aliens who have crossed the border are also a threat to our way of life, and indeed, may threaten us in ways yet to be seen.
I have told you before that the rogue people who have captured our government and our way of life are not after me—they’re after you. Communism didn’t end after WWll—it only hid, and today we are facing a internal threat just as great. They have captured our mainstream media, they have infiltrated our institutions. Corporations have teamed up with this rogue government and formed a corporatocracy in an effort to change our way of life. They’re controlling our food supply, our schools, our courts, our economy—and if we don’t come together as a united country, I fear what our world will look like next year, in five years and the years in which generations of our families will live.
Many Americans feel lost right now. I’ve been struggling to lead us to a better place against great odds and turmoil. I need your help. I need all Americans to come together once again, unite as a country and as a people. I don’t just need your votes. I need your commitment—your commitment to America, to our future and to freeing ourselves from the predicament we find ourselves in.
We have been purposely divided. But just as purposely, we can come together again, joining our hands and hearts, and walk the bumpy but glorious path to true freedom. We must walk together to that place where freedom is not an illusion, where we as a country, and indeed the world, rid ourselves of these chains, and begin a new day, lifting one another up, bringing God back to our lives, and creating a world where we no longer live in the shadow of war and turmoil.
We must all vow to make America, and indeed the world, great again.
I will continue to do my part, but so must you. Stand up for what is right and demand the people around you do the same—from friends and family members to politicians and teachers.
I ask you all to pray, remembering God helps those who help themselves. We must take responsibility for our plight and then commit to action, so we can wrestle our country back into the hands of all you great Americans. There are long days ahead, but slowly and intently, we will let the sun back in.
Thank you to all who have supported me. I need you, but our country…our country needs you more. We have no time to waste.
It is not time to do that yet. One shock at a time. If you release it all, your power is gone. It is drip, drip, flood for a reason.
Trump focused on the case. Simple enough for people to get this was fucked.

Yes, it's drip drip flood. Yes, OP is dooming.
What else do you want him to say while under a gag order? I think he did great!
Is the gag order still in effect since the trial has ended?
Absolutely. He is out on bail.
Aww- thanks, hadn't considered that.
MAGA!
I understand, but it’s tough to communicate clearly when you’re forced to watch every word that comes out of your mouth. They’ll use anything and everything they can against him.
Never forget. He's talking to morons. They can't handle sentences organized into thoughts.
I was also disappointed, but I guess it is what it is: a morning presser after what I'm sure was a grueling few days.

The calmer Trump is; the crazier the crazies get.
Here’s what he could have said:

Silence, Doomer
PRECEDENT was needed to move forward. We are at the pivot point of all this.
