“Advisers knew former President Trump, bleeding support among Republicans for his wild antics over the past week, needed a reset during last night’s 2024 announcement. So the text was deliberately low-key,” Axios reports.
“Trump’s delivery was so restrained, even languid, that it was widely derided as ‘low energy’ — Trump’s devastating jab at former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush during the 2016 primaries.”
“The tightly scripted, staff-driven speech reflected Trump’s weakened position post-midterms. None of the cocky swagger and energy of his 2016 announcement.”
