Jonathan Chait: “The actual remarks as delivered topped 12,000 words, or four times the prepared text. Trump’s 2024 acceptance speech was the longest in recorded history, topping the next two entries (Donald Trump 2016, Donald Trump 2020, respectively). The result was paradoxically incendiary yet dull. The crowd’s response was, by the standards of a convention acceptance speech, shockingly sedate.”
“A convention speech can only matter so much. But Trump blew his speech as badly as he possibly could have.“
