8. He actually said drug prices have gone "down 500%" under him. That ain't mathing.

I can't believe someone actually wrote that mathematical impossibility onto his teleprompter.

This is what they got out of the speech? Thus why we call them DUmmies.

I did not watch the speech, as I was either commuting home or having dinner while watching Jeopardy!.

1. Did Trump even mention the Epstein files?

2. IF he did, for how many seconds out of what, apparently, was a 20 minute speech?

A transcript can be found here, https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/2025/12/17/read-donald-trumps-speech/87820921007/ , so I may look it over later today.

What really amazes me about the DemonRat overlords, their MSM propaganda arm, and their brainless minions (like DU) is that for four years...
1) They spent four years declaring that a dottering, senile old man who couldn't speak or walk and sometimes forgot who and where he was was sharp as a tack, but now, they're all of a sudden worried about the health of the president.
2) They spent four years unconcerned that the price of a full tank of gas, a cartoon of eggs, and a gallon of milk was high enough to take almost an entire paycheck from some folks, but now, they're all of a sudden worried about prices and the economy.

I saw where Schumer and some of the other overlords, the same ones who defended SloJo and sung his praises, have given Trump an "F" grade on everything. Now, I'm wondering how stupid or braindead a person has to be to fall for that. I mean, I can understand DU falling for it because they are just mindless minions who are programmed to follow their overlords without question, but I'm wondering how many regular people that they are winning over to their side.

They are an interesting bunch.

     It does not matter what is actually in the "Epstein files," if they can be referred to as files. Democrats will not believe anything about them that does or does not implicate or does not implicate the objects of their affection or their outrage, all respectively.

     In other words, effectively, the "files" have already been released. All a democrat needs to do is assert that a Republican is in the files, and POOF, they're in the files, whether true or not. Likewise, a grainy, pre-HD, camcorder video of Bill Clinton plowing a 15-year-old blonde from Long Island while Epstein nods approvingly in the background will be regarded with silence or claims that anything can be faked.

     It is all a big nothingburger until one or more of the victims emerges and starts naming names, once and for all.

What are the odds they didn't even watch the speech, but had it filtered to them by their favored news network?

The transcript SVPete shared shows no mention nor implications about Epstein, the case, the files, or anything else, so yeah, they didn't watch and are regurgitating the talking points they are fed, or just adjusted their perception of reality to match what they want to believe. As usual. 

Anyone got a mole to post said transcript over there?  That might provide a few moments of entertainment before facts get banned.  Also as usual.

  I should have known. I read/skimmed through the transcript, and Trump simply did not mention Epstein. Trump "merely" spoke of things that did happen.

All the meme signifies is Dems' and Progs' obsession with their ludicrous, Trump is a pedophile narrative.

I'm so old that I remember Carterflation having risen to double-digits.

Exactly. Anything else would require independent thought.

But for this thread, I would have done similarly. I didn't watch or listen to it. The difference is that DU-folks' news sources are founded on Trump-Hatred, regardless of facts. The sources I use - Hot Air, Power Line, PJMedia, Bongino Report, and SRN News - are generally supportive of Trump, but will criticize him when they think Trump did/said something wrong.
