I agree with Sg. The bar was set pretty frigging low, but I believe that speech, despite a few, requisite, bold-faced lies, was Trump's finest hour since taking office; not because I loved the substance, but rather because his demeanor was far more stately than we've seen from him to date, and he came off something like a leader.

Of course, the reality is that the few, subtle nods he gave to the incoming class of Representatives will be as close as we will see to non-partisan cooperation over the next two years, but it was still refreshing to see him be mostly gracious in front of a national audience. Despite the feel-good reminders of better times past featured throughout the speech, I don't have a lot of hope that we'll be shoring up the growing division between the parties before our democracy fails entirely. Still, it was just nice to see something above rock bottom.
