My initial reaction is/was grounded in my dislike of the man, his actions, and his style of speaking. With that clear, he was, in a personal view, as cogent as ever, which is not very cogent, as a personal opinion. Online opinion of dementia may be overstated or a hope more than a reality.
Having never thought much of the Trump delivery, but admitting it got him votes from somewhere, some part of the electorate, I found his reaction an abomination, but not different in style and delivery that he's used in his political career. He simply said SCOTUS be damned, he liked the Kavanaugh part about other stuff he could pull as an argued basis to keep doing as he's been doing. Tariff war still on as it's been.
It was not ambiguous. It was a clear statement, much of it delivered from prepared text. With interjections related to what he'd just said, saying it, in effect, again, but that's been Trumpspeak since he came down the escalator.
So the day after the SCOTUS presentation, the following Trump presentation leaves ambiguity, but an impression he's not going to alter any conduct. And it's not been steady policy, it's been peicemeal disjointed and tuned to daily things that riled the man to make up numbers in response, with no rhyme or reason.
Leave it there for now. It was a DC Friday, (which is not a compliment).
UPDATE: The SCOTUS/POTUS sequence is a reminder, another NO KINGS rally is due, or even arguably overdue.
