I thought he gave a great speech; candid and honest. To me he seemed a little breathless at times and clearly had an exhausting day.
IMO the charges are to simply keep him tied up in court, draining his wallet and preventing him from running again.
MSNBC Did Not Air Trump's Speech; CNN Cut Away After 23 Minutes; Trump Warned, 'Our Country Is Going to Hell'
Cheers and chants of "USA! USA!" greeted former President Donald Trump as he spoke to friends, family and all Americans who tuned in last night to hear his reaction to a legal case that even his detractors describe as flimsy.
In what was essentially a campaign rally, the declared presidential candidate discussed the many ways Democrats have tried to undermine him with their "fraudulent investigations"; he called out his political enemies by name, including his latest nemesis, Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg; he derided other, ongoing investigations into his activities; and he warned that "our country is going to hell" under President Joe Biden.
Notably, CNN cut away from the speech about 23 minutes into it as Trump described "where we are as a nation."
MSNBC refused to air the Trump speech, because, as Rachel Maddow put it, it was "basically a campaign speech in which he is repeating his same lies and allegations against his perceived enemies."
Trump noted that "overall crime in New York was up 30 percent last year, much more than that the year before, with felony assaults, robberies and burglaries all up by massive, massive numbers -- not the same place that I know; not the same place that you know.
“And this is where we are right now. I have a Trump-hating judge. With a Trump-hating wife and family. Whose daughter worked for Kamala Harris....”
‘There is no case’..............

I don't know if Donny's strategy of fighting the case publicly instead of shutting up and following his lawyers advice will work.
But I do think he may be on to something. They can do less damage if you fight things in the public domain.

Corporate media outlets may be getting wary of being used as conduits for Trump's dog whistles for people to threaten or attack public officials.
