Longest SOTU

[zipplewrath]

I was waiting to see if Trump "Broke the record" for the longest speech in terms of time. It seemed like it rivaled one of Clinton's marathons, although not in terms of total words. Man this guy talks slowly.

1. I will listen to some of it.

If someone slows it down more so he sounds drunk. I’ve found this is the only way I can listen to (and laugh my ass off at) him.

2. He can only read so fast...

...guessing at a 4th grade level, at best.

3. My US history is vague...

...but didn't one spend so long on an inauguration speech he caught pneumonia and died?

(OK, not SOTU but close)

4. william henry harrison caught pneumonia supposedly during his inaugural speech.

and died 31 days later.

he didn't catch the illness during the speech but it makes the story better that way....

it was the longest inaugural speech, 8,445 words
