How long does the Prez usually speak to congress? MSNBC has been saying "All Day Coverage" on Mon.

[napi21]

but it know the Con's not going to speak THAT LONG! I usually watch a lot of MSNBC but I sure don't plan on watching or listening when the Con lies his way through his presentation.

1. 45 minutes to an hour on average.

However, this will be Donald Trump. With his constant repetitions and word salad presentation, he could go on much longer, saying the same three or four things over and over again, and saying all three or four very poorly.

It will be a Tremendous speech though, no doubt. Spectacular, even.

7. All day coverage ????????????????????

What a bore. I can't stand 2 minutes of that beast. What can you talk about for a whole damn day about one more dumb speech.

8. I have no doubt he could spend several hours just talking about

his "yuge" landslide victory and the tremendous number of people (everybody said it was tho most people) who showed up for his inaugeration. A few rounds of chanting "lock her up" and I could see a whole day being wasted. Then you've got to plan for all the replays and commentary.

3. Extra time to promote his next book: "Art of the Swindle".

5. I thought the speech is on Tuesday

6. They just don't get it do they?

We want a press and media that serves the people. With real news that is happening all over the globe. Not just some click bait issue all day long.
As Sgt. Friday was fond of saying, just the facts, nothing but the facts.

9. Another reason I gave up watching msnbc

They were chumps pravada during the election so why would they change? They are now fox lite.

10. However long it is, it will be the same 30 words over and over and over and over again.

11. He has trouble reading, so ...

His reading from cards or a teleprompter could take him an hour to read a 30 minute speech.
And then there's the time for him to make those little circles with his fingers, and purse his lips.
