I or anyone can write this speech....
"America is GREAT again because I, Donald Trump, put more money in your pockets.
The Stock Market is breaking records because I eliminated all of the Obama regulations.
America is safer again because I ordered the deportation of the DACA kids and their families who are here illegally and taking away YOUR jobs.
I will assure a safer world after North Korea is obliterated from the earth.

I can broker a deal in Israel by claiming Jerusalem its capital.
I alone can stimulate the economy.

I will erase the Legacy of Barack Obama from the Presidential record books."

One would only hope that he doesn't once again embarrass some "guest" widow with an overlong and fake "tribute" for her loss.
