January 9, 2019 at 6:06 am EST By Taegan Goddard
Matthew Dowd: The Hollywood equivalent of President Trumps speech Tuesday night on immigration would be releasing a movie for the 12th time after it bombed at the box office a little over two months ago.
The presidents speech from the Oval Office provided no new information for this debate we are in over the government shutdown and border security, did not expand the audience who would be receptive to the presidents message and will not move a single swing voter in America or in Congress to the presidents position.
Other than all that, it went well.

Trump didn't get his feedback and dopamine rush from adoring fans. Talking about the wall without that is just not the same! He looked about as lively as a dead fish.

Maybe Trump needs to consider a cartoon version it worked for Spider-Man.
