I don't know if I can sit through the whole thing and pay attention though because his ramblings get boring and I can only take so much of it when he gets off track, which is most of the time.
I know a lot of people will refuse, but I don't allow Trump to control me like that. I want to know what he's up to. I even watch Fox news at times. I like to understand my opposition rather than just casting them aside and deeming them irrelevant.
If everyone including our leaders handled him that way, we would be winning right now instead of trying to recover from our losses.
Will I gain knowledge from watching it? Probably not, but it is yet another look into his vision, where he plans to go and how he plans to get there. We need to know that.
