I specifically used Jones because rube posted him fawning over Biden. My point being there is a basic template to ensuring positive media response to a Presidential speech. When Trump mostly followed it, the same people fawning over Biden, like Jones, would have been positive about Trump (although maybe short of fawning). The template is basically:
- Appear confident
- Have a generally positive tone
- Preach unity
- Have an American flag lapel
- A blue or red tie
- Overall tone of "Murica, #### yeah!"
- God bless the troops
- Don't attack the media
- Don't appear to be on drugs
That Trump could rarely do that is an indictment of his inability/unwillingness to play the game. If he had played the game a bit more he'd probably still be President. But as long as any President follows the basic template, media coverage is locked in to be positive.
