Obama gave a couple that went over well at the time but he kinda failed to repeat after he was actually in office

haters gonna hate but the canadian psychologist has some oratorical skills. he wouldn't be able to do what he's doing if he couldn't talk up a storm.

haters DEFINITELY gonna hate on 45 having a mastery of a style of oration that effectively motivates his constituents. it's an unusual situation in how partisan-coded the speeches are though, but he triggers his enemies so effectively you can see the talent.
