I just watched Obama's full speech where he mentioned Trump by name. Just watching him construct his arguments, reasoning and conveying his world view in such a coherent way felt so refreshing. I'm so tired of the blubbering constantly coming out of Trump's Twitter and the incoherent ramblings. It's making us all look like complete dolts to the rest of the world.

Bush was not too great either but at least he showed a little improvement over time. His 2016 speech on racial division, anger in politics and open trade was definitely an improvement over most of what he delivered during his presidency.

If you're not looking for any honest discussion, agreement, meeting halfway or middle ground, don't bother arguing with me. Selfish narcissists need not apply.

Ive actually seen Bill Clinton give a speech. It was pretty disappointing, though, because he didnt really seem enthusiastic and I felt like he just delivered the same speech that he likely made at several other community colleges. He was campaigning for Hillary when she ran against Obama, so I doubt he thought she would even win the primary.

George Bush sucked. He delivered one very powerful speech after 9/11, but that was about it.

Obama was a talented orator, even though his speeches have become angry and hateful toward and after the end of his presidency.

Trump is badass. He is the only president who can make a speech as if he was standing in the ring of a WWE event. Love him or hate him, he has a very original style.

The only thing original about it is that he's at a podium instead of drunkenly shouting on a street corner.

Depends if we're talking about prepared speeches or talking off the cuff. If it's the former, then I'd have to go with Barry O. The latter, I'd go with The Donald.

Why is it that he can hit a 3rd baseman on a frozen rope from 300 feet away, but he can't hit a 12 foot tall catcher from 60 feet 6 inches away?

Bush was good with small crowds. Clinton was good with both. Obama is phenomenol with all of it.

Trump is good at reading a crowd

This, easily.
Keep going back, and Reagan and Kennedy are about the only ones who get close.

William Henry Harrison might be a contender, by giving a speech so awesome that it killed him.

Anyone who doesn't say Obama is likely trolling, never actually listened to Obama, or blinded by their hate for him.
