Moving and encapsulating

A fantastic orator.

The speeches are so will given, timed and skilfully spoken, pauses for suspense. The gradual raising of his voice as he drives a key point through.

This is how one would expect a president to talk. Reminds me of president Abraham Lincoln, also a great speaker.

A good listen, worth the time.
