Trump has never been a disciplined speaker. On Friday in Huntsville, President Trump gave four Reagan speeches, in one long, 83-minute stretch. "Twenty minutes is plenty to get your message across." "Anything beyond that, you basically start to lose the audience," Reagan concluded. "You sort of cruise in the middle, and you kick at the end with a strong close for the last five minutes." "The first five minutes, everybody is excited about seeing the president," Reagan said. "I can hold an audience for about 20, 23 minutes," Reagan told Rollins. "Reagan said to me one day, 'How long do you think I can hold an audience?'" Rollins recalled in a conversation Monday. He saw nearly every speech Reagan gave as president.
