'Low energy Donald': Trump buried for 'monotonous' kick-off speeches in New Hampshire and South Carolina

Donald Trump's first two speeches touting his 2024 Republican Party presidential bid before smaller crowds in New Hampshire and South Carolina ended up being a rehash of old complaints and with a few lines that garnered applause but his demeanor was lacking the usual fire once seen at his raucous rallies
On the morning after the speeches, MSNBC host Katie Phang shared clips of the president speaking and noted the lack of enthusiam from the former president when one considers how important the first foray into public in 2023 was to his third presidential bid with Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-FL) and a bevy of GOP lawmakers nipping at his heels. As the MSNBC host pointed out, the president's uncharacteristically short speeches were nothing less than monotonous.
"Do you guys remember low-energy Jeb?" Phang began, referencing former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush, "That was the moniker Donald Trump branded on the former Florida Governor, Jeb Bush while they compete with others for the Republican nomination in 2016."
"Well, now it seems like we have a low-energy Donald," she continued. "Here was Donald Trump yesterday when he tried to kick his third white house run into high gear."
