'Low energy': MSNBC panel bursts into laughter after clip of Trump parade speech

Donald Trump's speech at his much-maligned U.S. Army 250th anniversary Saturday celebration on his own birthday did not escape withering scrutiny on Sunday morning.

For those who stuck around to hear the president's speech after the Army parade through the streets of D.C. they were able to witness a downbeat address compared to normal Trump events, according to the panel on MSNBC's "The Weekend."

After sharing a clip from Saturday of the president speaking in near monotone, co-host Jonathan Capehart offered, "What's notable to me in in the president's remarks is the lack of, at least in that clip we showed and at least in the reporting that I've seen, it wasn't his usual partisan nasty speech. '"

"He also seemed a little –– it was short and he seemed a little, oh, I don't know, somber might be too strong a word, low energy might be too mean a word," he pointed out which led to laughter.

"What word would you think?" co-host Eugene Daniels asked Jeff Mason of Reuters who was in attendance.

"I think it contrasted with some of his remarks previously in military settings. I was with him when he went to West Point and spoke to that group of cadets, and that was a very political speech," he recalled.

"So that yesterday's wasn't at that same level," he later added. "What is interesting, though, just to give a little bit of color from being out there, is when the president came to speak, a lot of people in the crowd had left him. So it was it was a long parade, and I think some people ended up feeling like they'd seen what they came to see after, you know, multiple tanks and multiple sets of troops and when he came up to talk, people could still watch it on the Jumbotrons. but the crowds had begun to thin out."
