... but he was also seriously jet-lagged, probably on speed or some other drug as a pep-me-up.

Even in Chump's first term, he used to show up in Europe, or Japan, or wherever on the day of his appointment and never a day early. The jet-lag (super-tired goofiness) was always noticeable even then. I can't believe his minders allowed this, old people are really affected by it much worse than younger people.

He should have arrived at least 24 hours ahead, and slept or rested for most of the first day. THEN he would have been ready and perhaps a little more coherent.

Not that it mattered, because his speech was ridiculous anyway. But his delivery would have been a little better.
