Don't pretend you didn't notice. There is not a stable thought for longer than 3 sentences. Even if you like Trump you can't tell me that this looks good, be honest.

Looks like typical Trump rambling tbh.
Putting faith in politicians will only lead to disappointment.
America had a shit choice to make and IMO chose the less shit option.

To be clear, I don't really care about Trump, but this post really exemplifies the problem with people who are into politics.
I clicked the video, I listened to about 5 minutes of the speech, I turned it off. It sounded like any other speech.
There wasn't anything incoherent about what I heard, he was certainly using larger than 3 word sentences, and I had no problem understanding him.
Politics is a team sport that makes people intellectually dishonest about the people they don't like.

He said this
So until today, the USA was NOT a free, sovereign and independent nation? What?
And this will be my favorite quote for quite some time:
He has definitely increased his wealth already with all this shitcoinery stuff. And expand our territory is 🔝, Russia is doing that, Israel too, China possibly will do , it’s a kind of FOMO, and a war declaration?

I listened to the last bit of it live. Not worth listening to. It didn't seem incoherent to me at all. It sounds like Trump summarizing a bunch of stuff he's been saying for a while. Nothing interesting. When I read "incoherent" I think a rambling bunch of stuff that doesn't make sense. Trump does that pretty often. So did Biden.
You can say the things Trump is saying he is gonna do is incoherent but... I mean news flash. What's new. Not sure what the OP is getting at. This is politics and this is Trump politics. What do you expect?

Funny, I had the opposite reaction. I thought, wow, this is so different from his last speeches on campaign.
This speech reminded me a lot of Biden actually.

TRANSCRIPT (snippet - can't post whole thing due to line limits):
Thank you very much, everybody. Well, thank you very, very much. Vice President Vance, Speaker Johnson, Senator Thune, Chief Justice Roberts, Justices of the United States Supreme Court, President Clinton, President Bush, President Obama, President Biden, Vice President Harris, and my fellow citizens.
The golden age of America begins right now. From this day forward, our country will flourish and be respected again all over the world.
We will be the envy of every nation, and we will not allow ourselves to be taken advantage of any longer.
During every single day of the Trump administration, I will very simply put America first. Our sovereignty will be reclaimed. Our safety will be restored. The scales of justice will be rebalanced.
The vicious, violent, and unfair weaponization of the justice department and our government will end. And our top priority will be to create a nation that is proud, prosperous, and free.
America will soon be greater, stronger, and far more exceptional than ever before. I return to the presidency confident and optimistic that we are at the start of a thrilling new era of national success.
A tide of change is sweeping the country, sunlight is pouring over the entire world, and America has the chance to seize this opportunity like never before.
But first, we must be honest about the challenges we face. While they are plentiful, they will be annihilated by this great momentum that the world is now witnessing in the United States of America.
As we gather today, our government confronts a crisis of trust. For many years, a radical and corrupt establishment has extracted power and wealth from our citizens, while the pillars of our society lay broken and seemingly in complete disrepair.
We now have a government that cannot manage even a simple crisis at home, while at the same time stumbling into a continuing catalog of catastrophic events abroad.
It fails to protect our magnificent, law-abiding American citizens but provides sanctuary and protection for dangerous criminals, many from prisons and mental institutions that have illegally entered our country from all over the world.
We have a government that has given unlimited funding to the defense of foreign borders but refuses to defend American borders or, more importantly, its own people.
Our country can no longer deliver basic services in times of emergency, as recently shown by the wonderful people of North Carolina who’ve been treated so badly, and other states who are still suffering from a hurricane that took place many months ago, or more recently Los Angeles, where we are watching fires still tragically burn from weeks ago without even a token of defense.
They’re raging through the houses and communities, even affecting some of the wealthiest and most powerful individuals in our country, some of whom are sitting here right now. They don’t have a home any longer.
That’s interesting, but we can’t let this happen. Everyone is unable to do anything about it that’s going to change.
We have a public health system that does not deliver in times of disaster, yet more money is spent on it than any country anywhere in the world.
And we have an education system that teaches our children to be ashamed of themselves in many cases, to hate our country despite the love that we try so desperately to provide to them. All of this will change starting today, and it will change very quickly.
My recent election is a mandate to completely and totally reverse a horrible betrayal and all of these many betrayals that have taken place and to give the people back their faith, their wealth, their democracy, and indeed, their freedom.
From this moment on, America’s decline is over. Our liberties and our nation’s glorious destiny will no longer be denied, and we will immediately restore the integrity, competency, and loyalty of America’s government.
Over the past 8 years, I have been tested and challenged more than any president in our 250-year history, and I’ve learned a lot along the way. The journey to reclaim our republic has not been an easy one, that I can tell you.
Those who wish to stop our cause have tried to take my freedom and, indeed, to take my life. Just a few months ago, in a beautiful Pennsylvania field, an assassin’s bullet ripped through my ear, but I felt then and believe even more so now that my life was saved for a reason.
I was saved by God to make America great again. Thank you. Thank you very much.
That is why each day under our administration of American patriots, we will be working to meet every crisis with dignity and power and strength. We will move with purpose and speed to bring back hope, prosperity, safety, and peace for citizens of every race, religion, color, and creed.
For American citizens, January 20, 2025, is Liberation Day. It is my hope that our recent presidential election will be remembered as the greatest and most consequential election in the history of our country.
As our victory showed, the entire nation is rapidly unifying behind our agenda with dramatic increases in support from virtually every element of our society, young and old, men and women, African Americans, Hispanic Americans, Asian Americans, urban, suburban, rural, and very importantly, we had a powerful win in all 7 swing states, and the popular vote we won by 1,000,000 of people.
To the Black and Hispanic communities, I want to thank you for the tremendous outpouring of love and trust that you have shown me with your vote. We set records, and I will not forget it.
I’ve heard your voices in the campaign, and I look forward to working with you in the years to come. Today is Martin Luther King Day, and his honor this will be a great honor. But in his honor, we will strive together to make his dream a reality.
We will make his dream come true. Thank you. Thank you. National unity is now returning to America, and confidence and pride are soaring like never before. In everything we do, my administration will be inspired by a strong pursuit of excellence and unrelenting success.
We will not forget our country. We will not forget our Constitution, and we will not forget our God. Can’t do that. Today, I will sign a series of historic executive orders. With these actions, we will begin the complete restoration of America and the revolution of common sense.
It’s all about common sense.
First, I will declare a national emergency at our southern border.
All illegal entry will immediately be halted, and we will begin the process of returning millions and millions of criminal aliens back to the places from which they came.
We will reinstate my Remain in Mexico policy. I will end the practice of catch and release, and I will send troops to the southern border to repel the disastrous invasion of our country.
Under the orders I signed today, we will also be designating the cartels as foreign terrorist organizations.
And by invoking the Alien Enemies Act of 1798, I will direct our government to use the full and immense power of federal and state law enforcement to eliminate the presence of all foreign gangs and criminal networks, bringing devastating crime to US soil, including our cities and inner cities.
As commander in chief, I have no higher responsibility than to defend our country from threats and invasions, and that is exactly what I am going to do. We will do it at a level that nobody’s ever seen before.
Next, I will direct all members of my cabinet to marshal the vast powers at their disposal to defeat what was record inflation and rapidly bring down costs and prices.
The inflation crisis was caused by massive overspending and escalating energy prices, and that is why today I will also declare a national energy emergency. We will drill, baby, drill.
America will be a manufacturing nation once again, and we have something that no other manufacturing nation will ever have. The largest amount of oil and gas of any country on Earth, and we are going to use it. Let me use it.
We will bring prices down, fill our strategic reserves up again right to the top, and export American energy all over the world. We will be a rich nation again, and it is that liquid gold under our feet that will help to do it.
With my actions today, we will end the Green New Deal, and we will revoke the electric vehicle mandate, saving our auto industry and keeping my sacred pledge to our great American auto workers.
In other words, you’ll be able to buy the car of your choice. We will build automobiles in America again at a rate that nobody could have dreamt possible just a few years ago, and thank you to the auto workers of our nation for your inspiring vote of confidence.

TBF, this is the beginning which was still quite structured. Towards the end where he talks to Governor Abbott is when he starts jumping from topic to topic.

I've been saying this since the debates last year. The only reason he sounded anywhere close to sane was because Biden was so clearly worse (and because Trump's generally physically strong, so loud confident incoherence is treated differently than frail, pathetic incoherence).
