Greatest public speaker of all time

Hitler's the man!

As super weird as this sounds when it comes to public speaking yeh he really is the man.

He did alright for himself considering he started life as a struggling lazy artist from Austria.

Still an absolute cunt of a human.

Dont know much about them both! Will have to check them out later.

What about Clarence Darrow? He gave an epic, 12 hour closing argument that spared Leopold and Loeb from the death penalty. I wouldn’t say he’s the GOAT public speaker, but he’s def a good one.

This is Darrow speaking way past his best days, but he doesn't seem particularly amazing. Certainly not compared to a compatriot like Jennings when they were both younger.

I'd almost say he's more of a gifted actor than speaker considering how different and unremarkable he sounded like when speaking privately (see his conversation with Mannerheim)

best I've seen is Malcolm X, was in awe with Denzel in the movie but the real Malcolm speech in real life was levels above.

I like Obama. He's got a good sense of humor.

I vote FDR and his fireside chats. Maybe, MLK second. I don't know. They are close.
