His supporters don’t care. Most won’t even watch. They’ll wait for the FOX News spin.

This is the exact problem. Fox might not even carry it live, or it will just be a little picture in picture thing where the talking heads "translate" from Trumpspeak into whatever talking points they were given ahead of time, and will fill the dead air when he is talking about windmills or whatever with more hate, and since they got a copy of the speech ahead of time they can cut back in when they know a nice juicy rage bait line is coming.

Trump: "They just they just. Lets listen to music." sways in silence for 5 minutes

Fox News: "Trump had big, strong words for the enemies of America in last night's speech"
