On the night of the 2016 US presidential election, Hillary Clinton's "win" speech to celebrate her defeat of Donald Trump was set up as a conciliatory message: "We will no longer be [against them].
The American Dream is big enough for everyone.
As President Dwight Eisenhower wrote to the Allies' "failure" in Normandy, June 6, 1944, "the soldiers have given every courage and devotion to duty.
And if any blame or error is attached to the attempt, it will be mine alone.”
At the height of the Cuban Missile Crisis, in October 1962, a written speech that President John F. Kennedy would have given justified a difficult decision to his “American comrades,” as follows, “The U.S. Air Force has now carried out military operations, using only conventional weapons, to remove a large accumulation of weapons.” nuclear weapons from Cuba.
Everyone knows that Clinton did not become president of the United States, in 2016;
The Nazis did not win in 1944, and Kennedy did not bomb Cuba.
But the letters for those occasions were present and prepared in advance.
Written in anticipation of what might happen, the three letters that remain in the archive are included in Jeff Nussbaum's book, Speeches No One Heard That Would Rewrite History.
Nussbaum reviewed the content and context of 20 discourses that, for various reasons, never saw the light of day;
Including rapidly changing attitudes, or that their authors had other ideas, or history took a dramatic turn, or death prevented the speakers from throwing it.
The book presents statements by Albert Einstein, Pius XI, Roosevelt, and Kennedy - who was due to speak to the troops, in Dallas, on the day he was assassinated in Texas - that were planned but certain circumstances prevented this in the end.
The professional speechwriter revealed, for 25 years, how President Richard Nixon would announce his decision not to resign (because of the Watergate scandal, in 1974);
how is Emperor Hirohito in 1948, apologizing for involving the Japanese in World War II;
And how the British King, Edward VIII, intended to refuse to abdicate the British throne, in 1936, after his relationship with Wallis Simpson became known to all.
A speechwriter “sees the world through speeches,” Nussbaum explained. “Anyone who does this work knows that in almost every speech given, another speech ends up on the shelf.
I was interested in the latter.”
However, the writer adds, the first person to be considered a "presidential speechwriter" was a journalist named Judson Williver, who was employed by President Warren Harding in the 1920s as a "private writer".
“You could say that speechwriters are like lawyers, they can defend either side,” Nussbaum explains. “In the United States, everyone has a right to a lawyer, but not everyone has a right to a letter writer.
So, as a general rule, you will do your job better if you agree with the speaker's arguments, even if in the broadest sense.
