Here's his speech in his entirety.

I wonder if he couldn't read the teleprompters and went off the cuff.

Here's a snippet of Lupita's:

Lupita was a Leo stan LOL

Are there any notable Presidential speeches you know of that were fully written or prepared but never delivered for some reason? (Such as Nixon’s failed moon landing speech for Apollo 11)

Off the top of my head, I can't think of any specific speeches similar to the undelivered speech prepared in case of a disaster on Apollo 11 (which is still haunting to read even with the knowledge that everybody made it home safely).

Obviously, most Presidents and Presidential candidates prepare victory and concession speeches, but we don't usually see the speech that wasn't needed. Once some time had passed, Hillary Clinton did read the victory speech that she would have given had she not lost the 2016 election to Trump. It was before he was President, but General Dwight D. Eisenhower had prepared a short statement in 1944 to deliver in case the Allied landings on D-Day had failed.

It's not quite the same thing, but I have a fascinating book called Strictly Personal and Confidential: The Letters That Harry Truman Never Mailed that is a collection of letters and notes that President Truman wrote while angry or annoyed but gave into his better judgment and held back on actually mailing. They are pretty entertaining.

Our republican robe is soiled, and trailed in the dust. Let us repurify it. Let us turn and wash it white, in the spirit, if not the blood, of the Revolution. Let us turn slavery from its claims of ‘moral right,’ back upon its existing legal rights, and its arguments of ‘necessity.’ Let us return it to the position our fathers gave it; and there let it rest in peace. Let us re-adopt the Declaration of Independence, and with it, the practices, and policy, which harmonize with it. Let north and south—let all Americans—let all lovers of liberty everywhere—join in the great and good work. If we do this, we shall not only have saved the Union; but we shall have so saved it, as to make, and to keep it, forever worthy of the saving. We shall have so saved it, that the succeeding millions of free happy people, the world over, shall rise up, and call us blessed, to the latest generations.

—Abraham Lincoln, Speech delivered in Peoria, IL, Oct. 16, 1854

Writing Tips: Rhetoric. The Secret to Great Speeches.

The five canons of rhetoric, originally defined by ancient Greek and Roman scholars, are principles that guide communication and persuasive speech.

Inventio/Invention:

Ethos/authority. Preface who is making the speech and reasons they are suited to do so. 

Logos/Logic: Present the situation with facts and evidence. 

Pathos/ Emotion: Use both emotion and logic to invite goodwill from the audience.

Dispositio/Arrangement:

Structure your points for clarity and impact.

Typical arrangements include: 3 part(Introduction, body, conclusion), and Chronological/Topical Order.

Elocutio/Style:

Ornamentation/Wordplay: Vocabulary, rhythms, and register.

Similes: Draw imaginative comparisons. “Little did she know a snake was in her house.”

Prosopoeia/Personification: Embodying ideas as persons. “Time had killed them.”

Hypophora: Asking a rhetorical question and answering it immediately. “Did he act when it was time to? I think not.”

Anaphora: Repeating a word or phrase at the beginning of each sentence. for dramatic effect. “He hesitated when things were still calm. He hesitated when things become serious. He hesitated and lives were lost.”

Epistrophe: The opposite of anaphora. Repeating a word or phrase at the end of each sentence. “For your thoughts, I thank you. For your words, I thank you. For your deeds, I thank you.”

Epizeucxis: Immediate repetition of the same word. “Against good judgement. Against good logic. Against good morals.”

Conduplicatio: Repeating a word as the theme of a speech. “The knife had her blood on it. His fingerprints were on that knife. The police found that knife in his trash.”

Metanoia: Breaking the flow of speech by correcting yourself. This makes the speech feel casual, like it’s not preconstructed, but spoken from the heart, mistakes and all. “It was a mistake. No, it was a deadly mistake.”

Memoria/Memory:

Rehearse and practice, use visual aids and mnemonics, to ensure a confident presentation.

Not quite relevant to our purpose of writing good speeches here.

Pronuntiatio/Delivery:

The voice of the speech. Loud and boisterous, or soft and deliberate, fast or slow, playful or grave.

Non-verbal: Use hand gestures, facial expressions, body movements, eye contact, positioning, going from person to person, to connect with the audience.

I find elocutio the most compelling of the 5 rhetorical cannons. Wordplay is what writing is all about, afterall. Though too prosey a speech can be offputting, clever wordplay seldom disappoints any reader.

Inventio and dispositio remind us what to include in a speech: what to establish, what are the facts, how to structure the speech.

Pronuntiatio tells us how to describe the speech, characters and scenes. And their interplay. Non-verbal subtext.

Memoria isn't that relevant here. But maybe the character giving the speech isn't that quite skilled or prepared, and we can show their hesitancy and ineptness.
