Pointless .
We need to compare Obama’s s Trumps speech .
Here's the tally, junior. Here are the number of times Trump said...
I: 4
My: 2
We: 8
Our: 20
So, 6 personal vs. 28 inclusive. That's a ratio of 21% personal to the inclusive usage.

For comparison, Obabble used said...
I: 113
My: 19
We: 62
Our: 42
for a ratio of 127% personal to inclusive. His personal references ratio is over 400% higher than Trump's....because Obabble is a self-absorbed narcissist.

That's why I calculated the ratios, hun.
Trump's personal (I, Me) reference ratio was 21% to inclusive (We, Our) references.
Obabble's personal reference ratio was 127% to inclusive. This is pretty common in his speeches throughout his two terms. IOW, he makes everything about himself.
Oh, I forgot. You progs can't do math. But here's some more! I compared the first State of the Union address for Obabble and Trump:
Obabble's made 116 self-references compared to 275 inclusive ones, a ratio of 41%, better than his later ones where he was in full narcissistic bloom.
Trump made 41 self-references compared to 238 inclusive ones, a ratio of 17%.
Which means Obabble referred to himself 2.5 times more than Trump did. Quite revealing.
