What is this self-pitying stuff in the current President? You can read it that way, and it is nothing a leader can afford to indulge in, and I am dismayed to see it.

I see it as calling them out. The speech certainly didn’t strike me as self-pitying in any way, not how it was delivered. One would have to lift only those seven words out of context of the rest of it and then re-characterize that phrase in a completely different way to “read it that way.” Which you have here done.
