Teleprompter Trump in Charlotte, NC speaking right now

[oberliner]

I guess the days of speaking off the cuff are gone for good.

He is sticking with the awkward reading from the Teleprompter, not quite sure what word might pop up next.

[Qutzupalotl]

1. That's a good alliterative nickname.

Let's make it stick.

[Peregrine Took]

2. But. where's the magic, where's the pizazzz? Doesn't sound like a big crowd to me.

Kind of boring. Bring back Manafort!! 😍

[PatSeg]

3. I thought he was annoying

when he yelled at the audience with wild gestures, but Teleprompter Trump is painful to listen to. That unnaturally quiet tone and careful enunciation of every single word is maddening. Obviously, there are words on the teleprompter that he isn't used to saying out loud. It is like he is running for eighth grade class president.

9. Looks like he is watching

A tennis match

[oberliner]

11. Illustrates that he is reading words he is not familiar with

Look to the right, read some words. Look to the left, read some words.

Throw in "One hundred percent" or "That's true".

[PatSeg]

17. He just heard him say "multitude"

You know he has never used that word before. He has a few nouns, adverbs, and adjectives, then he puts very, very, very in front of them. "Believe me."

[PatSeg]

16. Ha, ha!

[kennetha]

4. He regretted his choice of words

"especially where it has called personal pain."

But he didn't elaborate. If he was smart he would have elaborated. HE would have made it his checkers speech.

Now his stupid fans are urging him to build the wall. So much to reaching out to all Americans.

[kennetha]

5. He's trying to say a pox on all their houses.

But he is SO BAD at this. Unbearable to listen to.

[hopeforchange2008]

6. His hair doesn't look vibrant yellow either

[SharonClark]

21. But his face is still orange. And old looking.

[VMA131Marine]

7. Does he have a proposal anywhere in this word salad?

All I hear is that he's going to fix it but not how.

[MFM008]

8. liar

He thinks this will put ahead tomorrow because "crowd size matters....."

[helpisontheway]

10. People over in general discussion section talking about how good the speech is and

to be scared. Supposedly a democratic speech that some Bernie people like. Whatever...

[oberliner]

12. Bizarre

He was much more entertaining the other way. This is snooze-ville.

[blitzen]

13. are you imagining things? i sure can't find anything of the sort n/t

[helpisontheway]

14. Sorry it is in general duscussion

[blitzen]

19. ok, sorry n/t

[anneboleyn]

15. Trump is promising to "fix" the "blacks" and "bad inner cities"

[oberliner]

18. Funny thing is, he is now doing exactly what he mocked Hillary for doing

He literally used to do an impersonation of his rallies that involved looking from one side to another not knowing the next word as his goof on Hillary, whom he accused of reading a short speech off a Teleprompter and then going home.

Tonight, he did exactly that.

[anneboleyn]

20. WTH is this painful "speech" being played on the MSM in its entirety during prime time?

seriously weird -- promoting Trump AGAIN? This speech sounds like his new hire Kelly Conway wrote it for him (filled with her dumb "inclusive" language and platitudes about safety that she thinks appeals to "the women&quot , and it sounds like yet another "re-introducing Trump" speech. He is promising to help women, "blacks," and "the gays."

[kimbutgar]

22. He also called Hillary Clinton a bigot!

[timlot]

23. I'm a Hillary supporter, but if Donald's going to give prime time speeches like this...

she is going to be in trouble. This isn't a concern post. She is MIA in prime time too much. She needs to be out there like she wants the job. This let Trump have the air waves only works if he is making mistakes. If he is going to start reading these speeches folks are writing for him Hillary needs to be out there.

[JoePhilly]

26. Everyone is watching the Olympics.

[NYC Liberal]

28. Talk to the media. She is out there every single day and night.

Also, Trump is absolutely godawful at scripted speeches. The only reason he ever got any traction was he had the racist vote, and the rest has been people paying attention to watch the trainwreck

[Iliyah]

24. Nope, ain't buying it. Complete right wingers running it, do not trust it at all.

[JoePhilly]

25. Call him "TeleTrumpee"

[The_Casual_Observer]

27. This is isn't going to go over very well with his base.

He looks to have sold out, lost his nerve, looks weak. His hair is losing the dye and is going gray.

[oberliner]

32. His base isn't going anywhere

The "lock her up" chants were still full-throated.

[Snake Plissken]

29. Trump expects to be rewarded

because he's finally going to start acting like an adult like everyone else does every single day.

30. A couple of observations...

1-At least he didn't have crib notes on his palm like other politicians that may be recalled to your memories. With the Alaskan, it resolved any doubts about her being goofy and an idiot. With Trump, they would be unthinkable.

2-It seems that a very interesting shift has occurred in how republicans view the presidency. When President Obama was in his first term, there was criticism ad nauseam concerning his reliance on teleprompters. He doesn't need them and he can read a teleprompter speech with precision. Now, it appears, reeking totally of desperation, that Trump's ability to badly read a speech from a teleprompter is the height of presidential competence. Oh the irony.

[LeftRant]

31. Teleprompter use it simply more hypocrisy from Don the Con.

"I've always said, if you run for president, you shouldn't be allowed to use teleprompters," he said to applause during a rally back in October in Georgia. "Because you don't even know if the guy's smart."

"I don't use teleprompters," he said in January, criticizing Hillary Clinton for using one. "Wouldn't that be easy, teleprompters? I watched Hillary the other day and she has the biggest teleprompters I've ever seen. In fact, if you're sitting on that side of the room or that side of the room you can't see her because when they are outside, they are painted black and you can't even see her."
