Trump reads a teleprompter speech like it is the first time he's seen the speech

I don't think Donald Trump even participated in the writing of his economic speech, his ISIS speech or his speech at AIPAC earlier in the year. I think his son-in-law and Manafort write it and Donald sees it for the first time when he appears at the event.

Donald Trump doesn't know when to emphasize words When he goes off script to emphasize a point, it's like he's replying to someone else, not his own words. He seems stiff, uninvolved and sometimes surprised by the content.

Again, I think Donald Trump reads the words on a teleprompter for the first time.

More like, the first time he's actually read something. His staff probably reads out loud for him. TheBlackAdder Aug 2016 #2
Yes, he's really bad at giving a prepared speech. Kablooie Aug 2016 #3

Hillary, imitating her reading a teleprompter in the Connecticut speech just yesterday. I swear, everything he accuses other people of, describes himself!

That might have something to do with the trouble he has with reading from a teleprompter.

Or it just could be the first time he sees the speech, as the OP said.
