Is it Just Me, or does Donald Trump not Understand what a Teleprompter is for?

The point of a teleprompter is to make it appear to the listener that you're speaking without reading. If you want to read a speech, read it from paper. The teleprompter was invented so you didn't have to look down at notes. Look how Barak has mastered the teleprompter. He speaks with the proper cadence, the right inflection and the ability to look as though he's not reading.

Trump, on the other hand, looks like a dope reading somebody else's words.

How is it that the MSM thinks this looks Presidential? Is the bar so low that his very poor performance, reading on stage, is a success because it is not a bigoted, crude, profanity laced tirade which in nonsensical and insulting. Have we really lowered the bar that far for this insane windbag.

I am ashamed of America's electorate even if Trump breaks 30%. In politics, experts tell me that in a one on one race, that even the worst idiot can do 20%. That should be Trump's ceiling.

4. I think he understands, he's just a very poor reader

and it's a real struggle for him. That's why his delivery is so robotic, he's having enough trouble deciphering the words.

5. "looks like a dope reading somebody else's words"

if the words he is saying are not totally bat-shit crazy, chances are they are somebody else's words

6. It is insane how well they are saying he did

Anderson Cooper and CNN.

To me, this is worse than his other incarnation, because it's so phony.

At least when he was saying crazy things, you knew it was him talking.

This is like Stepford Trump.
