Trump is the worst Teleprompter reader

[sharp_stick]

I've ever seen actually appear on television.

The moron just stares at the screen and reads whatever shit pops up. You can tell he's never seen the lines before, it would be hilarious if someone with a slightly warped sense of humor could access that information just before the orange menace showed up to read.

1. : ) Maybe a Russian hacker with

good English skills...

Actually a Russian hacker with poor English skills would have better English skills than Trump.

2. So, maybe Trump needs a 'Ron Burgundy' moment?

That would be absolutely brilliant. Unfortunately, I don't think there is anything he could say that would lose him any of his cult following.

3. Donald's over-wrought hand gestures crack my up

Especially his okeydokey signs.
Like Trump read some cheesy book on influencing people
and actually took it seriously. Pure crap.

15. They are rather bizarre, aren't they?

I find myself trying to imitate those weird gestures and it is so unnatural. Where on earth did he learn to gesture like that?

4. Where's a American hacker when we need one?

One who can--and will--mess with the teleprompter content of Chump's speeches?

It would be hilarious to listen to him read from a teleprompter about how he'll allow Russian tanks to roll into every American city while he tweets Putin's praises for doing so.

5. Well, at least he won't have one for the debates

He'll have to be himself using his own words.

6. However, "sharp stick" is one of the best DU-handles *ever*!1 n/t

14. Thank you

We had a pub debate "club" in University and I got the nickname after one of our more spirited nights.

7. Someone needs to do a

"Victoria Corningstone" with the teleprompter

8. Here, let me fix that title for you: "Trump is the worst"

16. Then he says to the side

"That's so true, so true".

11. Was this on a teleprompter?

12. Retired pro athletes and journalist students take classes and practice on using the teleprompter

It is not a natural thing to do, to read and act like you are not reading. Try it yourselves.
Now if Trump would just spend some time practicing and rehearsing it would be a big improvement, but his ego won't let him.
Even in debate prep, he is not doing any mock debates.
And it shows big time.

17. Same thing as speechifying with notes...

I saw some clips of him addressing the "Values" Conference. He was looking down at the podium most of the time, reading his speech.

Yes, you kind of have to be trained and get some practice to get it right. His method of talking off the cuff, so to speak, makes him look like the huckster that he is. You can see it when he addresses his rallies. He'll say something outrageous, the crowd reacts, he'll repeat it, and pretty soon it's a standard talking point, whether or not it makes any sense.

13. I'd be entertained by the old Zombie Invasion hack.
