Yeah, there are words on a page, and the come out of his mouth. But he always sounds as if he's reading these things for the first time. No inflection, no emotion. Just words on a page, and he doesn't seem to have any idea what it is he is actually reading.
He was stiff and distant today with the NATO head. But also look at his ceremonial EO signings. He is reading something written for him by someone else, that isn't unusual. His reading is typically dry and lacking in any depth, until he reaches some statistic he wasn't aware of. Then he stops, goes off script and says something like "Wow! Really? Isn't that great! Look at these guys, they're great! Great work you guys!" It's like the first time he's ever heard about the subject he's signing an EO about.
He is more of a puppet than W ever was. The only real difference is that Trump is an evil, vindictive, pathological liar puppet.

He has the brainpower of a 5th grader, the attention span of a 4th grader, the reading skills of a 3rd grader, the temperament of a 2 year old, and the IQ of pond scum.
There are very few rooms he can walk into where he doesn't instantly become the dumbest person in that room.
