Donald Trump on Saturday shouted out North Carolina from the stage while speaking at his rally in Pennsylvania, leading some observers to ask if the former president simply forgot where he was.

    You can always tell when he is and isn’t on teleprompter. He’s Trump when he’s off teleprompter and just running off at the mouth. But when he tries to read from a teleprompter, he’s like a kid forced to read his book report to the class – bland, lifeless, monotone, and struggling to read the big words. Most often with his head down and looking like he’s being forced to read it under threat of torture. Watch his recent NJ speech for a couple of minutes. You can identify the exact moment when he goes off teleprompter.

      Watch his recent NJ speech for a couple of minutes.

      I would, but that’s a couple minutes more than I can stand. Given that I don’t want to stab my eardrums with an icepick, I’m going to trust you on this one.

      That’s the fucking point.

      “Politics” are just shit you say from a Teleprompter. Trump is “honestly” pointing out to his audience that most of what he says is just political bullshit, and that’s why he’s got a huge following.

      I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again. We have an entire generation of problems as the pro-Trump crowd is so anti-government and anti-politics that they vote for Trump. When Trump dies, this generation of voters will remain. Keep the eye on the prize and the long term problem, we need to not only win in 2024 but also 2026, 2028, etc. etc. until this movement dissipates (or if it never dissipates, then we need to win forever more).

        We already have a problem like that; nukes! And we’ve been doing great so far, it’s just like you say. You’ve got for to walk that tightrope forever.

      I think that’s because he can’t really read.

      He’s just a bully class clown who’s managed to get that far without actually learning to read.

      I think he needs glasses to read and that’s why he goes off script so much. He thinks wearing glasses is a sign of weakness or something.
