"Teleprompter Trump sounds like a regular president." No, he doesn't.

“Teleprompter Trump sounds like a regular president,” said Michael Waldman, who was director of speechwriting for President Bill Clinton from 1995 to 1999 and wrote four State of the Union speeches. “Off-the-Teleprompter Trump sounds like a fill-in radio talk show host.”

No, teleprompter Trump does not sound like a regular president. He has that irritating habit of never correcting his misreadings of words, instead trying to conceal his errors by adding "and" or some other conjunction, followed by the correct reading.

Either way, this State of the Union address is going to be a disaster.

1. No, he sounds like a very dumb guy who's reading a speech he didn't write

and clearly didn't even read before he delivered it.

Also, when did it become OK to use a teleprompter? It wasn't OK when Obama did it.

[Eliot Rosewater]

2. It has been established by experts who have observed he has the

reading and comprehension of a 6th grader.

He doesn't understand anything. At all. Or what he understands he does so at that level.

Pretty much what he has in common with his deplorables.

3. and whats with the WIERD mouth breathing?

...I'm not watching it at all but I do want to watch Kennedys rebuttal and all the analysis.

4. He always sounds glum, like he's being forced to read

In that ridiculous dead voice and the heavy breathing. Barf.

5. How can it be a state of the union?

When everything he'll say is lies and more propaganda. More PR and nothing more than another platform to promote his propaganda with. He's incapable of giving a state of the union. He can't even accept reality, or the truth.

10. We'll probably hear about his huge Electoral College victory over crooked Hillary

Actually, what's going to happen is that he's going to give an unremarkable speech during which he'll manage to keep from visibly shitting himself on live TV, and afterwards the media will praise him for being presidential with a decisive command of the issues.

6. I've stumbled onto some terrible radio personalities

over the years, and none of them ever sounded as moronic as Trump.

7. Teleprompter Trump is 5th grade remedial reading

[Orrex]

8. He sounds like a toilet clogged by a gross abundance of orange shit

[PatSeg]

9. And the way he stops

now and then, throwing in an ad-lib, "That's true, so true", making it clear he hadn't read the speech before reading it on the teleprompter. So weird.

[Arkansas Granny]

11. Are we supposed to be impressed by the fact that he can read?

That bar gets lower every day.

BTW, my 8 year old granddaughter reads with better diction and more animation in her voice.

12. raging this morning

even on MSNBC some commentators talk like Trump is ok when reading the teleprompter... hell no! he is in no way, shape, form... presidential...

sign from Switzerland...

JUST another PRICK with a WALL

[Dread Pirate Roberts]

13. The speech follows no logical pattern

just random sentences, strung together.

[CakeGrrl]

14. But that'll confuse the Trumpsters

They don't like Teleprompters - those are for those slick-talking guys like Obummer!

They like their 'tell it like it is' con man who doesn't confuse them with big words.

15. tRump doesn't like teleprompter tRump

tRump likes ad lib tRump. Impromptu speeches excite the base because all they contain are dog whistles intermixed with nonsensical garbage.

[oberliner]

16. The question is: who writes what gets put in the teleprompter?
