We’ve been told that he does zero prep work including reviewing a given speech. Yesterday he read it with no emphasis or breaks. It was horrible.

I have streaming cable service and they use Nielsen to track viewing habits.

I was watching MSNBC in the 5 p.m. hour yesterday. Pretty rare actually. I watched Chuck Todd (I know. I know. Yuck.) And when they went to the "press conference" I just went to another channel.

He says awkward stuff ALL THE TIME. Literally, his brain is mush.
