His vocabulary is so limited, if he likely has trouble comprehending what he's reading. If he just concentrates on making sounds, it might be less confusing.

...he is reading the speeches for the first time. Very stilted and stumbling delivery.

For example, during the speech in Riyadh, he read something referring to the Fertile Crescent, and he, dumbass that he is, had to look up and say, "so true--so very, very fertile."

Every time he does that, he weakens the power of the words somebody else wrote for him.

...what the hell he meant by that. "I'm hearing more and more about the Fertile Crescent, and they're doing a really good job."
