17. I caught one White House televised scene that must have slipped in

by accident where you could see his teleprompter. Usually the teleprompters are between the speaker and the audience but this one was behind the audience. The words were huge so he could see them. They were so large that very few words were on it at a time, so he had no idea what was coming because evidently he never reads the speech beforehand. That’s why he has the awkward pauses and the phonetic thing going. He literally reads one word at a time and they are always written by someone else who has a better vocabulary than he does.

You would think that after three and a half years they would have ironed out the awkward kinks for him wouldn’t you?
