He can "test" his remarks on any advisers he still has, they can write out prepared remarks, but they have to know he's incapable of sticking to any vetted script. He thinks he's smarter than anyone around him, that "executive power" is his, and his alone. And that is his downfall. Any POTUS at any time, from FDR to JFK to Obama, surrounded themselves with those with expertise and prepared to focus on any issue and inform the president since he hasn't the time to do it all. But Trump is never convinced that he doesn't know best and it comes back to bite him every time.
