I have one wish for the SOTU...power cut to the TelePrompters

[nadine_mn]

We know he is going to be drugged or hit with a tranq dart, we've seen it before where he is able to read a speech and act normal-ish for a short period of time


We know he doesn't prepare or rehearse

We know he doesn't read well

We know he will be over reliant on the TelePrompTer

I just want some true patriot to cut the power to it, scramble it or something so he is forced to ad lib for an hour. He will go off the rails and it will be hard for the MSM to go on and on about how presidential he is or that he has pivoted

[Leghorn21]

1. Oh oh oh nadine, thats the greatest idea Ive ever heard in my entire life.

You are one STABLE GENIUS, my friend!! Bravo!!

[nadine_mn]

5. I've already see him fail...now I just want him to flail. And blame

Someone in his nasty way like when he didn't have a glass of water handy.

It is so easy to throw him off track...all those hours his staff must spend to make sure he doesn't look like an idiot are wasted once the idiot shows up.

[Leghorn21]

9. Ah ha haaa, yes that is a shit ton of wasted hours his staff spends, propping his dumb ass up,

ain’t it?

But I must admit, I DO enjoy watching him quench his thirst when his water finally arrives!!

[nadine_mn]

12. It's like the first time he's ever had to drink from a bottle

He must be so used to straws with his Big Mac meals, he has no idea how to use anything else.

No one knew when applying to work at the White House they would have to teach a grown ass man how to drink water.

[pressbox69]

2. Yes

he will be doing his walking dead thing again and all the media will praise the fine job he did.

[TeamPooka]

3. Would he even carry a back up of the speech in the leather folder all other POTUS use?

or does his just hold fast food menus?

[nadine_mn]

4. Remember when he did that speech after Charlottesville

And he had a piece of paper with 36 font typing on it...the stack of paper he would need to get through the speech would be yuge ..esp for his tiny hands to handle. Like 2 sentences a page...think of the risk of paper cuts!

Honestly the prompter must only show one or two words at a time

[HipChick]

7. Even his teleprompter has like 40 font size

He's too vain to wear his glasses...

[LastLiberal in PalmSprings]

6. Didn't something similar happen with President Clinton?

When he started his 1994 SOTU address he suddenly discovered the wrong speech had been loaded into the teleprompter. Without a pause he began speaking, and did the entire speech without teleprompter.

How much would it cost to bribe the Congressional electrician to turn off the circuit breaker to the teleprompter about five minutes into Donnie Two Shoes' speech? Give him some time to feel confident, then pop his balloon.

[nadine_mn]

8. Yes...lull him into his false confidence

Pretty sure even George W would have been able to string a few sentences together...or at least walk off. W could at least handle when things go wrong (shoes being tossed) without going into a full meltdown.

Other presidents had the ability to rehearse and maybe even *gasp* participate in the writing of the speech so they would know what to say other than "I'm like really smart"

[Grammy23]

14. Instead of his prepared text,

Load a full confession in the TelePrompTer. Everything. Name names. Spell it out. Watch his face melt as he realizes what is scrolling by his eyes.

Now who do we have to pay off to make that happen??

[Leghorn21]

10. OOPS

Flail, muthafuckah!!

[nadine_mn]

11. Lmao! Perfect...

Be great it if was Melania unplugging a prompter so she could charge her phone

[3catwoman3]

13. The YUGE font could explain...

..some of the awkward choppiness of the sentences and common words being pronounced incorrectly (the emPHAsis on the wrong syLLAble, as it were) that I have heard when he is reading aloud. It is almost like he can't even read a whole multisyllabic word, but has to break them down into their syllables.
