Trump is currently on television at a news conference with the president of Nigeria.

He can't even read the prepared remarks without either repeating a line or adding a side comment ("Slavery is at an all-time high -- an all-time high, can you believe that?", "There are people who know the internet better than anyone else -- better than anyone else.&quot or making it sound like this is the first time he's learning this information. You can tell the difference in the inflection of his voice whether he's reading or repeating/reacting. The first is done in a monotone, the latter is more animated.

I'd like to stay around and report on the Q&A, but I've got to go to work. Maybe someone else can pick up the baton?
