Trump had to remind himself during the press conference today -- "THERE WAS NO COLLUSION"



Trump was reading for a typewritten script during his "clarification" moment but he made some handwritten additions, including: "THERE WAS NO COLLUSION"




Another angle:



Plus, he spelled collusion incorrectly. (DO NOT CONGRATULATE)

"And we definitely did not collude about the 2018 or 2020 elections!"

"You won't find any witnesses to say otherwise!"

There have been a number of suggestions that he has difficulty reading. As an example, I remember that some SNL cast members noted that he didn't seem able to read the scripts. That said, he obviously can read a teleprompter well enough, or a short prepared speech. He also seems to have a lot of trouble spelling, as evidenced here (and his constant inability to distinguish between "counsel" and "council&quot .

On edit: the smiley face isn't intentional, but I'm not sure how to get the message to distinguish between actual punctuation and an emoji.
