He always seemed very high. Noel Casler has great stories.

(32,917 posts)... so he reads stuff off the teleprompter incorrectly. He just continues botching it, even though he doesn't understand what he just read. Most people when they realize they made a mistake, they stop and correct themselves, but Chump never does that. It all sounds great to him.

(2,770 posts)But they'll substitute words and the meaning will be the same.
I saw an interview with Erin Brockovich the other day and she mentioned she was dyslexic. Later she read something which showed what was on the page and we could hear what she said. It was a great illustration of that principle. Many substitutions but they made perfect sense and were articulate and intelligent.
Donald Trump isn't a bright person, so his substitutions do not make sense or sound right.

(15,095 posts)only goes so far. In fact, it probably contributed to a lot of his weird verbal missteps because he couldn't read ahead far enough to get the emphasis/pronunciation correct, especially when his lazy ass wasn't familiar with the speech because he didn't participate in the writing nor read it ahead of time.
And make no mistake, he DOES wear glasses in private. The pics are rare compared to the total amount of existing pics of his ugly assface, but they have appeared in MSM.
As for his weird slurring, his dental devices and purported substance abuse aren't doing him any favors there... But it probably is not helped by his frequent ignorance of what he's going to say before he says it.
