What the hell is his goddamn problem?

[LuckyCharms]

He sounds like a third grader trying to give a book report.

[FSogol]

1. for a book he didn't read...

[nature-lover]

[octoberlib]

2. His speechwriter sucks. And Trump sounds so wooden .

[LuckyCharms]

8. Hollllly Shiiiit this guy...damn he can't read

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

3. He can either read a prepared speech and sound like a rather dim third grader

trying to give a book report, or he can speak off-the-cuff and sound like a very stupid lunatic.

[fierywoman]

4. He IS a third grader (if we're generous) and he's reading a report

he didn't write.

5. Do you have all day?

It would take that long to just outline Trump's personal problems.

[OldHippieChick]

7. I couldn't listen after he first few minutes.

His fake mouth makes me crazy, his voice makes me crazier and ... his fake words make me want to take my own life.

9. Can I get a link please ?

I still have not seen or heard him.

By what I'm reading on DU, it seems he is as "brilliant" as usual.

[LuckyCharms]

11. I don't have one, but if I see one, I will post it for you. Watching on the TV now. n/t

[syringis]

12. Ah OK

[LuckyCharms]

13. You're welcome. I'm sure links will pop up later. n/t

[Brother Buzz]

20. Here....scroll forward until the orange one appears. He's pathetic

[syringis]

23. Thank you Brother Buzz

I have a reputation of being talkative...

Or I had once upon a time...

Trump made me almost speechless...

A child with language problems would do better than him...

[LuckyCharms]

14. He should be looking into eyes, touching faces, hugging....

[Doreen]

15. What the hell is his problem?

Simple, he's trump.

[Different Drummer]

19. This. n/t

[MineralMan]

17. He struggles to read and has to concentrate very hard.

When he does that, he is unable to show any emotion, and reads in a flat, expressionless voice.

18. I'm reminded of Blumenthal's book

Sidney Blumenthal was on the staff for President Clinton in the 1990s. It was the second or third State of the Union address, and Clinton had been preparing for nearly the entire month of January. When he went up to the podium, he handed the standard copies to the President pro tem and the Speaker, turned around and began to deliver his speech.

Unfortunately, the teleprompter had been loaded with the previous year's speech. Oops. Blumenthal described a chaotic scene as they frantically unloaded the wrong speech and loaded the right one. Seemed to take forever, but up on the podium, President Clinton was unflappable. He had prepared so well for the speech, he didn't need the teleprompter, and was delivering his address flawlessly. They finally got the right speech loaded, and had to fast forward several minutes to catch up with the president, who continued to speak, and nobody in the chamber had the first clue that anything had gone wrong.

Now, imagine that happening to Lord Littlehands.
