I have it on by accident. He sounds sedated to me. On the positive side, he's putting his audience to sleep. LOL.

He appears to be pausing at a word-wrap location, rather than at the actual end of a sentence, or at the completion of a thought.

Heaven forbid if there are any "instructions to speaker" comments in the scrolling text... he'd likely read those out loud too.

I can say most of the words, but my grip on meaning and context is tenuous at best.

It is obvious he had little if any input into this speech.

Like a zombie. He probably gets so angry when they make him read the teleprompter, they have to give him drugs.
