and stuck in a couple of pages from something like Finnegans Wake. See how long it takes him to figure out that it's not his actual speech.

The older sisars (Tyrants, regicide is too good for you!) be-
come unbeurrable from age, (the compositor of the farce of
dustiny however makes a thunpledrum mistake by letting off this
pienofarte effect as his furst act as that is where the juke comes
in) having been sort-of-nineknived and chewly removed (this
soldier - author - batman for all his commontoryism is just
another of those souftsiezed bubbles who never quite got the
sandhurst out of his eyes so that the champaign he draws for us
is as flop as a plankrieg) the twinfreer types are billed to make
their reupprearance as the knew kneck and knife knickknots on
the deserted champ de bouteilles.
(from Finnegans Wake)

Or maybe this, from Beowulf:

Hwaet, we gardena in geardagum,
þeodcyninga þrym gefrunon,
hu ða æþelingas ellen fremedon!
oft Scyld Scefing sceaþena þreatum,
monegum mægþum meodosetla ofteah,
egsode eorlas, syððanærest wearð
feasceaft funden; he þæs frofre gebad,
weox under wolcnum weorðmyndum þah,
oð þæt him æghwylc ymbsittendra
ofer hronrade hyran scolde,
gomban gyldan; þæt wæs god cyning!


Please, let there be a teleprompter hacker out there somewhere...

2. I think it's his adolescent rebellion toward his campaign forcing him to be an adult.

His performance the last few days screams "You can make me do it but you can't make me do it well." The hotel rollout, the listless deliveries, the sporadic outbursts...I'll bet you a beer that the campaign and the GOP are threatening to bail on their support unless he steps in line and he's doing it like a surly child.

undocumented aliens.

He has seen a tender spot to exploit and pull in the fearful and "wary of strangers" Americans. God this is low.

He is personally blaming Hillary by lying in a sober sympathetic speech. This is wrong and out right evil.

16. I've decided pouty fRump comes out when they make him say something he doesn't like.

This is his dog-whistle to "his" people that he's only temporarily allowing them to puppet him, so he can take control later.
