Trump is reading a speech he doesn't understand

[Renew Deal]

He's like a newsperson just reading the scrolling words. The russian puppet has no idea what the words mean.

[underpants]

1. aaaaand booms goes the dynamite

[MoonRiver]

2. And he is misreading a lot of words!

What a colossal loser!

[HipChick]

20. So there was no prep...he thinks he can just 'wing' it..

[MoonRiver]

28. Or there was a prep, and the idiot forgot.

[Maru Kitteh]

54. I'm completely sincere when I say, I don't think he has the attention span for prep

I wish that was a joke. Instead, it seems an unsettling portion of the Republican voter base is a joke. A really bad one.

[MoonRiver]

55. I agree. He assaulted his second grade teacher. Probably was severely ADHD, but never dx'd

or treated, to our knowledge. He stated that he is just like he was at 6 years old. Truer words were never said.

[Maru Kitteh]

56. Holy crap. Hadn't heard about that one, or his admission that he's an aged child.

[MoonRiver]

57. Yes, I have a post about this.

It's a Newsweek analysis about his fraudulent claims that he is good at business. Not being successful at copying and pasting on this iPad.

[MoonRiver]

60. Here's the post I was talking about.

[TeamPooka]

29. Sure, he's a one-take wonder. lol. nt

[KittyWampus]

49. your response has me laughing. The guy has probably had an entire life of mulligans

and people around him wiling to pretend he got it on the first try.

[TeamPooka]

50. filming The Apprentice must have been a nightmare for the crew. nt

[NewJeffCT]

34. I wonder if there is an O'Reilly-esque video

of Trump shrieking, "fuck it, we'll do it live!"

[MynameisBlarney]

39. A tremendous loser!

The best!

[3catwoman3]

45. That can be his next show.

A political version of The Biggest Loser.

[Doodley]

3. If he had a clue what he was reading, he'd know it was full of ideas that would ruin the economy.

[MineralMan]

4. There is so much that Trump does not understand.

Including the words he is reading. He reads aloud poorly, due to his lack of intelligence and limited vocabulary. Those cause him to stumble over words other people know. He simply doesn't understand them.

He's "Tremendously" stupid.

[Hortensis]

5. Yes, but he's delivering fairly competently.

Unfortunately. Remember, most of his followers and others who might go back to him don't know what he's talking about either. He just has to look good to them.

We're naturally spoiled by all the gifts he's given us, but we may have to wean down and settle for less frequent flows of his priceless gems.

[Buckeye_Democrat]

6. Would he even know the first THREE WORDS of the Constitution's Preamble?

I seriously doubt it.

[NastyRiffraff]

17. Or even the first word

"We"

Trump: "I alone can fix"

[Buckeye_Democrat]

23. Good point! n/t

[jtuck004]

43. He thinks it's French, and vowed to change it to "I" in the first hour of his most excellent

presidency.

[procon]

7. He's rotating from right to left so he can read off the teleprompter.

He's so stiff he has to turn his whole body, like his neck is so thick he can't move his head.

[mopinko]

8. glued to the teleprompter.

and contradicting himself, and getting booed.

[Peregrine Took]

9. Good point. Just a bunch of blah blah words.

He will bore us to death in the next 90 some day.

[oberliner]

10. Who wrote it, I wonder

I'd like to know who the puppet masters are here.

[Doodley]

11. The tax cuts of that size are unsustainable and will lead to massive debt, runaway inflation and

high interest rates. Combine that with removing 12 million consumers and trade wars that would also be inflationary and you are looking at a recession and millions of lost jobs.

[Johnyawl]

38. That sounds more like a depression to me...

[Tommy_Carcetti]

12. Wrong. He's going to bring titties to Detroit.

Detroit is tittyless, and Donald Trump will bring them to Detroit. Bigly.

[yellowcanine]

16. No no no. That is "kitties"

The kittehs will be YUUUGE!

[HipChick]

21. This is HUUGEE! Titties..

WTF?

[oberliner]

13. Can't wait for presser when media interviews Trump on his economic policy, sans teleprompter

Saw that comment on Twitter. Totally agree. Can't even imagine such a thing happening.

[MANative]

22. Or the debate (yeah, right!) where he has to answer substantive questions.

If he actually shows up to one, he'll have to go the route of the Dim Son to have a ghost of a chance. Even then, he doesn't listen to any of his advisors (because he's so tremendously smart all by himself) that the little voice in his ear would be worse than useless. I'd pay to see it!

[PJMcK]

30. You won't have to pay

The debates are free! Buy your own popcorn, though.

And don't play any drinking games, MANative because with Donald Trump, you'll be smashed in the first half hour.

[MANative]

31. LOL

Along with my YUUUGE bucket of popcorn, I may need to go with near-beer for when tRump is speaking!

[NewJeffCT]

37. every debate topic

he will bring up Benghazi, Emails and building his wall.

Debate Moderator: "Mr. Trump, How do you respond to what Secretary Clinton says about the Middle East?"

Trump, "Well, Hillary is a big fat loser who should be in jail for her emails. Did I mention Benghazi? She fell asleep while Benghazi was happening. Can you believe it? I'm going to sit down with ISIS and offer to build a big beautiful golf course for them. It will be the best golf course, the greatest. I'm telling you. Did I mention I'm going to build a wall to keep ISIS in Mexico? It will be a big, beautiful wall with a beautiful door in it, and Mexico is going to pay for it, because I'm a winner and Hillary is a loser."

[jcgoldie]

41. "Believe me..."

DRINK!

[Doodley]

14. Trump's economic policies alone would turn every nation against us, gutting climate change and other

environmental agreements, starting trade wars and increasing military presence in the South China Sea to bully them into trade compliance.

[Doodley]

15. A pityfull speech with a very subdued reaction from the audience.

[sailfla]

18. I had the same feeling

He does not understand what all those words mean

[lark]

19. OR - maybe he understands and knows he's lying so it's harder for him to say.

That's the feeling I got listening to his so-called support of McCain, Ayotte and Paul Ryan. You could tell he was just going along with this since his kids felt so strongly. You could see that he didn't believe a single word he was reading.

[denbot]

24. Wrong, if he was certain he was lying..

He would really be able to SELL IT!!!!

[lark]

52. I don't know about that.

Did you see the clip? It was the most lukewarm, he didn't mean a single thing he just said, endorsement I've ever seen. It was like he truly hates them, but was being forced to do this. It came through so loud and clear. I know he can lie better than that, he just didn't want to, he wanted us to know he was just being a "party guy" in giving the recommendations.

[denbot]

58. Have you ever slapped a leash on a cat?

It will not fight it. It will merely flop over and allow you to drag it around. Every time I see The Tang Stained Tain't reading a prepared speech, it reminds me of a cat being dragged by a leash.

[NurseJackie]

25. Like a kid reading a book report that his mom wrote (on the night before it was due).

[SunSeeker]

42. LOL

[onecaliberal]

27. Bigly stupid

[cynzke]

32. AS HIS NUMBERS CONTINUE TO PLUMMET.....

He will blame his campaign advisers for anchoring him to the teleprompter.

[moonscape]

47. And then go free-wheelin' off the teleprompter? Oh goody! n/t

[lsewpershad]

33. I watched some of it

I'm convinced he did not know what he was reading and he did not care.
..
Don't believe ? Look at when you can

[3catwoman3]

46. Is it worth it?

I generally try to avoid listening to him in the interest of a healthy blood pressure.

[rurallib]

53. I just watched a little of the youtube and had to laugh at how obvious it was he was reading

his delivery was stiff and mechanical (waving his fingers just so) and it looked like he was surprised by what he was saying in spots.

[Orsino]

35. More importantly, this may be the first time Trump hasn't *thought* he understood.

It shows.

[ashling]

36. How much Xanax did they have to give him?

[TygrBright]

40. He's giving a graphic demonstration of what happens when "they"...

... (as in, campaign professionals and RNC strategists) try to make him do something he doesn't want to do, like use a teleprompter.

Like a bratty kid demonstrating to Mom why it's a bad idea for her to tell them to clean up their room.

amusedly,
Bright

[enid602]

44. harsh

You guys are being entirely too harsh on the Donald. He's cute, like a teletubbie with yellow cotton candy on his head.

[randome]

48. Why would you jump to the completely unwarranted conclusion that it's Trump's fault?

Obviously Meredith McIver was running the teleprompter. She can't do anything right.
[hr][font color="blue"][center]Meredith McIver approves of this post.[/center][/font][hr]

[redstatebluegirl]

51. His people don't see it. They don't care!

[lindysalsagal]

59. "Apes don't read philosophy." "Yes, they do. They just don't understand it."
