Watching him struggle with a TelePrompTer, no way does he read well enough to read a newspaper.

He's a NYP type of guy; gossip, BS and not a damned thing reputable about him or it.

He doesn't read. If anything, someone reads it to him in short, highlighted snips.

She was the one who told him what people were saying, spinning it a positive as possible. Yes it was her job to read about HIM and tell him what was going on.

Unless it has to do with himself, trump has no interest in it.

If Kelly just tells him what he wants to hear, that's why he's so delusional and tone deaf.

No one wants to be on the receiving end of one of his tantrums.

I think I heard it on Morning Joe - I don't have quotes but seem to remember someone talking about it and Joe and Mika have appeared at times to either be issuing a challenge to him or trying to trigger him. I don't remember the issue, I'm thinking it was gun control, but Joe kept referring to the POTUS as impotent to do anything. He said it several times within a couple of minutes.
