And all seems to be forgiven. He can read and do he's made his pivot, his reboot, and is now presidential material. First. It won't last. And second, those are pretty low expectations.

(5,725 posts)Trump doesn't like people (his handlers) in control of what he says and hates to be showcased as a trained seal.

I do lots of public speaking about a subject I know well, and I must say I am good at it. But only, and I mean only, when using an outline.
If you ask me to read a speech, it is out the window. I have tried it both live and in a studio. It took about 3 minutes before the producers told me to just do what I do.
I am not smart/quick/gifted enough to read a speech and make it sound authentic. Neither is Trump.
