Why does he always read like it's the first time he has ever seen the speech? and he has to turn his whole body when reading from one teleprompter to the other? I find the repeating of words, highly annoying too..
He's so vain, that whenever he is speaking outdoors, he has baseball cap pulled all the way down to stop his hair blowing in the wind..

(617 posts)What's really funny is when he lets on that he didn't write it either, by reacting to some tidbit he just read:
"50%, and I even think it's higher."
"Really? That's incredible...unbeliavable" ( in reaction to something he just read.
It's crazy.
Crowd also not very into it, especially the insincere "outreach" to minorities.

(58,698 posts)but it's not a natural thing to him. Normal politicians have been reading from them for years by the time they run for president. It's another thing he has to learn through on-the-job-training, like the nuclear triad, and how not to piss off all of our allies, and shit like that.

It is like some comedian doing an impression of some ill-prepared candidate readin his speech for the first time and it is in public.
Funny or Die could just snip out a couple of minutes, post it as a comedy bit and no one could tell it wasn't.

(6,385 posts)...he reads it like its the first time because it probably is the first time. Subtly, it's sending a message that someone else wrote this but now that I'm reading it - I want to correct them in public to let you know that I know much more off the top of my head than they do.
