Donald Trump reading a speech is more sickening than puking under the table at a state dinner. He reads like like a high schooler with a zit on his nose making a speech in front of class.

written for him by others will be proudly proclaimed as presidential by many who want an excuse to vote for him. He did okay. Let's hope this backfires on him over time, such as with his base.

"We did discuss the wall. We didn't discuss payment of the wall," Trump said.

I think we should also be prepared for a debate performance mainly composed of memorized statements prepared for him by others. Much of it will be cribbed from standard speeches that are already pretty much delivered by rote. All he has to do is get through it without slipping up by being himself.
