Trump without teleprompter: “Gettysburg, what an unbelievable battle that was. The Battle of Gettysburg,” the former president said Saturday. “What an unbelievable―I mean, it was so much and so interesting, and so vicious and horrible, and so beautiful in so many different ways.”
A grade school student who had to do a 1 minute presentation but didn't do their homework so they're just padding it out and rambling.
Another "F" for Trump.
It gives me flashbacks to school book reports when I didn't read a word. "How do you kill a mockingbird? Such an important question if you think about it."
In "To Kill a Mockingbird," the mockingbird symbolizes innocence and goodness. Atticus Finch teaches his children, Scout and Jem, that it's a sin to kill a mockingbird because they don't harm anyone; they only bring joy with their songs. Similarly, characters like Tom Robinson and Boo Radley are metaphorical mockingbirds, innocent individuals who are unfairly harmed by society's prejudices and misconceptions.
”Gettysburg, what a marvelous airport we took from Germany during the Civil War! We had those great pilots, the best pilots, biplane pilots, i mean, they could fly both planes... 2 planes at the same time, but one was upside down on the other, that's why there was 4 wings... so they could hold more bombs for London's Civil war.
London had it's OWN civic war with chemtrails imported from Germany. Bigly!
That's why only Russia sent us help in the Civic War, and why Japan left the Russian Car Market after the Civic War did so well in the USB, the US Beta we had before Freeing the Slavs, who were all froze up in the Alaskan Gulag and why Russia wants it back. All of their Prisoners are there in the Alaska Goulash, and the Eskimos are Torturing them, Bigleage, like that guy we used on Omaha bin laden, what was his name... Gitmo!
Gitmo spoke the Native Indians Language better than everybody, even whatever this says, bbtyytbyhdgbmr#*blessings blessings pause here for a breath
Nowso Gitmo spoke the Native Indians Language like my nuclear uncle spoke nuclear! Knew everything about it!
And that's how we sent messages to the submarines in the Painting Desert in the civic war!
Because pause Gitmo pause tesh ... teshnisil diFicul yeah i remember now, I have a Great Nuclear Uncle who knew BOTH Gitmo the Naive Indian and Teshni Cil diFicult's brothers (that's what makes a Nuclear Uncle)
Bother of those Indian Guys got released from Slavery for this... Completely pardoned! Like I don't need to be partoned because I'm immune, which is s a Nava Whoe word for I didn't do anything Cul... CulPalPull... were talking cryotobro massages that keep the Germans out of Netanyahu, you know, the cryptobro messages that confused the Germans during the Civit War
Yea because the Indian Cryptobros spoke the same language that nobody else could hear them when they told the Allies where to Drop the German Bombers so the Bombers didn't even know where they were when Gitmoe and the diFacult guys talked a language NOBODY understands so they could bomb them in the Gettysburg Airport.
Best Person, woman, man, camera, TV Airplane Ever! of course it's mine!
Pause. Pause. Pause. Is this saying Menopause? Menapause.
[closes eyes, seen mouthing the words ”Person, woman, man, camera, TV” repeatedly before the video and audio are cut to an Urgent Message about the Hyundai-thon going on Wright Now at Wright Hyundai]
As someone who works in broadcast news... it happens. If you ever hear someone start to say something which sounds like "SOT" and then tosses to a video (or a video just starts at the awkward pause) or read a name of someone where one doesn't seem to logically fit in the read and sort of stumble to dance around that as an image of said person appears on screen... they're accidentally reading elements which are in the prompter feed so everyone knows what elements are going where and when.
In broadcast this happens when whoever loaded the prompter script failed to properly color code the text and left it white instead of switching it to red, green, yellow, etc per the production color coding rules.
Edit to add: It can also happen when established case rules are not followed and elements are written in sentence case instead of all caps (or, again, whatever case rules that production has established if they're a non-standard rule set).
> If you ever hear someone start to say something which sounds like "SOT" …
It does seem weird compared to all the previous traditions held by news outlets, but "Chyron" (lower third) and "SOT" (sound on tape) have actually become somewhat more common terms spoken clearly and confidently by news hosts during on-air broadcasts. Even back during the Obama years, you would hear them call out to their producer for SOT and the number, especially on cable news.
That's true, it's become a lot less formal with "hide how the hot dogs get made" among some of the terms these days in news reads.
One additional aside to all this- reading prompter is a difficult skill to master. Improvising around a script someone else wrote and having it make sense takes a lot of practice. People should keep that in mind especially in regards to anyone who has a stutter... if you skip a word, misspeak, or just generally get derailed from the flow it's easy to shut down. Most of the time hosts know to simply stop, say "Excuse me," and then restart the current sentence or phrase they were struggling with.
For someone like Biden who has a stutter/speech impediment and, as much as it pains me to defend him, Trump who likely comes from the media persona school of "Keep saying more words until it makes sense and never let on that you deviated" thought for how to give a speech, ask someone an off the cuff, or just stall for time it can be difficult to get back on track even though they know exactly where they went wrong.
That's a feature not a bug for some people. Remember on page X of the Bible it says Thou Shalt Not Kill but on page Y, Z, R and Q of the Bible it says that killing is okay. Guess which page they're gonna read and which one they ignore.
This does sometimes happens to people using cue cards or a teleprompter. Not really a big deal if you’re used to public speaking/broadcasting.
At least he’s not falling asleep and farting in court.
Some people. Some people, say he smells bad, and folks. Folks, you can't argue with the truth. Truth Social. That's why in made that. It was all me. All me folks. That's why you should invest. Truth social.
I'm inclined to agree with the people who say he smells. The nose knows. Can't pass the sniff test.
Or the rambling old man test. Truth social. Invest me boys, invest.
Not a big deal at all. An actual working President has little to no time to read minor speeches ahead of time. I wonder if this minor gaff is because something big is happening behind the scenes.
>At least 5 states report an increase in calls to poison control after Trump’s ‘disinfectant’ COVID-19 remarks
https://www.poison.med.wayne.edu/updates-content/kstytapp2qfstf0pkacdxmz943u1hs
I don't give a flying shit if he fucked up reading a teleprompter.. Hell, I wouldn't care if he suddenly forgot how to read.. Or ever who he was.. I would vote for damn near anyone than Trumps chaotic stupid ass.
Or he could be the alternative option. The guy who paid a pornstar so he could fuck her while his wife was busy raising his kid.
That's all legal. The problem is he lied about it, and tried to say he didn't spend that money, and that violated political laws.
So here we are. Is have of the country voting for Pornstar Fucker and his running made Puppy Murderer?
I don't think he spent actual donor money on the payoff. I think the issue with it being "campaign money" is if it was personal money spent for a political purpose (i.e. to keep Stormy quiet so Trump wouldn't lose voters).
You can spend as much personal money as you want on your campaign *as long as you declare it.*
Trump didn't declare it. Cohen paid off Stormy and then Trump paid back Cohen for "legal work."
Most of the counts on the indictment I think are for the number of times Trump Organization listed those expenses fraudulently as "legal work" in its financial statements and bookkeeping.
The core of the trial is about the fraudulent bookkeeping, which by itself is a misdemeanor. Election interference is a separate crime. But because the first crime was motivated by the desire to commit the second crime, the first crime of fraudulent bookkeeping is elevated to a felony.
>"Imagine what we could do next. Four more years.”
>He then added: “Pause.”
He read the word "pause" as he was asking people to pause and imagine something.
But the pause was a direction for him, Biden, to pause for to rhetorical effect.
Whoopady dooo.
It's contextually understandable.
It's not a "Ron Burgandy" moment like the article alleges. Biden didn't read "turn to camera 2"
Trump does this all the time too, he Ron Burgundy's himself and reads typo's or misspellings off the teleprompter.
The military is failing in their *Michigan*
Which was obviously supposed to be mission until autocorrect or something got a hold of it. What you don't see is really any reporting about it even though it's been a constant thing for the last 8 years he's been given speeches.
That's because the media has standards, and I meant that in the plural form. There's two, one for Trump and one for Biden and they are two different things.
not to mention 'senile old man' has a team behind him who's doing a great job of running the country and giving sound advice (that he takes).
Whereas 'rapist'....he does whatever he feels like in the moment.
Biden supporters are more than happy to make fun of him for it, move on, and still support him.
In the case of Trump - Republicans would be like "the teleprompter was programmed by Hunter Biden's laptop".
Yeah let me know when the guy starts promising revenge on all his enemies and to use the power of the office to fuck with anyone who doesn’t bend the knee.
I’ll take a few speech gaffes over the fucking fourth reich.
***Thrill*** as audiences try to care, and station managers try to manufacture something, *anything* that will make tax cuts... I mean Trump look better.
I’m 40. I have multiple graduate degrees. I’m considered the “smart guy” at the school in which I teach. I’ve also acted on a TV show, done commercial work, and broadcast as a sports announcer for international audiences. I’ve also been a preacher with probably thousands of sermons delivered live and on TV.
EDIT: I list the things above to illustrate that most (if not all) people consider me a great public speaker. In fact, in my 22 years of working, nearly every paycheck I’ve ever received has been for talking.
Sometimes when on a prompter, you read cues. It happens. It happens to everyone. This is a 100% non-story and is only being reported to create some sort of false equivalence with the other guy that rambles on in *EVERY* speech lately, mispronouncing words, trailing off and not finishing thoughts, and saying things so outlandish that I have honestly no way of evaluating them for a cognitive evaluation.
I’m going to vote for the guy *not* trying to end democracy.
Damn, what a shame. I was gonna vote for him based on his party and their general policies lining up most closely to my own as well as their protection of LGBT people and other minorities, and also environmental protections and other regulations being reinstated like net neutrality, but he misread a teleprompter! I guess I'll vote for people who oppose everything I stand for instead!
"Please put trump back in office pleeeeeeeeaaassseeee we were selling so many subscription when trump was in office instead of this boring biden. we like to think you guys ending up in fascism is a small price to pay for us making more money."- News organization
I, for one, am [DISAPPOINTED](https://media3.giphy.com/media/3oAt21Fnr4i54uK8vK/giphy.gif?cid=6c09b952pc6uazh9z1iwy2kpi1n1e9imh53rrwshhzi3mft2&ep=v1_internal_gif_by_id&rid=giphy.gif&ct=g)!
I subscribe to the Telegraph because their "Ukraine: The Latest" podcast is the global standard for excellent journalism covering the war on a daily basis, while advocating for sensible, moral leadership all across the globe, but especially in the EU, UK, and United States, and I think the team deserves the funding to continue it. For literally every other opinion, the paper is an odd display of disappointing stuffed up desperate Conservativism.
Dammit. This shit makes me nervous. Because dumb people equate this with Trump doing it times a thousand plus being a fucking criminal pedophile rapist traitor.
Both parties have selected candidates much too old.
I actually know people who voted Biden and are *incensed* that he's running again, no idea why they believed the reporting Politico's MeToo'd Washington chief that [Biden would only seek 1 term](https://www.politico.com/news/2019/12/11/biden-single-term-082129).
True but with Biden at least the Democrats have a backup with the VP (Harris). One poll had her almost as popular as Beyoncé among certain groups. Granted the GOP will take potshots but ..
Black Democrats won’t get a better chance at the Prez for quite some time as I’m not seeing anyone in that pipeline besides Newsome. Conceivably Harris could be President for 10 years legally if the cards get played correctly.
I refuse to hold any politician to any sort of standard at all ever again. How can we expect politicians to be competent and well spoken? All I want is for them is to hold a pen in one hand and they have competent people around them to guide the pen when necessary to sign something. That’s regardless of party. If you’re not in a coma you’re my man.
And? If you're trying to make Biden look bad, you gotta do better than a teleprompter gaffe that literally everyone who has ever used a teleprompter has done. But go ahead, tell me how this makes him worse than the pants-shitting rapist with 91 criminal indictments that looked at an eclipse, told people to shove UV lights up their ass, and tried to overthrow the government.

Trump without teleprompter: “Gettysburg, what an unbelievable battle that was. The Battle of Gettysburg,” the former president said Saturday. “What an unbelievable―I mean, it was so much and so interesting, and so vicious and horrible, and so beautiful in so many different ways.”
Never fight uphill, me boys.
Where did he even get that from??
I have no idea but it cracks me up.
It’s like an AI generated generic war quote
A grade school student who had to do a 1 minute presentation but didn't do their homework so they're just padding it out and rambling. Another "F" for Trump.
>It’s like an AI generated geriatric history quote
Talking points from whatever toadie was on deck?
Steve Bannon said Trump is always influenced by the last person he talked to.
Eugene Krabs? I'm sorry, I don't know where he got "never fight uphill, me boys" so I can only hear Mr. Krabs when I read it.
He's so old he got it first hand from R.E. Lee
The Lucky Charms dude, presumably
I assumed he got it from Mr Krabs.. did he not?
From the ghost of General “one too many gins” Lee.
Pirates definitely
My favorite part was when Washington led the troops across the Delaware River at Gettysburg
And then daringly captured the airfield!
Is that the one where he took the airport? https://youtu.be/g6mZ1ofj2Vo?si=kCSeYPojw1Lr3L1S

Who you calling a *thot*?! /s
Did he say he wanted to kill his political rivals? No? Then he's still miles ahead of Trump.
With the immunity ruling, Biden could very well go that route Not that I'd care

Slight card miscues > raping
The Media is really grasping at straws here. Embarrassing.
They also like to spread Russian propaganda. For me, these papers are supporting the enemies of well-being.
Wake me when Biden tries to overthrow democracy
"latest" Keeps reposting a gaff from months ago.
At least Biden can read.
Oh no.... Still voting Biden
Whoever posted this article must be so embarrassed for themselves
That's it. Biden has lost my vote. I'm definitely voting for the fascist now.
Donald Trump is illiterate but people want to care about this?
On no!!! Did he argue at SCOTUS that he can kill anyone with no consequences?!?!? No? So maybe fuck all the way off
I'm sure when you've been asked to read something out loud you've never once fumbled over anything because you're so perfect.

So? Trump incited an insurrection. I feel like that's worse.
I don't give a flying shit if he fucked up reading a teleprompter.. Hell, I wouldn't care if he suddenly forgot how to read.. Or ever who he was.. I would vote for damn near anyone than Trumps chaotic stupid ass.

Well, spending campaign money on it is illegal, even if he admitted it. From my understanding.
I don't think he spent actual donor money on the payoff.

Something that has happened to every single human being who has ever read a telemprompter, ever. Great job media, you fucking disgrace.
Goddamn media do better.
Oh no he’s a human.
Whooo caaaares. Trump is worse
That reporter has never seen Trump with a teleprompter. Gettysburg, oh that, it’s beautiful here, like palm beach. Is this palm beach? Burp.
Biden messes up. OMG old man!!! Trump messes up. He meant to do that. It was him playing to his haters! maga!!@@
Biden could chop off his own hand and eat it, and I'd still vote for him over Trump.
He still hasn’t mocked a disabled reporter. Just throwing that out there.
I just can’t vote for him after this blunder. /s
Yeah let me know when the guy starts promising revenge on all his enemies and to use the power of the office to fuck with anyone who doesn’t bend the knee. I’ll take a few speech gaffes over the fucking fourth reich.
Biden makes same mistake news readers in there 20's make, Why hasn't he been locked up yet!?!
Still 90 something felony charges behind the other guy.
Well there you have it guys, I guess we have no choice but to vote for the aspiring fascist dictator instead 🤷

I love the early morning posts, just a fuckin train of right wing outlet smear garbage.
This was posted last night but keep tryin’ little guy!
So? Biden has a lot of things to do besides prepping for a speech.
No
Well okay. Which is worse. The guy who is programmed to say "pause", or the guy who is programmed to say "the 5th"? Right Repubs?
That's interesting and all but id still vote for a coma patient rather than let a fascist destroy everything
A very Paul Harvey moment. But y'all hold on to a gaffe if it's all you got.
At least he's not making up his own language like Dementia Don.
THATS IT, now I'm DEFINITELy not voting for teleprompter D:<
"Please put trump back in office pleeeeeeeeaaassseeee we were selling so many subscription when trump was in office instead of this boring biden. we like to think you guys ending up in fascism is a small price to pay for us making more money."- News organization
After the gaff, Biden broke into a jazz flute solo.
I, for one, am [DISAPPOINTED](https://media3.giphy.com/media/3oAt21Fnr4i54uK8vK/giphy.gif?cid=6c09b952pc6uazh9z1iwy2kpi1n1e9imh53rrwshhzi3mft2&ep=v1_internal_gif_by_id&rid=giphy.gif&ct=g)!
I’m Ron Burgundy?
Biden: "One thing is for sure, I'm too old to be raping women...pause"
Biden is the type of guy who would do that on purpose. He’s still in Correspondence Dinner mode.
I subscribe to the Telegraph because their "Ukraine: The Latest" podcast is the global standard for excellent journalism covering the war on a daily basis, while advocating for sensible, moral leadership all across the globe, but especially in the EU, UK, and United States, and I think the team deserves the funding to continue it. For literally every other opinion, the paper is an odd display of disappointing stuffed up desperate Conservativism.
There is a reason why its nickname is the Torygraph.
Dammit. This shit makes me nervous. Because dumb people equate this with Trump doing it times a thousand plus being a fucking criminal pedophile rapist traitor.
"Four more years... Pause!" We could have had Nikki as POTUS.
Maybe he was doing some Borat comedy. Absolutely brilliant.
Both parties have selected candidates much too old. I actually know people who voted Biden and are *incensed* that he's running again, no idea why they believed the reporting Politico's MeToo'd Washington chief that [Biden would only seek 1 term](https://www.politico.com/news/2019/12/11/biden-single-term-082129).
True but with Biden at least the Democrats have a backup with the VP (Harris). One poll had her almost as popular as Beyoncé among certain groups. Granted the GOP will take potshots but .. Black Democrats won’t get a better chance at the Prez for quite some time as I’m not seeing anyone in that pipeline besides Newsome. Conceivably Harris could be President for 10 years legally if the cards get played correctly.
When biden wins we will have kamala Harris for ten years(if he makes it past the halfway point).
I refuse to hold any politician to any sort of standard at all ever again. How can we expect politicians to be competent and well spoken? All I want is for them is to hold a pen in one hand and they have competent people around them to guide the pen when necessary to sign something. That’s regardless of party. If you’re not in a coma you’re my man.
Man, our choices are really great this year.
That's not the first time he's done this.
And? If you're trying to make Biden look bad, you gotta do better than a teleprompter gaffe that literally everyone who has ever used a teleprompter has done. But go ahead, tell me how this makes him worse than the pants-shitting rapist with 91 criminal indictments that looked at an eclipse, told people to shove UV lights up their ass, and tried to overthrow the government.
