Tell-It-Like-It-Is Trump Becomes Teleprompter Donald

[Lakhota]

The GOP nominee is now using the machine he used to scorn, except really badly.

WASHINGTON ― Donald Trump has become what he has long mocked.

After a full year ridiculing his rival candidates for relying on a teleprompter and finding himself on a shorter leash from his new handlers, the Republican presidential nominee has fully embraced the tool. There is, of course, one key difference: He is bad at it.

“If you’re just going to be staring at a monitor and shouting and gesticulating, then what’s the point?” wondered Aileen Pincus, a public speaking consultant and teleprompter coach based in Washington. “It’s painful.”

Trump’s staff has for months realized that his tendency to wander off topic or unleash personal insults made any effort to deliver a serious address risky. So Trump has, beginning with his speech to a pro-Israel lobbying group in March, resorted to a teleprompter to get through important speeches.

But although the machine was designed to help public speakers appear more natural and maintain eye contact with their audience, it appears to have the opposite effect on Trump.

If you’re running for president, you should not be allowed to use a teleprompter.
--Donald Trump, August 2015​

I can't think of any issue that Trump hasn't flip-flopped on - including teleprompters.

Everyone knows he can speak extemporaneously without having a spastic stuttering fit or going silently frowny, like Barry and Hill.

The guys a two faced asshole. He says shit and turns around and does it.

Trump’s staff also needs to realize that his tendency to wander off topic or unleash personal insults renders him unfit to be president.

Hey Cupcake, Trump is not a professional politician and often speaks off the cuff which opens him up for non stop attacks by you LIbtards. The teleprompter helps him stay on topic. I guess he learned they aren't so bad after all.

Did he say sigh, instead of sighing? Like Hillary did? Obama off teleprompter sounds like a retarded person. You should look at your own candidates, before you criticize anyone else.
