The 'whom' should be looked at closely because the 'whom' and 'whomevers' has seen what a disaster those speeches are like and still keeps recommending he stay the course.
Whomever has advised Trump to continue this charade should not be just moved to another position within his campaign but fired immediately.
Why do you think the media anchors and people as Carl Rove have stated that NOW Trump is doing the right thing when using teleprompters to 'stay on point and stay focused'? Well, it's not to give him kudos and a big congratulatory slap on the back but that they are, behind his back, smirking at him for being clueless of their agenda.
A Fox News Bimbette just yesterday was quizzing Trump about the upcoming debates with Clinton, 'Well Mr. Trump, how well do you think you will do at the debates without a teleprompter'?
This is starting to spread throughout the Fox Network and other networks who you can expect this kind of devious undermining but we all know that the Fox Network is 'fair and balanced'....right? Just watch when they mention Trump and teleprompters in the same sentence and you'll see they attach a little smirk or smile as an act to ridicule and demean him.
And that is just the opening salvo to ridicule Trump and is only going to continue and build if Trump doesn't take back full control of his campaign and go back to the powerful agenda and speeches that got him where is today.
As always, just my opinion.
I didn’t notice TRUMP was using a teleprompter. I was listening to his powerful message.
It’s too close to election time for any more major off-the-cuff gaffes. The teleprompter’s time has come.
I’m sure his “professional” consultants have strongly recommended that Trump use a teleprompter so that he remains on message and minimizes the use of off-the-cuff remarks that get blown into death threats.
Even when he is reading a teleprompter he still interjects off-the-cuff remarks that are less than advantageous at times. You can tell when you listen to his speech and compare it to the released speech. It is word for word, except for an interjection here or there, and those are usually the ones that are used to make trouble. (”Or maybe you second amendment people could do something, I don’t know.”)
Hillary sucks whether she uses a teleprompter or not.
I'm sure Trump won't be using a teleprompter all the time, but on select occasions, it will be fine...
Vote Trump!
Frankly, I’m sick of “concern” posts. “Good at it” and “charades” are a matter of perspective.
The issue of whether Trump could be weaned from the Teleprompter has already been shown and we all know it. He can speak for hours extemporaneously without the blubbering bullshit false-speak and blathering of an Obama “off teleprompter.” There isn’t any arguing about this.
So to be so “concerned” about how Trump as a candidate isn’t lickspittle polished as the “One” on his teleprompter game is highly disingenuous. Trump was specifically targeted for his extemporaneous ability and everybody and his damn brother in media said “we want substance, clear message and the meaning of life and everything.” Trump gives it to them, yet some “concern ninnies” still aren’t satisfied.
I’m just not buying this crap - not a bit.
I don’t think that the fact that Trump can use a teleprompter is a big deal. More importantly, he can speak coherently without one, unlike Ombama
Based on recent postings, it’s clear FR needs a new permanent category “PEOPLE WHO THINK THEY ARE SMARTER THAN TRUMP”
How about just leaving these details to the pros? If it works, that’s all that matters. If not, we’ll have much bigger things to bitch about.
The problem with Obama and the teleprompter is that he can ONLY perform well if he’s reading from one. Answering tough questions, or giving off-the-cuff remarks, are far from his strong suit. Oh, and of course there are the occasional “corpse man” gaffes.
WRT Trump, he’s better at off-the-cuff, better at the rough and tumble of a Q & A session. Sticking to a prepared speech is not HIS strong suit. But sometimes you need to do that.
I have no problem with the occasional use of a teleprompter - for major speeches. I don’t like to see someone talking to me while looking down, I want to be looked at in the eye. A teleprompter helps with that, a lot. I do, however, have a problem with someone using one ALL THE TIME, to the exclusion of any kind of normal, human interaction. The person doing that looks and sounds too much like a puppet on strings, no matter how well they deliver a speech (and O is VERY good at that - not much else, mind you, but he’s really good at delivering prepared speeches).
He only uses a teleprompter when he is delivering a major policy address. Perfectly normal and understandable as he needs to ensure he states the exact point and is not misquoted.
Zero is no master of the teleprompter. One can tell very easily when he goes off script. Every other word is “Uh.”
You should really try and find an issue.
I think when Trump is making a major policy speech, he should using a teleprompter and alter his delivery...just as he did in his last two speeches. When he's holding a campaign rally he can just let it fly, he's a master at that as well.
Help me understand this. Trump gives one of the finest speeches I have ever heard and you are worried / upset he used a Teleprompter? REALLY?
When you are providing red meat at rallies, speaking in generalities that can be clarified later, “off the cuff” is fine for a man like Trump who is skilled at it, in his own way.
When giving detailed positions on foreign policy issues, and a misplaced diphthong can cause an international incident, it reflects well on Trump that he plays it safer and uses the teleprompter or written notes.
I agree with the use of the teleprompter when delivering the details of a specific plan. That is what happened last night and the day before. IOW, it is necessary to hit all the points and accurately deliver the information.
Beyond those type of events, Trump will be his free-wheeling self.
If I were to deliver a written policy, I would provide a formal, final completed version.
I wouldn’t deliver a hand written initial draft on notebook paper.
You are wrong. He is very good at it and getting better.
His last two policy speeches have used teleprompter and have been excellent at keeping him focused, describes the problem, gives solutions and looks presidential. Since starting this his poll numbers have been going up. This will win him the election.
You need to concentrate on the content of his message. His message is on point and will be a home run to the American people. Don’t get caught up in the delivery. He does not need to be yelling at the top of his voice all the time like a rally. This shows a the disciplined side of him to the people.
Yes Virginia, stupid questions do exist.
I think that all his primary campaign speeches and rallies were delivered extemporaneously. All that time attracting larger and larger crowds. He's had many press conferences.
I didn't see the interview but how could someone possibly posit that Trump needs the teleprompter in a debate.
GEESH!
Trump should decide what his main goal is, then use the type of speech that best achieves that goal,
Would you feel better if he read his prepared speech from a piece of paper on the podium in front of him? Didn’t think so.
The only difference is the teleprompter lets him look up instead of down. For a major speech, I have no problem with it. And I doubt we will ever see a teleprompter set up so Donald can talk to a second-grade class. (Anyone else remember that?)
Trump has been criticized for making gaffes by talking off the cuff, and now he is being criticized for using a teleprompter to avoid such gaffes.
You can’t please everybody. /facepalm
