So do you interpret it that way too?
Yes, most prez’s have speech writers. BUT he chose to go by what they wrote. He has his own mind, and could have done the right thing. Numerous presidents have modified speeches that have been written by others, they haven’t always taken the advice of their advisors.... They are ultimately in control. Any pointing of fingers of that one, isn’t defensible for me. (but I’m just a avg voter, who complains~what do I know.
