[Demovictory9]

2. lol... yeah

[Phoenix61]

3. All those mask less people sitting shoulder

to shoulder yelling are going to wish they hadn’t done that. Sadly, they will carry the virus back home.

4. Or Ulysses, or Jefferson, or anything with more than two syllables in general...

And that might be generous by a syllable, or sometimes more.

[Demovictory9]

5. or "tirelessly".... he pronounced it "tirrushy"

6. "Wisdom, philosophy, and reason"?...

Some speechwriter actually wrote that for him.

[rockfordfile]

7. his followers get it

[lame54]

8. To-tally-terri-tism

[lunatica]

9. You know it was written in phonetics right?

I’ve figured that from the beginning whenever he reads what someone else wrote. He isn’t very good with phonetics.

10. It's because he's semi-literate

and likely has a learning disability of some sort.

17. I caught one White House televised scene that must have slipped in

by accident where you could see his teleprompter. Usually the teleprompters are between the speaker and the audience but this one was behind the audience. The words were huge so he could see them. They were so large that very few words were on it at a time, so he had no idea what was coming because evidently he never reads the speech beforehand. That’s why he has the awkward pauses and the phonetic thing going. He literally reads one word at a time and they are always written by someone else who has a better vocabulary than he does.

You would think that after three and a half years they would have ironed out the awkward kinks for him wouldn’t you?

11. I think he should dedicate the first Garden of Heroes statue to Rutherford B. Hayes

I want to hear him pronounce Rutherford.

Hayes did lead Union troops in the civil war.

12. One more time. That was inevitable.

13. He really didn't sound very well. Sore throat? Fever?

He got strong a few times, but for the most part, the lies just wouldn't come out the way he wanted them to.

14. He's horrible with teleprompters

I believe this was an official WH event, not campaign, so he has to stay on script. Then, he's outdoors.

15. 45* needs the phonics monkey

from that one South Park episode.

Trump's is sweaty, jerky & slurry. His skin is glazed. His words are mangled. He can't enunciate
"Totatitariatism"
"U-lyss-i-us S Grant"
"Grandger"
"Terinized"
A new level of weakness in his voice stands out. He can't deliver the angry speech. This is part of his dementia decline

[lunatica]

18. Plus it's windy

That drives him nuts.

[Demovictory9]

20. yeah, he was a hot mess

[JHB]

19. noticed the little squint and lean-in as he tried to decipher the word...

...on his teleprompter
