Trump Uses A Teleprompter While Mocking Biden For Using A Teleprompter

President Donald Trump took a shot at his Democratic rival, Joe Biden, on Thursday night that visibly fell apart in yet another instance of Trump struggling to paint himself as more mentally capable than Biden.

To be fair, imPotus doesn’t “use” a teleprompter in the traditional sense of reminding the speaker of his/her next line. Instead they function as a phoneme symbol list transmission device.

Chiselin’ Trump mocks Joe Biden for having diminished mental capacity while having diminished mental capacity.

I am still waiting for trump to surprise me. Maybe his obviousness and predictability are what bother me most. Nah, one can be obvious and predictable without being a flaming asshole. It’s definitely his assholery.

It would be easy to call Toadglans a blithering idiot but that would be so unfair to blithering idiots everywhere to make such a disparaging comparison.

Joe wasn’t using a teleprompter at his CNN town hall yesterday. Seemed quite cogent. Good delivery. Went off on a tangent a few times, but don’t we all?

Also.

Biden FAILED BADLY with the Swine Flu. It was the Gang That Couldn’t Shoot Straight”. He didn’t have a clue. We have done an incredible job with the much tougher China Virus!

He and his campaign team often post videos on social media mocking Biden’s speech as slow and confused, and Trump has insisted that the Democratic candidate is “not all there.”

Projection?

Yes. Projection!

Using a Teleprompter makes me think better of Donnie’s cognition.
Because I’m not sure he can read.

For his next act, he will mock Biden’s ghastly, flame-retardant orange coiffure that doesn’t seem to be produced from any elements spewed out or resulting from the Big Bang.

Biden is his own fact checker by simply speaking and answering questions. He really has the Trumpers flummoxed.

I would so enjoy Biden challenging Trump to an IQ test. Maybe they could take the Wonderlic test given to NFL draft candidates. Something along the lines of “Why don’t we do an IQ test prior to the next debate, along with that drug test that both of us will do?”

Of course it will never come to pass, but I would looooovvee to see numnuts’ score on the Wonderlic. If told it is the test football players take, maybe he’ll bite??

I guess the actual debate(s) will have to be his IQ test. I guess that will work.

But the thing is, Trump discovered long ago that a lot of people will believe even an absurd, obvious lie. Most normal people are loath to say something derogatory about someone else that’s obviously true of themselves. But Trump isn’t normal and doesn’t know or care how stupid he sounds to us. He could stand on that dais and say Biden colors his hair a weird color and styles it a weird way and uses a weird-colored bronzer and a pretty sizable chunk of his crowd would be telling interviewers that for months to come. Katy Tur interviewed 20 Trump supporters in Staten Island recently and they all said Biden’s a pawn of this or that perceived lefty figure.

As I recall, Republicans used to accuse President Obama as a teleprompter dependent President also. As if he were incapable of delivering his trademark soaring oratory through sheer brilliance. They must think they’re making Democratic candidates look weak to voters with these smears.

Ya’ know, I was just thinking of a time the other day, when i was a little kid growing up on the prairie, back on the farm, walking back and forth to school up that mountain, both ways, minus-20 Fahrenheit, holding onto that hot baked potato to keep my fingers from falling off, there was this bully who’d be waiting for me and my friends every day. He’d be waiting behind the giant redwood for us, right in the middle of that yuge dark forest…

Sorry. (ahem) You were sayin’?
