Is it? Possibly, but I would want to compare him reading a speech off pre-prepared remarks from years ago. I, as a somewhat intelligent person, and a lot of confidence, cannot read out loud from reading a piece of paper. I slur and stumble over my words. Some of it is a stunted skill. When I couldn't give speeches well in grade school, I never tried to get better. Therefore I never learned to get better when if I tried harder, I probably would've been more passable.

I do have a decent memory and am much better speaking off the cuff. So if I remember my talking points, I can give more confidently give a speech with a few or no bullet points. My guess is Trump is somewhat the same. Never needed to read speeches, and instead spoke off the cuff, but in a more bullying way. But now, trying to read prepared remarks, I feel like that's when he makes a lot of his gaffes. But it also could be cognitive as well.

the best (and scariest) part, is that he “speaks his mind” and that’s why some support him

It is nearly impossible to watch the whole thing, but here he is speaking his mind.

Because that is what this country needs right now, a failed fraud of a businessman speaking his mind.

I wonder if Jerry Falwell Jr had his pants zipped up or down while watching this?

I would like CNN a lot more if they quit with the name calling. No reason to stoop to trump's level.

LOL

Is it a speech impediment issue? More like a basic reading comprehension one.

It's called "he has never seen that word before and has no idea what 'Yosemite' even is".

He doesn't read anything. He has no knowledge of things that he does not benefit from personally. He doesn't watch TV that isn't about him. He is fundamentally ignorant.

Now that he has declared Florida's mail-in voting "great", people should triple check all mail-in votes in Florida to ensure Trump has not tampered with it.

but that’s not a speech impediment

it’s ignorance mixed with a lack of reading skills

I swear, his own idiocy will either kill us all, or save us all.

Not wise to give Roberts prima facie evidence of bad faith.

Raises hand.

It says "you're just like me?"

Not sure, should I be saying/thinking good for Facebook?

Honestly, does anyone think that Trump gives a shit about COVID? He seems to see it is a way to rid the country of a bunch of dirty, poor people and there is nothing Trump hates more than dirty, poor people.

No he doesnt imo. That is dumb and over the top. Although he does hate dirty poor people imo.

I dont know what he thinks about it truly. But what he says about it is totally stupid. He definitely mainly thinks about it in relation to the economy and his voting base and tries to say what he thinks they want to hear.

He is an idiot.

I honestly do not believe he possesses the capacity now (if he ever did) to understand math as complex as exponential growth, R0, etc.

Which is, of course, like 10th grade math.

The really amazing thing is:

1. We're a day after Susan Rice's testimony and it's already completely forgotten.
2. Trump had his Twitter account locked until he deletes a factually incorrect COVID statement - he clearly doesn't care or has no idea how serious this pandemic is.
3. Geraldo Rivera called Trump a "civil rights activist."

He is an idiot.

So provide to me an explanation as to why his only concern about COVID is that it is screwing up his chances at reelection and seems not to give a flying fuck about who it impacts? He doesn't care if poor people die. I believe "yes, people are dying; it is what it is" was his quote that sums it up perfectly. He has no use for blacks or hispanics because he sees them as mostly poor. And he doesn't give a shit about poor white people, either.

He's not just an idiot; he's an idiot who we elected President.
