Democrats will NOT fall for this. HE IS READING. A prepared speech. This is not him, he is not and has never been presidential, nothing has changed. I can't wait to see him in handcuffs.
-
Bro every speech ever read by a president has been prepared lol
-
Yeah, "bro" that's my point. He's reading, This isn't him. We already know who HE is. This is a speech written for him to make him seem like something he isn't. Let him wing it, you'd get the monster we all know.
-
Yeah, his predecessors NEVER did that

-
A lot of you people don't seem to get what I'm saying. We have SEEN who Trump is. THIS is NOT Trump. I get Republicans are pretty slow, simple people but at least try to keep up? When a speech is prepared we either get a president at their best or someone fake. This is fake.
-
I think what your trying to say is this whole "let's make everything seem normal" speech is ridiculous!
-
Exactly. We're not falling for it. He cannot just hide behind speech writers. We've already seen who he is.
