  1. My objection to Trump is not just that he is a blatant and relentless liar, but that he thinks he can get away with anything, while treating his audience like they are total idiots.

  2. From Commerce To Laboruhh—- “farts”….. It’s very subtle, but it’s there. He can now join his farting friend Rudy.

    Even though the teleprompters are visible, he’s probably right that he doesn’t actually use them because he can’t fucking read.

  4. Everybody uses teleprompters.

    Nobody really cares about this, but TFG and his ilk have some weird fixation on it.

    And also of course he lied about it because he is a lying liar who lies.

    He doesn’t use teleprompters in the way most people do. He uses them as an outline. Once he gets to something that gets his crowd excited he embellishes or lies depending on how big the crowd response is.

    The only person I feel even a little bad for in his entire campaign is the speech writers. Imagine going through life telling people those were your words.

    “The Party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command.”
    George Orwell, 1984

  7. How is this acceptable to today’s Republicans? I don’t understand how they can stand there and watch him read from a teleprompter telling them he doesn’t read from a teleprompter. How is this man claimed by Republicans? It’s hilarious.

    I had a conservative lawyer teacher for a politics class in college around 2010. It seemed like at least once a week he’d joke about Obama using a teleprompter. The guy must’ve thought it was hilarious. He wasn’t a bad guy perse, but he seemed like a lot to be around. I graduated that year but often wonder what his take on Trump would have been.

    When he doesn’t use teleprompters he is heads down and low energy as he ‘reads’ from prepared notes that he’s seen for the first time.

    You telling me the lying, cheating, fraudulent, s3xual predator told a lie?

    I’ll be damned

  11. The teleprompter was right in-front of him when he spewed this lie he really doesn’t care about lying and what’s worse is his cult does care or is to stupid to realize he’s just as full of it as his diaper or both stupid and don’t care

  12. What’s a bigger story? That a compulsive liar lies, or that 40% of voters will vote for him?

  13. If Trump wins I can’t wait for him to start a social media hate-war with our sports teams every day and then totally fuck our country with a flaccid response to another global crisis.

    He’s done that at every recent rally; I have listened to them all on C-SPAN. He always gets a positive response from the crowd, for reasons unknown to me, since we can all see the teleprompters. The only reason he says it is because he gets a response. If saying “Glibbety bawingo tiddly doo doo doo” got the same response, he’d say that instead; it doesn’t matter.

    My dad was watching that ‘speech’. How the fuck does anyone think Trump is an option? Trump lied, said the same shit over and over except now it’s Venezuelans instead of Haitians.

    Fuck, Fox News cut off when Trump kept saying ‘32,32,32’ and it was definitely on purpose.

    He does this REGULARLY, then calls out opponents for using them as if he doesn’t. Harris sidestepped this well with her recent appearances on tv shows.
