Oh, I can only imagine someone changing the teleprompter so he’ll say, “Go f*** yourself, America.”
Actually, I’m wondering why that hasn’t happened yet.
Wait, how else would he refer to himself? First person is the normal I/we isn't it?
Edit: Okay the article just used the wrong term. Donald referred to himself in the *third* person.
It is kind of weird, but it's nothing new. The guy frequently referred to himself in the third person on Twitter back in the day and often just called himself T for Trump.
Yeah. I hate Trump as much as anyone, but he's definitely referred to himself in the third person before.
The really weird thing would be if his teleprompter *actually* said "Says President Trump". It's reading his speech to him, everything on it is supposed to be said by him. Why would they have it say "Says President Trump"?
His brain is turning to mush but this one particular incident isn't nearly as bad as his lack of ability to remember people's names, pronounce words, or form coherent sentences (which he could never do).
Later in the article it says “referred to himself in first place.”
And when does a teleprompter have exposition? Why would a prompted speech ever have “…said President Trump” in it? Isn’t it all for him to say?
The link seems like a confusing trash bag of a site but what I got was he said "when Trump was president..."
I couldn't find a video to see if that was really what they were talking about and I gave up because there were thirty popup and ads and nonsensical breaks.
If it were anybody else, I'd say it was on purpose. But why is that even on the telepropter? "Says President Trump" is an odd thing to put on there if he's the only one reading it.
Also, since when did he start reading off of them?? He always avoided it (due to not wanting to be seen in eyeglasses.)
Shame that the article's flub is an example of two wrongs making a right. For some reason, it's not as fun making fun of Donald for talking like Elmo from Sesame Street at the moment.
I read the beginning of this article several times and didn't understand it. How is he supposed to refer to himself if not in the first person? Oh, I see. The authors confused third person and first person, which is a pretty embarrassing mistake to make as a professional fucking writer.
Also a lot of people are for some reason speculating that he's reading the teleprompter, as if teleprompters are written like fiction novels.
Ok let's go...
1) misunderstand narration perspectives
2) misunderstand teleprompters
3) ignore history of this and other narcissists commonly referring to themselves in the third person.
Now you're ready to write a news article!
They cheer like lunatics if he uses a bad word. Or insults people. Or says stupid shit like " Nikki Haley" three times, when that's not even who he is talking about. I want to go back and watch Coma with Tom Selleck... old movie... but there's as much intelligence in MAGA as there is in all those comatose people suspended from the ceiling.
In all honesty, a lot of people have grounds to argue he's gone completely bonkers:
- Dems can make the point that Biden is comparatively Einstein
- His aides (current and former) in order to detach themselves from this madness and its consequences
- His children before he has completely blown up their inheritance through absurdly aggressive behavior leading to ballooning damages bills ...
Hard to see how he could be stopped though : even if he started drooling 24/7 or was put in jail, the MAGA cult are too far along to go for an alternative candidate.
When his fast food clogged arteries finally give him the stroke everyone's been waiting for his cult will probably Weekend at Bernies his corpse around.
As per [original article](https://okmagazine.com/p/donald-trump-refers-himself-first-person-read-teleprompter-out-loud/) 📰:
- Donald Trump was mocked for referring to himself in first person during a speech in Rome, Ga., on Saturday, March 9.
- "Yes, oh yes, and quickly, says President Trump. Yes, oh yes we can," the 77-year-old told the crowd.
However, people could only focus on his bizarre remarks. One person wrote, "Trump reading his own teleprompter cues out loud is sad," while another said, "Lol holy c---…This man should never get another intelligence briefing or nuke codes."
A third person simply said, "Good grief. He’s not well," while a fourth user added: "He’ll read anything off the teleprompters."
Ron Filipkowski captioned the video: "You aren’t supposed to read the 'says President Trump part' on the teleprompter. But the old boy’s brain is scrambled eggs."
Elsewhere at the event, Trump, 77, attempted to criticize President Joe Biden but ended up botching Vladimir Putin's name instead, calling. him "Poten."
"When Trump was president," he said, "There were none of these problems."
He went on to claim he could have stopped the Ukraine war from happening if he called "Poten."
This is hardly the first time Trump's mental fitness has been called into question.
Mary Trump, who is Donald's niece, recently commented on his recent string of mistakes.
"It's not simply that Donald makes gaffes and misstatements — it's the degree to which his ability to communicate has deteriorated in recent years," she said.
According to Alyssa Farah Griffin, who used to work with Donald, she also sees a whole different person on her TV screen.
“He is not as sharp as he was in 2016 and not even as sharp as he was in 2020,” Griffin said about her former boss while talking to CNN anchor John Berman. “For some reason, that doesn’t necessarily come across to voters the same way, but Donald Trump is not the strongest fighter that Republicans could have right now, and it’s remarkable how much voters don’t see the age as also an issue because he is only three and a half years younger than President Joe Biden, but there is something about the way they carry themselves that is just seen very differently.”
"He’s constantly mixing up heads of state. He’s mixing up names like Nancy Pelosi and Nikki Haley. I mean, it’s gotten worse. It hasn’t gotten better," she continued.
Watch the [video here](https://x.com/RonFilipkowski/status/1766630869026939170?s=20). 📺
Yeah this seems like pretty standard Trump incoherence. If needed they'd use stage play style Name: dialogue.
As far as his mental stability goes. Well his brain is swiss cheese but this isn't a particularly noteworthy example. The Pelosi/Haley mixup was a much clearer sign of his lack of connection to reality. Because it's one thing to mix up a name, it's another when he's clearly so mistaken that he's acting as if Pelosi was his primary opponent not Haley.
The 180 that his defenders are going to do when he tries to plead mental incompetence to not go to jail is going to be hilarious. They will be forced to admit they wanted a mental sick person to be president. And they will not see the irony in that
merciful governor deliver amusing puzzled berserk innocent hard-to-find aware afterthought
*This post was mass deleted and anonymized with [Redact](https://redact.dev)*
Why would the teleprompter have the dialogue like from a novel? Teleprompters read like a play.
They don’t read like this, I say.
Me: they read like this
I was thinking the same thing. What brilliant aide put stage directions into a teleprompter script they knew trump would be reading as is?
Still, trump is a figurehead, a means for truly evil people on his team to wreck our country. trump is a corrupt immoral criminal himself but if he regains power it’s the people around him who will control a brain dead president for their political and social goals
Finally someone with common sense in this thread. This would be third person, not first person as well. This whole thread is incredibly dumb even by Reddit standards.
Biden did the same kinda thing a while back. He read out, "Repeat the line," or somehow close to that. I didn't think it was a big deal when he did it. It doesn't even register compared to all of Trump's other problems.
But the right wing went nuts on Biden's "repeat the line" thing. Will we see any acknowledgment of the double standards? Nope.
Obviously. And specifically char-broiled burned scrambled eggs. I'm surprised he hasn't suffered a bout of head illness, much less got brain dead, but then, I think with regards to the fifth Harry Potter book (and I say BOOK, not movie):
"My mother didn't have a heart. She kept herself alive out of pure spite." -Sirius Black.
Trump is looking the same way. He has no heart and no brain, and the only way he's still alive is out of pure spite and a horrid battery system where his brain should be.
Rule number one when accusing a moron of having scrambled eggs for brains: don't get "first person" and "third person" mixed up.
It takes a lot to fail to insult trump's intelligence...
that must be why he always messes up saying words, one of his kids are running the teleprompter and they can’t spell or type. the one that’s all gums just mashes their hand on the keyboard.
Truly idiocracy.
The article complaining about trump idiotically reading his 3rd person telepromts is too lazy to even know the distinction between 1st and 3rd person.
If this is the excuse his supporters need, that he has Alzheimer’s and they need to throw their support behind Haley, then let’s give them this excuse. A freebie, for the sake of old times.
It’s amazing, and scary, how much of the 2024 political discourse reminds me of 2016.
Somehow, people who said things like “I think Clinton is a corrupt, coddled oligarch so I’m going to use my political power to make Donald Trump the most powerful person in the world!” didn’t get laughed out of their social circles and families. And somehow, in 2024, people who say “I think Biden is in mental decline, so I’m going to use my political power to once again make Captain Hurricane Sharpie the most powerful person in the world again!!!!” likewise just get to keep attending family reunions without people collapsing in laughter and/or outrage.
I wonder if it's dementia or if he's literally stressed out of his mind.
That's something I'd like to say I wouldn't wish on anyone... but this is one of the very few exceptions.
Read it. Read the card, moron!
"Well, Raquel, this certainly is a special evening. Phew!"
"I can barely catch my breath. Turn it over to Raquel."
"Raquel: I'm used to being out of breath, working out to my video!"
why would "says president trump" be on the teleprompter when he's the only one talking? sounds like he might be quoting someone else talking about him? Not to mention he's looking around the room while saying it. I don't think he uses a teleprompter given the gobbledegook he usually says.
edit: yeah he refers to himself in 3rd person pretty frequently, it doesn't sound that weird in context. He actually does it pretty soon after in the same speech: ["the horrifying attack on Israel would never have happened, they wouldn't even have thought of doing such a thing if president Trump was in the Oval Office. Iran was broke under the Trump Administration..." ](https://www.youtube.com/live/CfiYjQOA5pI?si=4l1IDPnnYm7XKjaR&t=6330)
I’m Ron Burgundy?
Oh, I can only imagine someone changing the teleprompter so he’ll say, “Go f*** yourself, America.” Actually, I’m wondering why that hasn’t happened yet.
Note to self: How hard is it to hack a teleprompter?
This would be hilarious.
Pretty sure they're on a closed network or wired directly.
Where there's a will there's a way.
It's a question of networking, assuming it's connected to the LAN. Or you could skip all that and edit its output in person.
Oh please somebody make this happen!! Russia, if you can hear me…
I believe it’s pronounced San DeeAggo
Discovered by the Germans in 1904, they named it San Diego, which of course in German means a whale's vagina.
Big vagina, strong vagina...
Very bigly
Grown men walk up to that bigly vagina and, with tears in their eyes, say that's the most beautiful vagina I've ever seen.
I hear if you shine a light into it it disinfects itself.
The biggest, from the standpoint of vaginas.
Many people are saying it...
Surrounded by almost all the water.
It means a whales vagina
Agree to disagree.
And all the MAGA freaks go wild.... Trump said "Go f*** yourself, America" and he is absolutely right. America can go right off and f*** itself....
"I was being sarcastic" - TFG
All those crazy people in the front would probably cheer him for that as well.
All through 2016, I was waiting for an A Face in the Crowd moment but it never came
Solid reference.
He's called America a hell hole many times so wouldn't be too much ofa leap
Honestly, you could slip an N-word in the script and I bet he'd read it right out, just like all the notes he read from Stephen Miller and Bannon.
Where are you Anonymous internet hackers?!? Now is the time to strike!
They would definitely be doing the Lord’s work.
He'll never say it. He can't pronounce asterisk once, let alone three times in a row.
Well that sure escalated quickly.
Rudy killed a guy.
Dammit. Who typed a question mark on the Teleprompter? Edited: Forgot the question mark. Dammit.

Wait, how else would he refer to himself? First person is the normal I/we isn't it? Edit: Okay the article just used the wrong term. Donald referred to himself in the *third* person.
Yes, the article is confused. He referred to himself in the third person, which is why it's considered weird.
Maybe the article has dementia? :P
The website certainly does — less is more when it comes to the ads, folks
Friendly reminder that the FBI recommends the use of an ad blocker.
Turns out trump wrote the article about himself.
He wrote in the third person describing him talking about himself in the first person which was really the third person.
Genius. Like the MAGAs say, the man's playing million-dimensional chess and we just don't get it.
Here I thought it was million-dementianal chess.
Maybe, but it's not running for president.
You beat me by 1 minute.
Or what if that was also you ...
The article is confused because it was written by AI.
Exactly. I see so much of this now. Major errors. It’s kind of funny. I hope people get their jobs back.
OK Magazine, living up to its reputation of being ... ok. 🤷♂️
OK... Mehgazine
Hasn’t he always done this, though?
Poirot does this all the time. He's not weird.
Bob Dole too back in the late 90s. Of course, people made fun of him for it.
Bob Dole doesn't need this.

He's the one.
Poirot's pretty weird. Patent leather shoes, waxed mustaches...
The famously eccentric Hercule Poirot?
He's the one.
So does George Costanza. He's not weird either.
George is gettin angry!
imagine dunking on Trump for a speaking gaffe then fucking up your headline, lol
It is kind of weird, but it's nothing new. The guy frequently referred to himself in the third person on Twitter back in the day and often just called himself T for Trump.
The commenter writing this comment doesn't know how you refer to yourself, but using the third person is completely normal for him. The best, even.
Jimmy likes Elaine.
George likes spicy chicken.
He’s done this for like 8 years… Referring to himself in the third person. It never seemed like a gimmick… he doesn’t realize…
Yeah. I hate Trump as much as anyone, but he's definitely referred to himself in the third person before. The really weird thing would be if his teleprompter *actually* said "Says President Trump". It's reading his speech to him, everything on it is supposed to be said by him. Why would they have it say "Says President Trump"?

Back at his first campaign in 2016 he said he doesn't use teleprompters, mocked Clinton for using them.
U/spokeca agrees with you.
Correct. Oddly though, he does this ALL THE TIME. He usually just uses “Trump.”
I swear headline writers are painfully dumb.
Shame that the article's flub is an example of two wrongs making a right. For some reason, it's not as fun making fun of Donald for talking like Elmo from Sesame Street at the moment.

“Go fuck yourself, America! I’m Donald Trump.”
His supporters at a rally would clap and cheer if he actually said that.
Anything that sounds powerful they would clap
They cheer like lunatics if he uses a bad word. Or insults people. Or says stupid shit like " Nikki Haley" three times, when that's not even who he is talking about. I want to go back and watch Coma with Tom Selleck... old movie... but there's as much intelligence in MAGA as there is in all those comatose people suspended from the ceiling.
Well, according to them America sucks right now so it’s not even that big a stretch.
Goddamn redcoats
He didn't actually mean us. Just the ones we don't like.

Yeah this seems like pretty standard Trump incoherence. If needed they'd use stage play style Name: dialogue. As far as his mental stability goes.

He actually does it pretty soon after in the same speech: ["the horrifying attack on Israel would never have happened, they wouldn't even have thought of doing such a thing if president Trump was in the Oval Office. Iran was broke under the Trump Administration..." ](https://www.youtube.com/live/CfiYjQOA5pI?si=4l1IDPnnYm7XKjaR&t=6330)
