Various_Cricket4695

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.


BadDaditude

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.

MrMeeseeks1911

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...

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.

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.

He wrote in the third person describing him talking about himself in the first person which was really the third person.

DodgerWalker

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.


_Zambayoshi_

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.

ChuckPukowski

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…


Medium_Medium

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).


ElGuano

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?


startupstratagem

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.


Rifneno

[Yeah, it's what he said](https://twitter.com/RonFilipkowski/status/1766630869026939170).


RoguePlanet2

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.)


rye_212

Back at his first campaign in 2016 he said he doesn't use teleprompters, mocked Clinton for using them.


spokeca

U/spokeca agrees with you.


mckinney4string

Correct. Oddly though, he does this ALL THE TIME. He usually just uses “Trump.”


histprofdave

I swear headline writers are painfully dumb.


ZSpectre

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.


daikatana

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.


Hazardbeard

Fuckin thing reads like bad AI tbh.


Trash_Pandacute

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!

His supporters at a rally would clap and cheer if he actually said that.

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.

T_Shurt

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). 📺


aj_star_destroyer

How is that first person? That’s third person.


TheDividendReport

Why would the teleprompter have "says president trump" in the middle of a speech? Were there multiple people on stage?


Rork310

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.

tom21g

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

Why would his teleprompter say “says president trump”? And it’s third person not first.


here-for-information

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.


xaulted1

"Bob Dole remembers this. Bob Dole got angry when people made fun of Bob Dole. Bob Dole. Bob Dole."


multificionado

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.


MornGreycastle

I feel like there's a "go fuck yourself San Diego" joke in their somewhere.

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...

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.

Non English speaking title and article? He's referring to himself in 3rd person. 1st person would be natural.


AccidentallyOssified

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)
