no it's not. how the hell could i possibly put forward evidence of what "Trump still believes" without him acknowledging it himself? you are literally asking me to put forth mind-reading evidence.

the onus is 100% on trump to acknowledge the change of mind or else he is a hypocrite.

He said no presidential candidate should use one. Open your eyes and read the news. The selective amnesia of Trump supporters is funny.

EXACTLY - you want an acknowledgement and since you haven't recieved it, you jump to name calling. Change of mind without formal explanation does not = hypocrisy. That's simply a conclusion you are willing tp jump to. And as I pointed out, Trump said back in May that he sometimes uses them.

If someone wants to help Trump they should tell the Orange clown the following:

"Better to use a teleprompter and be thought a fool than to speak without it and remove all doubt"

You have no evidence of that.

I imagine they came down on him like a ton of bricks for his stupid remarks of the last few days. I bet they even threatened him with being tossed as the nominee if he didn't use one.
Tossing him as the nominee would mean the end of the Republican Party.

Parties don't survive by ignoring their members' votes.

I listened to his speech; it was totally without emotion. I could see he was really chafing at having to follow someone's direction. He sounded like a wooden puppet. Bland and flat. I could tell he didn't mean a word of what he was reading off the teleprompter.
His speech was fine.

It was obvious that he wrote a lot of it himself.

It is also obvious that he went "off script" when it suited him.

Imagine in your best sniffling, whining baby voice:

"Trump said he wouldn't use a teleprompter and, and, and, and he did whaaah"
LOL

It just goes to show how weak the Democratic candidates are that their supporters obsess about this.

"Trump decides to eat Porterhouse steaks instead of fillet mignon."

"B-b-but he said that fillet mignon was the ONLY steak to eat."

Exactly.

Trump is just starting out as a politician.

He has the right to make adjustments to his strategy and change his mind.

His not using a teleprompter helped get him the nomination.

People were impressed that he could speak without using a teleprompter.

Now he understands that using one can help him in the general election.
