Trump makes fun of Biden for wearing "the biggest mask you've ever seen". He should actually make fun of him for using the biggest teleprompter you've ever seen. That thing sticks out like a sore thumb. His campaign is not even trying.

Try to picture him at the G8 summit having discussions with other world leaders with a TV screen in front of him.

He won't go, he will send Harris. God help us.

Quips of Rhetoric and making-fun is now what a Election is on. THIS AS I SAID BEFORE ON MOST POST .... LIKE WE ARE ALL IN MIDDLE SCHOOL AGAIN.

Thing is, Biden does good on a telleprompter usage in reading and presentation. SOME PRESIDENTS HAD THIS SKILL WITH OR WITHOUT ONE. President Ronald Reagan was one.... I said before I watched Biden's Gettysburg news event. IT WAS NOT AS A PEP RALLY AT ALL. No huge crowd. It was about MAKING HIS POINT FOR HIS BASE and those who can still be swayed AND A TO HONOR THOSE WHO PASSED ON THE FIELD and RELATE LINCOLN'S TIME of STRIFE and OUR NEAR CIVIL WAR ANTICS LURKING.....

Donald Trump does not do badly on a Teleprompter AND STAYS ON SCRIPT THEN. He should use it more to stay focused on SUBSTANCE and NOT DRAMA and HYPING HIMSELF IMO.

We want to see the REAL PERSON. Just not CRAZY AT TIMES ANTICS. PEP RALLY's have their place. Perhaps not at this time .... still MANY NEEDED TRUMP TO REMAIN CIVIL, STAY ON HIS AGENDA ON FACTS and not need to BE HOW ALL HE DID WAS STUPENDOUS AND GREATEST EVER DONE. Just my opinion on HOW I SEE A TELEPROMPTER AS AVOIDING BAD BEHAVIOR WHEN A CALMER DEMEANOR IS BEST.... Both men do well with it.

Reading a Teleprompter and maintaining audience eye contact and hand gestures is a bit of skill and to some it comes natural, some less so.
AGAIN... DONALD TRUMP DID WELL ON A TELEPROMPTER TOO. NO ONE NEED BE MOCKED TO USE ONE ... not him either.

If you want to know why Biden hesitates so much it's because he loses his place on the teleprompter. He can't form his own thoughts if he has to wing it like Trump does.

Too bad the media does not show this.

It's not working. Millions tuned into Biden's town hall this week and saw a guy who has facts and real plans go on for well over two hours with voters with no cards, no teleprompter, just a sharp mind and a clear message.

Biggest scam on the American people ever.
A really, really great idea for Trump, who speaks off the cuff. Force him to read the Teleprompters! That should have happened 4 years ago!!

And dayum! Look at the massive number of people gathered there! Whew! Conservatives, it's time for us to be shaking in our boots!

That is all good but when you need one to think it's alarming. Take him off it and just let him talk freely. He's lost.
