Katy Tur Notes Trump’s Teleprompter Use in Speech: He Could Not ‘Speak From the Heart’
Mediaite ^ | 8/14/2017 | Ken Meyer

Posted on 08/15/2017 10:46:49 AM PDT by nikos1121

MSNBC’s Katy Tur reviewed President Trump‘s latest speech on Charlottesville, and she raised questions about the authenticity of the president’s scripted condemnation for the events of the last two days.

Tur spoke with David Jolly, Harold Ford, and Marc Morial, the latter of whom compared how long it took for Trump to condemn white supremacists and Ken Frazier. Jolly followed up by saying that even though Trump said everything properly today, his condemnation of white supremacists would’ve meant a lot more if it happened in his immediate response to the chaos, and without a script to read off of.

From there, Tur continued to explore how Trump read his speech off a teleprompter despite the fact that he railed against them throughout the 2016 election.

“This is a man who railed against the use of teleprompter repeatedly on the campaign trail,” Tur observed. “I found it notably that he had to read pretty carefully, these scripted words, and that this was not something he could speak extemporaneously about, that he could speak from the heart about.”

From there, Ford said that Trump will eventually face moments where he’ll need to call for national unity, and he’ll have to do it with greater compassion and spontaneity than he has expressed so far.

Just when you think they're going to come around and be reasonably respectful and kind to our president, we see this. Katy Tur I think is the light weight who was talking and carrying on during the pledge of allegiance during the opening of a Trump Campaign rally in Alabama. She's the one with 100% negative reporting on Trump since day one. She's the one, who has trouble with conducting her own teleprompter reports and her interview are atrocious.

One wonders, when listening or reading these people, "Is this all they've got?"

Unlike Obama, who can’t speak from the brain. ;-)

Obama required three teleprompters to speak to kindergarten students.

If we could eliminate the following from Obama's verbal vocabulary without a teleprompter: I, I, I, me, me, uh uh, and ummmm. He might not be able to talk nor pee without a teleprompter.

"You didn't make that! You didn't make that! I made that puddle!", screeched B-roken Obabble.

Candidate Trump spoke very well for months to huge crowds without a teleprompter.

Of course, this Thur(d) probably didn’t mind Odumbo’s use of a teleprompter.

Read from a teleprompter — get criticized for reading from a teleprompter.
Speak from the heart — get criticized for every little error in wording or phrasing. Gaffe after gaffe after gaffe (in the opinion of the MSM).

The only way to win is not to play the game.

She is a screwball. He father is too. He was the one helicopter pilot that filmed the OJ chase. He now calls himself Zoey. Trans.

Did Katy Turd ever, even once, mention the Kenyan Usurper’s robotic reading style with the teleprompter ... or his inability to compose a complete sentence without one?

IIRC, this is the same presstitute who claimed she couldn’t recall Obama’s flexibility comment to Pootie-Poot.

It was horrible to listen to him w/o one. Remember his last presser at WH? That was horrible to listen too.

Then he would do that whistle thing.

Notice Trump didn’t tell the parents of the deceased that he was going to bring a film-maker -who had nothing whatsoever to do with the events- “to justice” for the killing.
