Donald Trump: Difference between revisions

* [[Throw It In]]: One of the greatest frustrations suffered by Trump's staff during his presidency was his inability to follow a script. Without someone able to force him to stay on-topic, Trump would invariably throw out his prepared notes to expound, often fact-free and at great length, about his political enemies, his grievances and anything else he thought would make make him look good to the audience.<ref>In a lot of ways, this was due to his distaindisdain towards President Obama, whose detractors often claimed [[Insane Troll Logic|he could not give a speech without a tele-prompter]] something which most would agree, is preferable to trying to recite a ninety-minute speech from memory.</ref> Averted in the wake of the mob attack on the Capitol he instigated on January 6, 2021; his staff refused to let him make any kind of live speech, instead taping all his announcements and watching closely to ensure that he did not improvise and undo the carefully scripted condemnations of the insurrectionist violence that they had worked so hard to produce and distribute. Even so, the recording they used was the fourth "take".
