I recently posted an item on this blog about Teleprompters and how the president — as did his predecessors — rely on the device to deliver serious speeches.<\/p>\n

But we’re getting a close look in real time at how the message delivered by Donald Trump as he reads from the Teleprompter differs from the one he delivers when he, um, veers “off script.”<\/p>\n

Let’s look first at Teleprompter Trump.<\/p>\n

That version of the president is not the real thing. It’s a made-up version of the man who occupies the office. He seeks to speak seriously, but he just doesn’t do it very well or with much believability, let alone with any conviction. I watch him deliver those scripted speeches and wonder: Does he believe anything he is saying?<\/p>\n

Teleprompter Trump is being chided and chastised for his seeming insincerity. He says the correct words, but looks, sounds and acts as if he doesn’t believe what he is saying.<\/p>\n

Then we have the Unscripted Trump.<\/p>\n

This is the president in his element. It’s how he won the 2016 presidential election. He rants, raves and rails. He makes up things. He lies through his teeth. He hurls insults. He waves his arms wildly.<\/p>\n

Trump showed us his true self in direct juxtaposition to the Teleprompter Trump that he put on display.<\/p>\n

That creates a stunning comparative model. He speaks to us using the Teleprompter and then on the very next day he reverts to the Trump many of us have grown to detest — and many others of grew to love and adore.<\/p>\n

It’s impossible to square one message delivery with the other. One is able to conclude which version of Trump is real and which one is fake.<\/p>\n

Teleprompter Trump<\/em> is a phony-baloney figment of the president’s own imagination. Unscripted Trump<\/em> is the real thing — inarticulate insults and all.<\/p>\n\n
