Has anyone noticed how Trump's press briefings have changed? Instead if his usual rambling pep rallies he just reads a prepared script in a steady monotone. Not a very good reader either. He struggles with words and phrases. Obviously he has never read any of it before he hits the podium.
 
New Tone?
 
Yesterday :

The white house PR flacks omitted from the official transcript, this question, from the Huffington Post white house correspondent,



....but proudly did not omit this, from the "official" coronavirus daily briefing..:

he's turned is "briefings" into stump speeches.
 

He likely has not read it before hitting the podium. It is probably finalized just before he goes out.

If it was prepared well in advance, it would be on the teleprompters - like Obama demanded everything he read.

He does not struggle with words and phrases, rather he probably cannot believe what he is reading as he prefers free flowing text.
 
As a fair-minded supporter of President Trump, I agree that he is a terrible speaker -- except at his pep rallies where he is beloved by the audience and he gets all excited and comes up with crowd-pleasing comments.

But apart from rallies and off-the-cuff remarks to the media on the Executive Mansion lawn, he is a dud at speaking. Yes, he just reads a prepared paper and drones on without any real enthusiasm. President-almost-elect Biden is actually a better speaker when reading from a script.
