Trump's inability to learn anything new

is quite evident in his failure to read a teleprompter. In three years he still hasn’t mastered how to do it, and all indications are that he never will. He still looks unnatural as he reads word for word separately, tonelessly as he obviously turns his head only to look at the other monitor. He stand there stiffly without using his arms or hands for emphasis.

Yet he does all the natural movements, voice tones with emphasis when he talks at his rallies.

I know we’re all used to it and so what right? Well my question is why he hasn’t learned to speak smoothly and look like he’s not reading the teleprompter in all this time? All the other people who make speeches learn how to do it. It’s not something you’re born knowing how to do.

There’s something physically wrong with his brain. Yeah, I know, Duh!

This is him choosing the size and font at the Republican National Convention back in 2018. It may be bigger now.

Sudafed, I think....main source says he does cocaine in Florida, but who knows. Jeffrey Epstein 's parties, which Trump attended, did have cocaine.

"Anything from decongestants, some antidepressants, cocaine, mescaline, amphetamines including adderal, Ritalin, speed, LSD and many legal prescription drugs could cause dilation. Setting drugs aside Chronic mania would do it as well. Mispronounced words is probably due to hyperactivity or just plain ignorance or speech syndrome. in the spiritual realm demonic possession could cause it as well."
