teleprompters. I screen capped this image when I saw it earlier.

It wasn't as if he had a point to make about the teleprompter.

He is having a mental breakdown -- but that isn't news. This has been ongoing most of the past year.

http://thehill.com/blogs/ballot-box/301144-trump-breaks-his-teleprompter

This guy has nothing to say. He is just a clown. Just doing anything to draw attention to himself.

He has the self control of a 9-year old. The slightest thing provokes him. If the prompters don't work, just give the standard stump speech like everybody else.

Everything is a conspiracy with this guy. Everything is a power game.

This is a defective human being.

That picture makes him look like Glen Beck in full Vicks.

It's really hard to feel sorry for someone like Trump. I'd much rather see him than be him, but compassion has been a hard thing to dig up.

I remember they were on and on and on about teleprompters in the past, and how they were tools of the devil, used only by speakers who couldn't write their talking points on their hands. Maybe Trump's hands are too tiny to write his talking points on?

Also, I seem to recall the whackadoos being all bent out of shape because Hillary Clinton wasn't holding press conferences with the "right" reporters every other day. It's been about three months since Trump had a press conference. Nary a peep from the whackadoos. Strange.

It's whatever their candidate says that hour, and that's what people say they're for. If he changes tomorrow, and says he's gonna use them again, they'll be right on board with them when talking about politics with others. I am always amazed at how quickly they change with whatever he says.

34. The Trump Files: The Time He Went Nuts on a Water Cooler
Fri Oct 14, 2016, 11:08 PM
Oct 2016
Mark Bowden, the reporter and author of the book Black Hawk Down, was "prepared to like" the aging and increasingly hefty Donald Trump when he set out to profile the mogul for Playboy in 1996. The two men took a trip down to Trump's Mar-a-Lago resort for a weekend, but the reality of The Donald quickly made any affection impossible.

"Trump struck me as adolescent, hilariously ostentatious, arbitrary, unkind, profane, dishonest, loudly opinionated, and consistently wrong," Bowden wrote last year in Vanity Fair, recalling his time profiling Trump. "He remains the most vain man I have ever met. And he was trying to make a good impression." Any remaining chance of that went out the window when Trump unleashed his fury on an equipment box at the Mar-a-Lago tennis courts, as Bowden wrote in the profile:

The Donald had his tile man—a genius! the best!—come out just a few weeks ago to lay smooth, rust-colored slate on the platforms between the burgundy clay tennis courts. It looks a lot nicer than plain concrete. Handsome stone water coolers stand at one end of the platform, and there's enough room under a yellow-striped umbrella for four chairs and a small table. Except, today, smack in the middle of each platform there's this...this thing...this little metal box about two feet high and a foot wide with wires and tubes sticking out of it, right where the table is supposed to go. Inspecting the courts with his tennis pro, Anthony Boulle, Donald probes the ugly box first with his foot.

...

Donald kicks the thing. It doesn't budge so he bends over, pissed royally now, and gives the thing a hard shove. It flops over. Water from the ruptured main begins to spout two, three, four feet high, rapidly soaking and then puddling on the carefully combed courts. The Donald, muttering angrily, skips out of the spray and strides off, stepping around the widening pool.

Tearing down the teleprompters, set up by his own campaign was a complete professional wrestling thing. The were set up on the stage expressly for that purpose.

When a WWE coach tries to "restrain his out of control wrestler".. The wrestler will toss his coach over and head for his opponent UNSHACKLED.

What a massive load of horseshit.
