A user wrote “So, Donald Trump says, ‘Isn’t it nice to have a president who doesn’t need a teleprompter?’ He’s there, eyes locked on the screen, but he’s acting like he’s freestyling. It’s like watching someone use GPS and bragging they know the way. ‘I don’t need directions!’ he says… as Siri’s telling him to turn left in 200 feet. But it’s Trump!

A sarcastic comment read, “Although the teleprompters are clearly visible, I would venture Trump is telling the truth quite by accident. He obviously just lets whatever that red fog is that's swirling in his brain right out his mouth. No teleprompter needed. Keep it up, Donald. You're doing great!”
