68. Anyone else notice how much he looked down at notes
Thu Dec 4, 2025, 04:31 AM
Dec 4

when he was answering questions? It's like his staff had prepared talking points from his own statements on various topics.
It's the same thing when he's sitting at his desk in the Oval Office making an announcement or taking questions. This is different from his first term or even his campaign before the 2024 election when he'd just riff bs off the top of head.
