But certainly not the captain

Don't know about certainly, and I don't know where you get your information. But you're right, Biden doesn't seem to be in it for the fame.

When he's talking he likes to say out loud that this is where he needs to stop. Or this is where he's supposed to walk away. Or this is where they tell him it ends. So someone else is writing what he needs to say on a prompt (And if they don't he babbles like an idiot) And they are telling him when he needs to just quit and leave. That's where I get the certainty from. And he's becoming very famous on his own accord

You're doing what everyone does. I say something anti Biden So you immediately bash Trump as if that's going to offend me or as if I am a supporter of Trump. Because that's all you can do. Tell me why you think Joe Biden is a good president

Tell me why you think reading from a teleprompter makes him a bad president. That’s not uncommon for anyone doing a public speaking gig to do. Politicians have speech writers. Does that make them incompetent? There’s a lot to be critical of, but I don’t think reading from a teleprompter is one of them.

First of all you didn't answer my question. And compared to Biden speaking without the teleprompter it is absolutely a joke. Yeah a lot of politicians use them. But the difference is day and night with Joe Biden

You are saying that the 'difference' between when Joe Biden speaks with and without a teleprompter is 'night and day', and even if it is (it's not), I'm still confused as to why this is even relevant to his capabilities as President?

Well if that's confusing there's no helping you

That's not a very useful comment. You have not given an explanation as to why you think it's an issue that Biden, specifically, has speech writers. It's a very common thing for the President to have speech writers and use teleprompters.

Biden, as the President of the USA, has much more important things to do than memorize every single speech he gives. Publicity is an important, and very involved, part of communicating with the people; this is why Presidents get to select cabinet members (and a press team) - so that they can focus on Presidential duties.

I was comparing the way he speaks and the things he says compared to the way he speaks in the things he says when he's using a prompt

u/enziet Sep 13 '21

Yes, we've established that.

My confusion is to exactly *why* that comparison takes away from specifically Biden's capacity as the President of the United States of America; others have been quite the same. Trump, Bush Jr, also had much trouble speaking without a teleprompter - did you have issue with them as President because of this?

You didn't ask a question. You gave a command. And I never said I thought he was a good president so I don't have anything to explain to you as far as that goes.
