Anybody with a fourth-grade education can read a teleprompter, some better than others. Donald Trump, who once vilified anyone that used a teleprompter, never leaves home without it. Even on his rally stops, he has his teleprompter. But, the words are not his. They come from his staff, most notably Stephen Miller, and probably one or two others? Does Trump believe everything he reads from the teleprompter?
Then there are the "tweets". It does appear that he writes most of them himself. They come from his brain and his heart. We see the person behind them. We see the personal attacks, the name-calling, the destructive nature of many of them. Is this the real Donald Trump?
