The ad also shows Biden’s national press secretary T.J. Last Wednesday, the Trump campaign released a scathing one-minute ad entitled, “ Joe’s Teleprompter,” showing Biden struggling to communicate, awkwardly filling the gaps with exhausted-sounding sighs and noises.
These are but a few examples, and not the actions of a well-adjusted human being. He tells oddball stories about Corn Pop and hairy legs and gets aggressive with voters who challenge his record and policy positions. Off, he meanders aimlessly about chicken manure and “you know, the thing” (equal rights in the Declaration of Independence). It of course says something very serious about the state of his mental affairs that he’s better on prompter than off. Rather than merely a normal and expected part of a campaign for making speeches and policy addresses, the teleprompter has become a crutch for the befuddled Biden. It’s become clear that Biden is also using a teleprompter during interviews with “journalists,” press conferences, and townhall events. At one point during a remote interview with “ The Late Late Show with James Corden,” Biden held up a picture of himself with sons Hunter and Beau, and the frame’s reflection revealed a teleprompter-a big fat warning sign that he needed help for such a non-serious, televised appearance. It’s now a crapshoot what’s going to come out of Biden’s mouth on or off the prompter.īiden has regressed to the point of reading cues out loud, giving hand signals- that we can see-to scroll up the text, and botching words as they appear on the screen. That was not that long ago, but six years can have a profound, compounding effect on the brain. So The New Yorker published an article about his verbal doozies that riled allies at home and interests abroad. That’s just Joe, folks! But in 2014, then-Vice President Biden’s blunders caught up with him again, this time embarrassing the Obama administration. Stepping on a rake has been part of Biden’s shtick for ages, and we’ve been gaslighted to think this is the essence of charm. José, was he reading his responses? /Yoausx0zTr What is happening here in this interview w/ After he says he’ll freeze deportations once becoming president, he tells someone off camera, “I lost that line.” Telemundo’s then tells him “We can talk you and I on that.” The teleprompter was so essential to preserving Obama’s carefully crafted image that someone started a parody blog with the catchy tagline, “There is no POTUS without TOTUS.” No matter what the teleprompter says or what its handler does, Biden is bound to gaffe it up. Saving Obama from his tendency to uhhhh and errrr his way through the English language, the teleprompter made him appear oh-so-presidential and caused his swooning supporters’ chests to swell with pride, and gormless Republicans to quake in their loafers. Once the prized, not-so-secret weapon of President Obama’s supposed rhetorical prowess, the teleprompter has become the conspicuous centerpiece of Joe Biden’s third attempt to capture America’s highest office. There is something to be learned from it all, I believe, even from a simple machine designed to facilitate clear communication to the general public. Election 2020 has seen its fair share of the comical and bizarre, of the heartening and debased.
