Trump Freaks Out and Struggles to Read the Teleprompter — Then Blames Biden for Hiring the Audio/Visual Company
I swear to God this man is slowly raising my blood pressure. Bring me the lisinopril. On Saturday afternoon, Donald Trump experienced some sketchy moments with his teleprompter on a wind-swept airfield outside Dayton, Ohio, and instead of just moving on…he actually blamed Joe Biden for the mistake.
Though the rally was meant to be drumming up support for Bernie Moreno’s run in the state’s Senate primary on Tuesday, Trump spent much of his time criticizing Biden and the Democrats who defeated him in 2020. The man just can’t get over the fact that Biden beat him.
As the teleprompters were seen visibly flapping around in the 35-mile-per-hour wind, Trump complained: “Don’t pay these suckers!” referring to those who’d set them up. What a surprise….Trump not paying his vendors!
When he struggled to make out his speech and adjusted the teleprompters, he joked: ‘I think Joe Biden put them in!’

Though he later remarked how brilliant it was “to have a president who doesn’t need a teleprompter,” his subsequent freewheeling speech was sometimes difficult to follow.
Trump has often made word gaffes involving former President Obama told the modestly-sized rally in Ohio, that Joe Biden had once successfully beaten Obama in an election. It was unclear what he meant. He also called Obama, “Obaba”.
Trump said: “You know what’s interesting? Joe Biden beat Barack Hussein Obama, anybody ever heard of him? Every swing state, Biden beat Obama but in every other state, he got killed.”
Donald Trump's dementia is progressing, "Joe Biden won against Barack Hussein Obama…"

Retelling his now well-known anti-immigration “The Snake” story, Trump also struggled to pronounce the word “bite.”
And here is Trump somehow blaming Biden for his own errors, and for the teleprompter falling on a day when there was heavy wind:
