Pissed about our president’s historic speech about D-Day, disgruntled losers took to Twitter-
George Conway
Occasionally he’ll read lovely words off a TelePrompTer that someone else wrote but he doesn’t understand, and then within days he’ll say something that will remind us … he was just reading words off a TelePrompTer that someone else wrote but he doesn’t understand.
Adam Parkhomenko
Morning Joe thinks the ability to read from a TelePrompTer is transformative. If you want to know how things got so dumb in this country, those idiots are a good place to start.
Elizabeth Spiers
My theory is that this happens because none of us are 100 percent sure he knows how to read, so utilizing a TelePrompTer might be the single area where Trump manages to exceed expectations.
Jules Suzdaltsev
I love living in a world we’re so unsure whether or not the President KNOWS HOW TO READ that his ability to parse a TelePrompTer is considered a “turning point”.
~~~~~~~~~~~
It’s ironic that they are saying Trump simply reads off a teleprompter when it’s obvious some shitlord has fed them their talking points.
When is teleprompter spelled as TelePrompTer?
NEVER.
I only know of it’s originally spelling,,,
Barack
That ummm and I thing was a chrome add-on
How soon they forget the retired.
Poor TOTUS has been forgotten.
At least Trump can speak clearly when not reading the Telepromter, unlike someone else I know.
That being said, this is how my iPad prompted me to spell it: TelePrompTer, so who knows.
It’s all scripted for them. All they have to do is cut and paste.
Takes a thoughtful, intelligent person to write their own copy. That’s why they can’t.
Sheesh.
…sorry, I’m no lefty, but I will ALWAYS spell it TelePrompTer, because that’s CORRECT.
…I grew up with my mother as a veep in a local TV station (rare for a woman at the time), and that was, and is, the trademarked name of the corporation that invented the things, and that’s what THEY called it.
“On April 21, 1949, Schlalfly submitted a patent application for his “television prompting apparatus,” and in the tradition of offstage “prompters” who had been relied upon to feed forgotten lines to actors, he called his device the TelePrompTer. ”

…so, sorry, but I’m not going to give up ANOTHER perfectly correct word just because Democrats use it. I grant you that this makes it pretty clear that these are talking points since the original term has fallen out of favor…but that does NOT make it INCORRECT…
Why is Kellyanne still married to George Conway? That’s just disturbing.
Kellyanne, do you need assistance? Are you in danger?
Blink 3 times for YES!
Girl, just shoot him with a dart and run away. Take the kids. Don’t leave them there or he’ll eat them.
Guess they still miss their Teleprompter-in-Chief, and are projecting again. 🙄
Well, as for myself, I have never seen it spelled that way, I don’t spell it that way, and I don’t plan to.
But this here is a clear case of copy/paste because that’s what the left does.
I’m surprised they didn’t all finish it off with, “SHOW ME WHAT DEMOCRACY LOOKS LIKE! THIS IS WHAT DEMOCRACY LOOKS LIKE!”
Ugh.
Kellyanne. Seriously. Dart. Kids. GO!!!
I now identify as a teleprompter.
I find it criminal that the left is using my identity as a ‘thing’ and blah blah blah etc…
I haven’t seen it spelled that way for quite a while, but in the past that was the ONLY way I saw it spelled, as a trademarked brand name. It’s probably gone the way of Kleenex.
But, yeah, in this case it’s clearly an artifact of enemy coordination facilitated by copy/paste.
My phone autocorrects it to TelePrompTer, which is the original manufacture’s trademarked product name, I believe.
Because they have descended from being incapable of independent thought to being incapable of recognizing when they are exposing the fact that they are being spoon fed “their stories” by the Democrat machine.
All I know is I’m not playing Trivial Pursuit against Supernightshade.
Might as well toss in Uncle Al, too. Given the decade or so of witnessing his intellect get the better of even himself. (Some jokes should stay in the doctor’s lounge where the peeps get them 😉 )
@Dadof4–this is when I wish I had a laughing emoticon for your comment! So true, Supernightshade is a wealth of knowledge!
Thanks Supernightshade. I never realized that is a trademark!
Hmm… I just typed it into my iphone and ipad. It doesn’t autocorrect it.
However, when I type barack 0bama, it capitalizes the name. But when I type in donald trump…
Yeah, okay. It doesn’t.

“All I know is I’m not playing Trivial Pursuit against Supernightshade.”
.. you are all too kind, or so I hope I can take it, but the correct emphasis is on the “Trivial”, as I have amassed a wealth of preeety pointless information over the decades…
…still, I’m grateful to iOTW for giving me a venue for it.
And to MJA for not wanting to strangle me for extreme nerditude, at least not publically…
As others have said, iPad and iPhone spellcheck changes to that spelling of TelePrompTer as I did here.

SNS, “extreme nerditude”
I knew there was a reason I liked you! When I used to work in the tech industry, some of my best buddies were nerdy geeks! I never laughed so hard while working! 😀
I’ve never once seen PDJT do that annoying mechanical metronome bobble head thing that Obama always did because he was dependent on the teleprompter – to prevent him from revealing his true self. Leftists robot-fools. It was Barry O that needed the TelePrompTer.
I first noticed the stupid spelling during the administration of the stupid dope who could not function without it and could barely stammer his way through anything with it, barky oblather. I guess the enemedia has forgotten all about their tin god now that he is gone?
I will bet Hitler’s lone testicle that if any of the people tweeting above ever wrote teleprompter in a tweet it was not spelled the original manufacturer’s way.
This is enemedia coordination.

…the walls are closing in… bombshell… scandal… conspiracy… collusion… impeach…
Why not just call it onama’s oxygen mask?
TelePrompTer was the name of the company that originally manufactured them until the early 80’s.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TelePrompTer_Corporation
Funny thing is, I remember back during the Obama TelePrompTer era, it never autocorrected like that. And nobody tried to fix the “TPT” when they typed it. Many even called it simply “the prompter” The selective autocorrecting is a more recent development, apparently.
But it is odd that the whole journo hive should settle on the “correct” spelling. Usually, they try to introduce a variant spelling, a shortening or a synonym here and there to hide the rote repetition of the magic word. Not here. It must be very important to drive home the narrative in lockstep.
All this “prompter” talk is bringing back the memories. Like how Barky needed two of them so he could look from side to side and show his magnificent profiles. And remember when Barky set up his Word-Wings in a kindergarten class? Those were the days.
@Thirdtwin: “And remember when Barky set up his Word-Wings in a kindergarten class?”
I do
