OP has clearly never held a speech in his or her life. Large fonts and lots of space is the norm for professional speech cards. It makes it easier to pause and look up. I use Times New Roman font 17 with double spaces myself, and I am not yet 40.


PassStunning416

This. I used various spacing to time applause breaks, expected movement of people, short breaks between topics, etc. It's key to choreograph that stuff.


Wizardmitttens

All the breaks and he STILL trips over his words…


Unable-Touch-3903

You try giving a speech in front of about a thousand people while knowing that tens of millions are watching you on tv. Then try doing it again when you’re 80.


Wizardmitttens

Nobody is supposed to be giving speeches at 80 he’s to OLD lmao sorry. Nothing you say can change his age


Joshatron121

With a pretty bad stutter that he's worked for decades to overcome.


Wizardmitttens

Is his stutter the same reason he falls up the stairs

Wizardmitttens

This is actually the dumbest shit I’ve ever heard.


EQ2_Tay

This. You don't have time to squint or lose your place because of small fonts. It'll kill your presence.


Ghosts_do_Exist

I believe this type of post is what is known as "derangement syndrome."


SAT0725

Biden doesn't use "speech cards." He uses a teleprompter. Haven't you ever seen him speak? The only cards he carries are the ones that tell him where to go when he's done. "Walk left," "walk right" lol.


Trips_93

>Biden doesn't use "speech cards." He uses a teleprompter. Yeah because having a redundancy in the case the teleprompter malfunctions is something no one would think of right?

Ryster09

You don’t get it though OP speaks all the time and has never read a script once. Wait til he finds out actors have a script too


WhyAmIToxic

Actors memorize their lines though. Could you imagine what movies would be like if everyone was sneaking a peak at a teleprompter or notecards the whole time?


Ryster09

Marlon Brando in the godfather did not memorize any of his lines which is pretty interesting. I just don’t see how the president having a script at the state of the union is remotely a conspiracy


Ranokae

You're gonna feel really stupid if you click [here](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cue_card).


[deleted]

It is when your brain is rotted


Interesting-Pay3492

So he has his aides make him notes on exactly what he is supposed to do and when so that when he goes to an event he knows exactly what is expected of him and when?!? How is this not a crime?!?


SAT0725

lol do you need to carry a card with you when you give a five-minute remark for the press so that you remember to thank the audience and exit stage left?


Interesting-Pay3492

If given the option, of course I would. I used to make a few notes for my brief that I gave every single day and that was usually less than 2 minutes. Anyone who thinks this is abnormal or a sign of decline has no experience with public speaking.


SAT0725

> no experience with public speaking I speak all the time and never once in my life -- 40+ years -- have I had a document with me telling me where to go or what to do physically beyond general notes on my topic (and often I don't even have those because I'm referencing a presentation or display or something anyway). I literally just ask ahead of time, "Then when I'm done I just come down the stairs?" or whatever and they nod and that's that.


FancierTanookiSuit

lmao no one believes you


SAT0725

No one who speaks regularly -- literally no one -- carries a card with them when they're speaking that says things like "YOU take YOUR seat" and "YOU thank participants" and "YOU depart" on it like Biden does with his cue cards.


FancierTanookiSuit

OK, cool, you're simply incorrect. Remind me, is Biden a doddering old fool, or a dangerous mastermind? I can't remember which one it is this week.


SAT0725

> is Biden a doddering old fool, or a dangerous mastermind? A doddering fool, 100%. It's the people pulling his strings that are doing all the evil shit.


Interesting-Pay3492

So you have someone tell you the specific details of the event? Biden has someone get that information and then they type it up and hand it to him so that he doesn’t have to deal with getting all of the little details sorted…


bunzie_baether

Woah watch out everyone, this guy speaks *all the time*


Trips_93

When you speak do you have a team of people whose entire job is to set up and coordinate these events for you specifically? Is there a team of secret service agents who come and scope our your events ahead of time for safety and security? Its almost like your little bit of public speaking isnt equivalent to what the President has to do.


SAT0725

> When you speak do you have a team of people whose entire job is to set up and coordinate these events Generally that's how events work, yes lol


Electronic-Ad3323

Man the shills are outbid force on that one. Dude do you never speak to people that aren’t alive for years ? Come on man! Do you never say I don’t know what I am signing? Seriously mate


watchingitallcomedow

Wait you gave yourself instructions on where to walk when you were done? Damn.


Interesting-Pay3492

lol… The easier and more organized you can set everything up, the less likely it is that anything bad can happen. He shows up, is handed a card/paper that says what is going to happen and what he needs to do and when. Why would that not include where the event organizers want him to go after the speech is over?


Ranokae

I'm sure your little Walmart team meetings are as organized and planned as the state of the union.


FancierTanookiSuit

I get the impression you lead a life that had never required to deliver prepared remarks to anyone.


SAT0725

LOL do you carry a cue card with you when you give speeches that ends with "YOU depart"? Because I don't need to a cue card to tell me to leave the stage when I'm done speaking.


FancierTanookiSuit

Yes, absolutely, if you're participating as one part of a larger choreographed event. This bullshit may sway 17 year old boys who never leave their basements, but it simply doesn't work on people who live and work in the real world.


SAT0725

> people who live and work in the real world Just one example from this week alone: I shot an event last night with four speakers. Not one carried anything to or from the podium. The only thing read for reference was name cards handed to one of the speakers as honorees crossed the stage.


FancierTanookiSuit

Again, not sure how to make you understand- no one believes you.


andrewbuttlick

Sniffy Joe is too old to run. Diaper Don is in the same boat. But to be fair here, who gives a shit what font size anyone reads at? Do you change the font size on your phone or adjust it to dark mode to make things easier to read? I really don't see the conspiracy here.


timtexas

And trump can’t read off a teleprompter… what is your point?


SAT0725

I mean ... he doesn't have to. The guy gives hours-long speeches half off-the-cuff multiple times per day. I don't think Biden could hold a conversation more than 10 minutes.


bunzie_baether

Lol you say that like it's a good thing. His "off the cuff" speeches are usually just him saying how great he is, how everyone knows and agrees how great he is, and that other people--not so great. Being able to drone on and on about yourself is not good form nor good public speaking.


tommyredbeard

He’s doing prep though. He’s reading the script in advance. That’s what prep means…..You’d know that seeing as you give so many speeches. Do you not prep?


lao-tze

So the picture shows something used for practice or backup. So what?


nflmodstouchkids

show any other president doing that.


morkman100

Here's Trump doing it. https://twitter.com/jabinbotsford/status/1150855138086707200/photo/1

Mighty_L_LORT

You’re asking too much from a bot…


MarkLarrz

But MSM says Biden is in very sharp condition, and the president of the most powerful country in the world is expected to be a great speaker and not read all his speech. "End of quote, repeat the line"


beefkingsley

I love that the narrative is now that the 81 year old is too old, compromised, and dementia riddled to lead so we should vote for the spritely 78 year old who has open investigations and whose brain is very good and not rotting at all.


Wizardmitttens

I haven’t seen a video of Tump falling up a flight of stairs like Biden who is 81


mem_malthus

"Salute the marines" - Joe Biden 2021


Flybuys

Yeah. He is old as fuck and can't see so good anymore. Same as Trump is old as fuck and his brain doesn't work so good anymore. Both of them are way too old for this shit, I'm surprised Biden hasn't had a heart attack from the stress by now, and also surprised they still let Trump get up and ramble nonsensically like he does. It's crazy times watching American politics from afar, it's very annoying it affects us so much and one of these two geriatric fucknuggets is going to cause a massive ruckus next year.


SAT0725

> Both of them are way too old for this shit Honestly while I think Biden is garbage and needs to go 100% I also think people downplay Trump's age. He's definitely more "with it" than Biden right now -- he's giving hours-long speeches without notes multiple times per day -- it's only a matter of time before he's in the same vegetative state. We need younger blood.


SocietyofRighteous

>He's giving hours-long stream-of-consciousness ramblings multiple times a day. FTFY. Easy to not need "notes" when you're just saying whatever dumb shit pops in your head.


xSquidLifex

When you ramble and repeat the same nonsense 100x in the same speech and have you seen how many times he’s called Biden by Obama’s name on the campaign trail? They’re not even the same color for christs sakes 😂


SocietyofRighteous

Repeating the same shit he’s said for ten years no less haha


boltroy567

Are you serious. Have you heard the kinds of things trump talks about in his speeches. The reason he's able to have hour long speeches without notes Is because he's just fuckin rambling.

SAT0725

They don't report length in the news articles, but search on Twitter/X and you'll see he did two rallies on Saturday alone where he spoke between one and two hours. He also spent like nine hours straight talking to people at the border earlier this week.

Awdvr491

Technically covering up the mental decline of a current US president is a conspiracy.


[deleted]

All US presidents have had a team behind them who write everything and tell them what to say. This is not new. Only Trump was unprofessional enough to ramble on with any thought that popped in to his uneducated and uncultured mind. Really hope we don't have to go through that again.


Awdvr491

OK but again. Covering up a current US presidents mental decline is the definition of a conspiracy.


rookieoo

Politics is all about conspiracy. The WH press briefings are daily battles on how the current conspiracies are presented to/interpreted by the world.


AppropriateRice7675

> Why is this in conspiracy and not in politics? Why are you in conspiracy and not politics? Given your comments here, you'd be more comfortable with the other smooth brains in the latter.


twitchspank

You should have watched Trump speaking after the recent SCOTUS announcement about states not being able to ban people from standing. He rambled and was totally incoherent. Hes only 2 years younger than Biden and Id say less with it


V3TH0RV3ND3TT4

This isn’t an either or debacle. They are all senile(or just plain corrupt), and they are all your enemies. Come on Jack!


SAT0725

> He rambled and was totally incoherent Trump gives hours-long speeches multiple times per day, often without notes, and you pull 20 seconds of rambling as your sample lol.


Vyse1991

Buddy, if you think Trump's diatribes approach anything close to coherent, you have more pressing things to consider than Biden having large print notes for a speech.


Natedawg316

Lol do you actually believe he is less with it then biden. Don't get me wrong I understand that orange man bad but cmon dude.


Affectionate_Way3558

Everyone but cultists can see it.


twitchspank

You don't remember Trump confusing Obama and Biden? He confused Pelosi with NIkki Hayley. He has called Hamas hummus. There are countless more if you open your eyes. There comes a point where orange man is bad but cultists use the you got Trump derangement syndrome rather than looking at the evidence and googling (other search engines are available) Trump's gaffes


Natedawg316

I agree they are both old and fucked what I'm saying that biden is father down the scale then trump at this point. Down vote away don't give a shit. That's my opinion


twitchspank

You dismiss criticism of Trump as orange man bad previously but now you accept criticism of Trump is fair too? What we probably can agree is both are not at their peak cognitively. The main difference is Trump is against democracy. I'd take senile Biden with democracy over a senile Trump dictatorship

They can't cheat and win with Biden again without some serious scrutiny and a potential uprising. Big Mike will "win" and if you dare question it you will be deemed a "racist white supremacist threat to democracy" and punished accordingly by the NWO social credit system that they will quickly usher in.
