Trump’s speech was like a talk show, but why did Obama read from the script?

Whether the President of the United States takes the stage to give a speech or a stand-up comedian performs, they cannot say that they are completely adapted or read from the draft. If they read according to the draft, the speaker will lose the energy of his performance and the effectiveness of the speech will be greatly reduced. If they don't follow the draft exactly, the speaker's thoughts may get sidetracked by the atmosphere of the scene. Therefore, a successful speech must include a combination of drafting and improvisation, and the speech of the President of the United States is no exception. But Obama read from the manuscript because he marked key points in the manuscript and was thinking about how to say it better. .

Trump and Obama have different personal experiences. Trump is the second generation who is truly wealthy. After graduating from Penn Business College in 1968, he joined his father's real estate company and took over its operations in 1971. In the following decades, Trump traveled extensively in the real estate industry and established his own real estate empire. Major commercial achievements include Trump Tower in New York, Palm Springs Estates and the Trump Holiday Center. Trump has been involved in the entertainment industry since the 1980s. He has been a guest on popular talk shows such as "The Oprah Winfrey Show," "Larry King Live" and "Late Night with David."

Obama may really read from the script, but Trump will never do a talk show at will. Whether it's Obama or Trump, their aides will direct their every move and use teleprompters to prompt them for what they want to say. Obama has always been known for his eloquence. He has a team of professionals who write articles for him and process them. Among them, his personal writer Joe Decay is the representative. Before each speech, Obama convenes his writing team. The writing team will listen to Obama's views, then research the material based on Obama's views and write a speech for him.

In short, Obama does like to read manuscripts, and from all aspects, his habit has quite good results. However, Trump's speech seemed too outrageous to qualify as a talk show. Trump's speeches may be casual and sometimes shocking, but at least nearly every word he says is prepared in advance by his aides.
