Who's Donald Trump's speech writer?

When he is not reading from a teleprompter, he’s just ad-libbing, rambllng, reading from lists, no speech writer involved. When he reads from the two tele-prompters, Stephen Miller and White House aides prepare his remarks, which is why they tend to be a bit amateurish, derivative, disjointed and formulaic. I know one of the White House staffers, a college freshman, who worked on the Cuba policy speech. As the Washington Post notes, Teleprompter Trump’s speeches are usually cobbled together by several staffers:

In part, that is what happens whenever a speech is drafted by committee. It’s plainly obvious from reading the transcript (of the UN speech) that different sections of the speech were written by different people with different world views.

So if a speech to the UN or Congress sounds vaguely like a divisive, bombastic campaign rally speech, that’s because it is - both speeches were drafted by anonymous political staffers. He just slurs them out.

Based on his speech to Congress or to the UN, it is clear that Trump does not have a professional political speech writer like Peggy Noonan. Likewise, there is apparently little fact-checking involved in what he says. Indeed, his press agent claims that Trump wrote his speech to Congress himself.

5 fact checks from President Trump's joint address. For instance:

“Ninety-four million Americans are out of the labor force.”

This is a Four-Pinocchio claim, based on a real number. The Bureau of Labor Statistics, relying on a monthly survey known as the Current Population Survey (CPS), shows that, as of January 2016, 94.4 million Americans 16 years and older were “not in the labor force” - meaning they are retired, full time students, incapacitated, stay-at-home moms, etc. Not “unemployed” looking for a job.

Trump then lead the audience in a standing ovation for the widow of the SEAL that he sent on the misbegotten raid in Yemen. Chutzpah !

Why should he pay someone to distort the truth when he’s a master at it ?

Why fact-check when your primary intention is to deceive the audience or threaten the world ?
