#BREAKING: Psaki: “So last night during Trump’s big flop of an address, someone very important was missing, a trusted person in Trump’s circle who is usually present for all of his speeches…I’m talking of course about Trump’s personal teleprompter operator a guy named Gabriel Perez, who Trump reportedly found in 2016 after someone on his campaign googled the word teleprompters—I’m like really not kidding on that. Now, the reason why Mr Perez was not the one scrolling through Trump’s scripted remarks is because he is currently under investigation for this, allegedly making more than $100,000 placing bets on the Kalshi prediction market, specifically on what Trump would say in his speeches, speeches that a teleprompter operator would most certainly have early access to” 🙄
