Donald Trump, the presumptive Republican presidential nominee, was noticeably boring during a speech Tuesday night after the latest round of primary elections.
Many criticized Trump for coming off as quiet and bland while reading from a teleprompter, something he's done more frequently in the last few months of his 2016 campaign.
Teleprompter trump is funny because he reads a couple lines then he ad libs to emphasize what he just read, but this time in his own voice.

Trump super boring when reading from TelePrompTer

But wait! Hasn't Trump blasted many of his rivals in the past for using teleprompters?
So does this mean the end of Trump blasting Clinton for using a Teleprompter? Not likely since he did so after his earlier fgn pol speech.

Why yes. Yes he has.
"@paul1994loan You would be the most straightforward Prez weve ever had. I dont see you reading prepared speeches off a teleprompter"

Hillary Clinton made a speech today using the biggest teleprompter I have ever seen. In fact, it wasn't even see through glass, it was black

Quelle horreur!
Hillary said such nasty things about me, read directly off her teleprompter...but there was no emotion, no truth. Just can't read speeches!
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) September 5, 2015
Bad performance by Crooked Hillary Clinton! Reading poorly from the telepromter! She doesn't even look presidential!
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) June 2, 2016
Trump likely wouldn't acknowledge his own teleprompter reading as "boring." Still, this subdued version of Trump is unlikely to last.
Unless Trump brings a teleprompter to every interview he does, I wouldn't get used to him talking like that

A friendly reminder that teleprompter Trump is not the real Trump. Never has been, never will be.

Editor’s note: Donald Trump regularly incites political violence and is a serial liar, rampant xenophobe, racist, misogynist and birther who has repeatedly pledged to ban all Muslims — 1.6 billion members of an entire religion — from entering the U.S.
