The White House has spent close to $100,000 of taxpayer money (violating another campaign pledge in the process, this one to end no-bid contracting and mandate a competitive bidding process on all jobs valued at over $25,000) to apparently help Dear Leader learn how to successfully read from his security blanket teleprompter.
