“Because of our long time history and allegiance together, it is a great honor to have the United Kingdom as our FIRST announcement. Many other deals, which are in serious stages of negotiation, to follow!”

"Allegiance" and "alliance" aren't synonyms. Neither of us has held allegiance to the other since we were part of the British Empire in the colonial era. How do you manage to dick this up? Literally all you have to do is have someone write things on paper and open your mouth and say them without improvising.

You have to have a speechwriter on-staff.

Ross Worthington worked on many of Trump’s policy speeches, but the president-elect often veered off-script.

Trump praised his speechwriters but frequently went off script and had a habit of freelancing large portions of his speeches before returning to the teleprompter.

Yeah, no kidding.

Imagine if all his stuff was actually teleprompted. I wouldn't even be surprised any more, just disappointed.
