Yep. I was a Press Secretary for two years and spent some time at the White House and State Department watching the big guys do it.
You pick on reporters from a list and you have paper in front of you (or a big binder) with written out questions and answers to give.
It's not just Washington DC, big city mayors do this too (once there was a minor scandal when Mayor Bloomberg of New York left his Press Book behind and someone swiped it).

Guys ease up. He is aware they were doing it, but I dont think we realized he had to have a picture of the person, the pronunciation of their name, the question in full and his response. Thats pretty sad.

I mean, at this point if he doesn’t have a hand shoved up his arse forcing his lips to move, I’m impressed.
Aside from the cheat sheet he has an ear piece feeding him what to say and likely a teleprompter in front of him too.

I have experience with setting up events for mid level military leaders (local/base stuff) and have had advanced notice of questions that are going to be asked - it’s quite common.
I’ve also given a few speeches though I have never had a big Q and A - I make sure to have a cheat sheet or itinerary so if I get lost or a squirrel moment I have something to re-cage me.
I don’t think it’s weird at all to have the pronunciations of peoples’ names, especially if it’s a hard name to pronounce.
If you don’t have a cheat sheet you’re either a gosh dang savant or an idiot. There aren’t a lot of savants out there….

Scenario 1
Journalists to Trump: (asks question) aha! Bet you didn’t see that question coming.
Trump: (rambling long-winded answer with tangents, but actually gets around to answering the question off the top of his head)
Journalist: (interrupting) But, what about…. What about …??
Scenario 2
Journalists to Biden: (asks question verbatim from manuscript)
Biden: (reads the answer). Adds “look, folks” and “come on, man” every so often. Without manuscript, just turns and walks away.
Journalist: nods in agreement

For this president? Yes. For past ones not really and I am safe to say never a Republican.

This article has three instances where Trump used a cheat sheet to include answers to questions.

You are a prime example of why there should be some measure of basic cerebral function in order to vote.

How can ANYONE pull the lever for that man.....do they not know he is charge of your life!

A presser with only 2 questions and a cheat sheet with the reporters face, question, and answer on it. What a load of shite. I felt bad for the ROK guy who must've felt like a stooge.
