Watch the video again. He is reading a fully scripted speech from the TelePrompTer which are placed on his left and right. For the first time he is not looking in front. His minders have told him to stick strictly to the script to avoid getting into the usual mess with his off the cuff comments. I am actually surprised he stayed the course.

Ivanka had a big part in crafting Trump’s speech to Congress

Ivanka had a big part in crafting Trump’s speech to Congress
Ivanka Trump pressed her father to include a softer touch in his address to Congress and focus on her pet issues, such as family leave, child care and environmental protection.
A senior administration official said President Trump’s eldest daughter worked with speech-writer Stephen Miller up until “the afternoon of the speech, including the paragraph on paid family leave . . . women’s health . . . clean air and clean water,” Axios reported on Wednesday.
The president highlighted those issues in his Tuesday speech to a joint session of Congress, which was hailed by the GOP but received less warmly by Democrats, who faulted the lack of details.
“My administration wants to work with members in both parties to make child care accessible and affordable, to help ensure new parents have paid family leave, to invest in women’s health and to promote clean air and clean water,” he said.
A senior White House official told Axios that campaign spokeswoman Hope Hicks and others had input as well.
“It was Hope’s idea to add the up-front line about how ‘we are a country that stands united in condemning hate and evil in all of its very ugly forms,’ ” the official said in an e-mail to the Web site.
Trump had caught heat from critics who said he was slow to condemn anti-Semitic vandalism and bomb threats against Jewish community centers, as well as the murder of an Indian man and the wounding of a second by a white racist in Kansas.
The official also provided more detail on Ivanka’s role.
“A week ago, Ivanka and Dina Powell [senior counselor for economic initiatives] met with the president on those parts of the speech with Steve Miller and Hope and talked about those issues and how they would resonate in an important way,” the official said.
Meanwhile, other key advisers influenced Trump’s speech, despite White House insistence he penned it almost entirely himself.
Chief strategist Steve Bannon and counselor Kellyanne Conway also had a say, reports said.
A senior White House official also told CNN that Trump himself overruled his national security adviser, H.R. McMaster, who urged him not to use the phrase “radical Islamic terrorism.”
Still, the Ivanka-inspired pro-environmental lines raise eyebrows because it contradicted her father’s actions.
For example, Trump has signed an executive order rolling back an environmental regulation in the Clean Water Act, saying it “has truly run amok” and created a burden on farmers and ranchers.
He targeted what’s known as the “Waters of the United States rule,” by asking EPA officials to review the regulation to determine how it hampers economic growth. The Obama-era rule says the feds have authority to prevent pollution from affecting small bodies of water such as streams, wetlands and rivers.
“With today’s executive order, I’m directing the EPA to take action paving the way for the elimination of this very destructive and horrible rule,” Trump said.
Opponents, like environmental group Earthjustice, said Trump is “demonstrating that he puts the interests of corporate polluters above the public’s health.”
On Feb. 16, Trump put the kibosh on another Obama regulation that protects waterways from coal-mining waste.
“This is a major threat to your jobs and we’re going to get rid of this threat,” Trump said at the executive order signing.
