If a student in 9th grade held a presentation like that, i would not be happy with them. Constantly looking down at the paper, random pauses mid-sentence when forgetting how the sentence they just started will end and of course clearly having no idea what the words she is about to speak will be.
One would expect that for a position like white house press secretary, there would be a lot of applicants to choose from. I'd assume that being good at presenting stuff should be very important for that job? Why not choose someone who can do that? Most of my 9th grade students would do better.

Spare yourself the rest, it doesn't get any better. Public speaking is a skill and normally i won't hold it against anyone having problems with it but she's the goddamn press secretary.
