Bumbling Trump, 79, Reads Private Note Out Loud

President Donald Trump fumbled his way through a very public senior moment while meeting with oil and gas executives at the White House on Friday, when he read aloud a private note handed to him by the Secretary of State.

Commandeering a roundtable with the heads of more than a dozen major oil companies, including Chevron, ExxonMobil, and ConocoPhillips, Trump was slipped a personal note by Secretary of State Marco Rubio in what appeared to be an effort to get the president back on track.
