"America is still a nation that [...] sent a brave young man from Ohio [pause...] to a [pause...] PLANT! You know who it is, the stars and stripes on the face of the moon, you know who it is"
He couldn't bring himself to say what the teleprompter said because he knows it's not true.
He couldn’t remember the name of Neil Armstrong.
The only subtext to this situation is embarrassment.
That's possible also, but why did he stop reading the teleprompter and change the phrase so deliberately?Sent a man to a plant?
Agreed with you here. Teleprompters sometimes don't advance correctly, so he lost his place in the speech and was stalling for time with the "do you know who it is?" routine until he could resume with "There is no mountain we cannot climb!"
That’s really all this is.
And I believe that some, not all, but some of the people that post these “conspiracies” are just looking to distract people.
There are real, legitimate issues people should be looking into.
IMO, this isn’t it.
