Meh. When I read a quotation, I often say “end quote” or something to clarify when I’m done quoting

How else when speaking do you signify the end of a quote you’re quoting?

By saying who I am quoting? That's usually how you start or end a quote.

"Abraham Lincoln said: Ain't no Democrat like a dead Democrat."

or

"Shoot that filthy Democrat right between the nuts! Abraham Lincoln addressing the troops."

Yeah but he is readingoff a teleprompter - it’s different than quoting someone

How is it different from reading off of a paper copy? Quoting is quoting... a lot of times you still want to clarify when you’re done reciting a quote from someone else

Because he isn’t reporting.

He’s reading a speech, and he is also reading the punctuation, or perhaps he got confused mid sentence and thought it was a quote and not just the body of his speech.

Because the total and complete connotation of a teleprompter is that it's text which can go anywhere, on the USB, on the Excel Document, Etched in a rock, not that it's Prepared

Literally this. I wasn't aware this wasn't common. If he is not quoting then I don't know what he's doing - the snippet was cut to 7 seconds and I don't feel like looking for the whole speech. I already made this mistake once w/ the Kenosha appearance...holy fuck was that terrible to watch.
