   is there a reason the white house uses a sign language interpreter instead of subtitles

     @sun Might be a holdover. The interpreter is signing for the live audience, but even that seems backwards in the world of cheap screens.
     
     Another more sinister reason is they might not want an official script being shown, and having a signer means you keep the mistakes in that department restricted to the deaf.

     @maxtepafray signing for live audience is a plausible explanation, thanks

     @sun because capital D deaf people are like that and are also really obnoxious.
