Can you turn 150 pages into a 5 minute presentation before a meeting?

Failing to prepare is preparing to fail, and I fear that is your problem! You are overwhelmed and don't have a clue where to start.

Lots of the writing will be blah blah blah so ignore it. It's the who, where, when, why and how much that counts, usually.

If necessary send something to everyone in advance again with highlights you want to emphasise or hand something out at the end.

If your only job was to make people laugh at you and that’s all you were good for, would you be depressed?

Control the room by starting I am xx here to discuss xxx and will answer questions at the end of my presentation.

Use diagrams or photos with simple key points

Now working as an English language teacher I teach students to give presentations to get good exam results and am currently teaching Algerian trainee pilots to give presentations, describe a photo, read a taxt and summarise it and to answer questions on all 3 disciplines.

Why do Democrats never produce a good argument for why Trump was a bad president?

Personally yes, I could as I have worked on sakes and marketing, so gave many presentations on a variety of subjects.

Use the 4 point plan. Introduction, good points, bad points and conclusion.

With no knowledge of the subject, or your level of English, giving presentations and editing it's hard to say!
