      Donald Trump strikes me like nothing so much as a man who has never really known a love that he hasn’t had to pay for — Snowden

          The best part about that burn, is that Trump and most MAGA’s probably wouldn’t even register it as an insult. “they’d be real upset if they could read”.

            It doesn’t even need to be an illiteracy or stupidity jab. A big part of that world sees love as something for wimps who can’t afford the actual nice things in life. The things that are flashy on the surface but hollow inside, just like them.

    Trump is too old and senile to be President. This is pathetic, he doesn’t even know where he is. Republicans should be ashamed of themselves for nominating him, at this point it basically constitutes elder abuse.

      They abuse women and the abuse children- are you surprised they’d abuse elders too?

      But fuck them. They made this bed; they should be strapped to it for as long as possible.

    You can always tell when he is and isn’t on teleprompter. He’s Trump when he’s off teleprompter and just running off at the mouth. But when he tries to read from a teleprompter, he’s like a kid forced to read his book report to the class – bland, lifeless, monotone, and struggling to read the big words. Most often with his head down and looking like he’s being forced to read it under threat of torture. Watch his recent NJ speech for a couple of minutes. You can identify the exact moment when he goes off teleprompter.

      I would, but that’s a couple minutes more than I can stand. Given that I don’t want to stab my eardrums with an icepick, I’m going to trust you on this one.

      That’s the fucking point.

      “Politics” are just shit you say from a Teleprompter. Trump is “honestly” pointing out to his audience that most of what he says is just political bullshit, and that’s why he’s got a huge following.

      I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again. We have an entire generation of problems as the pro-Trump crowd is so anti-government and anti-politics that they vote for Trump. When Trump dies, this generation of voters will remain. Keep the eye on the prize and the long term problem, we need to not only win in 2024 but also 2026, 2028, etc. etc. until this movement dissipates (or if it never dissipates, then we need to win forever more).

      I think that’s because he can’t really read.

      He’s just a bully class clown who’s managed to get that far without actually learning to read.

      I think he needs glasses to read and that’s why he goes off script so much. He thinks wearing glasses is a sign of weakness or something.

    Trump confused some in the audience with what appeared to be a claim that if Harris could become the candidate without a primary election, then so should he because he is so popular among Republicans.

    “I said, so why are we having an election? They didn’t have an election. Why are we having an election?” he said.

    . . . Wut?

      This is much more unusual than misremembering what state he is in. The state thing seems to happen to everyone, the ekction thing, not so much 🤔

            Indeed, and perhaps not a fan of elections at all…

            He’s on record saying both that he’ll be a dictator and that if he wins you won’t have to vote again. He’s pretty overt about his hatred for our country.

    If he wasn’t a fossil, getting the state wrong would be a minor thing. With such a long series of similar mistakes, though, you really have to wonder about his mental acuity.

    Is the dementia getting worse this year? I don’t think so. To some degree, he has always been this way. Revolutionary war airports and such. Trumpanzee cultists have just not been listening in prior years.

      It’s always been bad, but also doesn’t stress usually make it worse?I’m sure he’s more stressed than ever, since if he loses the election he almost certainly goes to jail (assuming he lives that long), and it certainly looks like he may potentially lose if everyone gets out and votes.

      To an authoritarian, the only true crime is weakness, and this is the first time that Trump has been truly weak since he came down that escalator. They may start talking about his mental decline, but the decline they really care about is in the polls.

        Believe me, I hesitated, but look at them side by side, it was just too close. Now imagine trump with his actual hair (or lack of hair) and it’s uncanny.

      Yeah, this is something that happens to almost every candidate at one point or another. He has less of an excuse, because he’s not exactly barnstorming across the states, but it’s not even top 100 stupidest things he’s said.

    Dementia DonOLD the weird racist rapist with 34 felonies is too old. The dementia is really taking its toll on him. He should drop out and seek treatment. It’s just embarrassing at this point.

    Fwiw, he’s looking over and pointing at a group of North Carolinians that he references right before this clip, so he wasn’t actually addressing the Pennsylvania audience. But, this sort of misleading editing and attack are the kind of thing his campaign does all the time, so, tough titty.

      I don’t know whether to agree or disagree with you. First and foremost, I don’t have the facts, so I say the following generically. We do not need misinformation to make him look bad. I am worried all of this is a ploy to BoTh SiDeS!

        Whatever the facts are, I can tell you that if you watch the video clip in the linked article you will hear a rambling man spout out unintelligible, complete and utter nonsense. Even if you give the guy the benefit of the doubt on the North Carolina thing, he still seems lost in his own train of thought

          If you watch the rest of the accompanying clip, he’s also lost in his own grandiose vision of himself - going on about how he spoke for 2 hours and they wanted him to speak more, people are stealing his “wonderful, beautiful phrases”, etc. It’s clinically narcissistic.

      Hmm, your context sounds plausible, but people have been saying he is too old and has dementia to the point that he doesn’t know what state he is in. People have been saying his brain is melting from both age and syphilis, the Adderall abuse isn’t helping either.
