Trump Breaks Down Onstage
www.theatlantic.com
At a campaign event last night, Trump got bored—and weirdness ensued.

The election is in three weeks, and Pennsylvania is a must-win state for both Trump and Kamala Harris, but during a rally last night in Montgomery County, northwest of Philadelphia, Trump got bored with the event, billed as a “town hall,” and just played music for almost 40 minutes, scowling, smirking, and swaying onstage. Trump is no stranger to surreal moments, yet this was one of the oddest of his political career.

This kind of behavior would have resulted in discussion of dementia and Alzheimers if it was a Democrat.

          It’s just kinda weird to me to hold up this as a refutation to the idea that “both sides are the same” when this specific thing is purely about aesthetics.

            It’s not aesthetics. It’s very obviously a mental issue. Almost certainly Alzheimer’s/dementia. If Biden had done this on the campaign trail every media outlet would be calling it what it is.

              What makes you think this wasn’t a conscious or cognizant decision?

                It’s so incredibly obvious to me and pretty much anyone with a functioning brain that there is no point in trying to explain it to you. It’s very obvious where your bias lies here.

                  The liberal position is that dancing means you have brain damage and if you don’t agree you’re the enemy. Interesting tact.

                So it’s “he doesn’t have dementia he’s just retarded” then? Because that was either mental decline or he’s just a fucking paint chip eater.

                  Real classy language you got there.

                  No, dancing doesn’t indicate any sort of cognitive impairment at all. There’s plenty of legitimate shit to criticize him for, this is just petty bullshit.
