      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.

        He’d wear contacts if that were the case. He’d just never admit to it.

        The guy’s just straight up illiterate.

    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.

      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.
