I really think - in addition to experiencing extreme cognitive decline - he must have other health issues going on. I’ve seen speculation of stroke, but I don’t know if that’s it. He claims not to drink, so I don’t know if that’s it either. But he’s definitely not well on multiple levels.

My observation is that his cognitive function, speech/language, and energy level/coherence vary wildly. It makes me wonder what type of medications he is on and if there is some kind of interactions happening there. (Especially possible if he has more than one prescribing physician and they’re not in great communication.)

Right. He is def not who he was in 2020. He’s always been bat shit but we didn’t really see much of him after the election was over. He also seems different from the time he started coming back into campaigning late last year to now. He has slipped ALOT.

Remember that beautiful period of time in 2021 when Trump kind of disappeared because he was lying low after January 6 and we didn't have to hear about him every day? We didn't have to hear his stupid voice or see his orange face or think about him, ever. Let's go back to that.

Isn’t this the guy pending sentencing for 34 felonies and out on bond for other crimes? I know nothing will happen before Tuesday because nobody wants to be accused of election interference but I hope the NYC judge and the prosecutor are watching and taking notes. This man is making death threats. I think he’s a threat to society and probation is not enough.

Why people are frustrated with mainstream media: I hear about 🍊’s Albuquerque visit on social media from people who live there, Google to find a comprehensive local or national article explaining what they said about how he was denied all support from the city, police, and all possible venues, and ended up having to stay at the private part of the airport and have a rally there, because he owes the city money from his last visit years ago and this is the best I could find:

There is a local newspaper who live blogged his speech and it’s his general crazy. Go there to a blue state you’ll never win to try to get some good press with a Latino population after really pissing them off, then trash Biden, Hillary, Kamala, the border, immigrants and Aurora, CO. He ranted about an automatic death penalty for illegal immigrants who murder. FYI - The death penalty is banned in New Mexico.

In that construction vest photo, he looks like an orange dementor

So, Trump described in detail how Liz Cheney should be shot, in the face, on orders. Then he said it again. That was yesterday.

Today, Trumps says he wants to beat her up in a fight. What’s stopping him? She is. He’ll meet her anywhere but he taunting that she won’t show up.

Guys, remember how outraged Rs were when the guy not running for anything said garbage and supporters in the same sentence? Yeah, me, too. That was YESTERDAY. Where are those outraged Rs now??

Trump says he will “knock the hell out of people backstage” over mic issues at Milwaukee rally.

So, uh, evidently Trump mimicked a blow job on stage last night.

Super presidential of him. 🙄

That BJ video is unbelievable…. His decline is rapid & Ezra Klein had a great discussion about how at you are your “filter” declines and you have less ability to judge what’s appropriate or not… his filter was already basically nonexistent.

I read about it before I watched a clip and I thought people were joking and that’s just what it looked like, but nope. It’s a full on fake BJ.

Somebody please post a link to the video. DO NOT make me have to google the words Trump and blow job. I do not want that in my algorithm.

Thank you.  The comments were definitely worth watching that video, lol.

Atlantic article about Trump’s 2024 campaign

The infighting and chaos is just as awful as you imagined. Just a bunch of self-interested grifters only interested in how they can make money off the campaign and somehow elevate themselves. Some choice quotes:

Several campaign officials had told me, throughout the spring and summer, how excited they were about working in the next Trump White House. Now those same people were telling me—as paperwork was being distributed internally to begin the process of placing personnel in the transition team and in the prospective administration—that they’d had a change of heart. The past three months had been the most unpleasant of their careers. Win or lose, they said, they were done with the chaos of Donald Trump—even if the nation was not.

Stephen Miller and the aftermath of the “comedian” at MSG who was hired and vetted by a mid-level staffer Bruesewitz :

Backstage at the Garden, in the blur of debate and indecision over damage control, it was Stephen Miller who pondered the bigger picture. (Miller did not respond to a request for comment.) According to two people who were present, Miller, the Trump policy adviser whose own nativist impulses are well documented, was not offended by Hinchcliffe’s racist jokes. Yet he was angered by them all the same: He knew the campaign had just committed a huge unforced error. He believed that Bruesewitz had done profound damage to Trump’s electoral prospects. And, in that moment, he seethed at what this lack of discipline portended for Trump should he return to power.

The irony, apparently, was lost on Miller. He and his colleagues would spend the coming days savaging Bruesewitz for his recklessness when really—as ever—the culprit was a man whose addiction to mayhem creates the conditions in which a comedian who was once dropped by his talent agency for using racial slurs onstage could be invited to kick off the closing event of the election without a single objection being raised.

“If we can’t trust this kid with a campaign,” Miller said to the group, according to one of the people present, “how can we trust him in the White House?”

hmpf.... somebody's getting nervous!

Trump's anxiety builds with Election Day in sight

www.axios.com/2024/11/02/trump-anxiety-builds-election

Why it matters: Trump's restlessness has helped shape his closing strategy, including media stunts, frenetic travel and unorthodox rally locations.
Trump's anxiety is evident in late-night and early-morning calls in which he peppers aides with questions on how things are going — and whether they think he'll win.

His restlessness is shared by others in his party. Some conservatives are sounding alarms about what they see as disappointing turnout among men in early voting.

[neverfstop]

ZOMG - missed this nugget...

Trump's campaign aides convinced him to stay in the safety vest to give a speech at a rally later by telling Trump that he looks skinny in it, he revealed on stage.

[fernweh]

I know it probably won’t make a difference but tapes of Jeffrey Epstein trashing Trump have been released. If someone like that says you are a terrible person, that says a lot

I watched a bit of the rant about the mic because like others, I honestly couldn't believe he'd mimic a blowjob. Nope, totally did.

But another thing that got me is, he goes on a complete tear about how he was "blowing out" his arms because ... he had to hold a handheld microphone. He was complaining about not being able to physically handle holding a MICROPHONE for the length of a rally.

I'm imagining the right-wing hysteria about weakness and being too old, if Biden or Harris had said anything even remotely comparable. But that isn't even a blip amid all the other absolutely insane stuff he said/did at that rally. And the Fox/OAN/Newsmax crowd will never see/hear any of it.

[cous0226]

He had the lowest of low energy in NC. Saw some clips. Wow. Tired, hoarse, exhausted.

Oh and he has another one tonight in GA. He’s gonna need a lot of Diet Coke.

[livinitup]

Yes, he did. Trump dedicated an entire Truth Social tweet/truth to his feelings:

Donald J. Trump
@real.DonaldTrump

I HATE SNL

I couldn't watch yesterday's cold open enough. I *loved* Maya and Kamala just smiling and laughing when the audience started cheering like crazy when Kamala appeared. Best politician appearance and skit in For.E.Ver.

Bringing the joy back into politics.

[mrsukyankee]

He's now stating that he should have never left the office (aka taken over like a coup) and that he'd be fine with shooting journalists. WTF?

[Pom]

You look at all of these “episodes”, the chaos, the hate, the racism, the criminality, the misogyny…. I’m sad we’ve become so numb. It’s a fire hose of vile, disgusting nationalist bullshit.

And all we have to do, to make it stop, is vote.

[laladypoet]

there's a tiktok of a camera person at a Trump rally. as Trump is bragging about having zero empty seats, the camera pans the audience and shows there are, in fact, LOTS of empty seats and people are leaving. I hope that camera person has a wonderful life.

This is deeply disturbing. And it reveals what his real plan would be on day 1 - stay in office until death.

On a lighter note, I wonder what would have happened? I’d like to imagine that it would be the re-decorators as the real powerhouse behind getting him out of office, or specifically out of “the Oval office”.

“Sir, I hear that you’re not leaving. And that’s nice and all. But we have a deadline to get these curtains down and this whole place turned over by the time Biden is back from the inauguration. THERE IS A SCHEDULE! Get up! You don’t have to go home but you have got to get out of here.”

The walk back on this has been something. He was looking out for journalists, obvs.

Sure, that's what HIS dumb ass wants, but Peter Thiel and the like would make sure he doesn't finish his first term and get their Nazi puppet Vance up on top.

Trump is a puppet and a stooge.

I can't wait for the title of this thread to be changed to "Trump has melted down."

That journalist shooting comment was really something. And of course his communications guy is like "obviously he meant XYZ". No, obviously he did not.

I just can’t wait for him to slink away and never be heard from ever again.
