General Election 2024

in this column the reporter makes the case that Trump is in a state of cognitive decline

from the link:

"A glitch-plagued X interview (unable to start for 45 minutes) with Elon Musk, owner of the social media site, only made things worse. People on social media reflected shock at hearing him slur and ramble his way through a softball interview. His obsession with President Joe Biden, who is no longer running, sounds like Trump cannot cope with his actual opponents. A much less alarming performance in the debate effectively ended President Biden’s campaign.
Had the media been conscientiously covering Trump, the public would understand these bizarre outings as part of his noticeable cognitive decline. Trump’s sporadic appearances on the trail alone should be grist for the cable news shows. When they do discuss his mental state, it is often in the context of horserace politics. (Axios commented on his AI delusion: “Trump’s advisers and allies worry he’s spending so much time in an alternative reality that it’s undermining his real-world campaign.” How about asking hard questions about how a party can stand behind someone in an alternative reality?)"

Trump seems unable to handle reality. His opponent is beating him by multiple metrics, especially crowd size. In response, he posted several obvious lies on Truth Social, claiming that “nobody was there” and that photos and video of Vice President Kamala Harris’s crowds were AI-generated (our own reporters were eyewitnesses to the event). As lawyer and anti-Trump commentator George Conway said on MSNBC, “He has completely lost it. This post is, beyond question, delusional. But is was also inevitable because he realizes … he’s not just running for the presidency, he’s running for his freedom.”

If he is in cognitive decline and it gets to the point everyone knows it, it might be best that the CommieLa disaster go ahead and take place. It will be a complete disaster for the Dems, you see, and for the rest of us, just a bad two years before midterms. The damage will be bad for the country, but we'll recover.

The Dems may never recover. I really wonder.

In that case, let’s see how it goes. 😎

one warning sign for the Dems is the MSM may be getting tired of their role as just a submissive organ of the party

some sort of dividend went unpaid or something, and all they got out of it was an even worse reputation ... covering up Biden's health only the latest

Yawn
No candidate is perfect
This shows that the Washington post is independent
This shows that the NY Post is full of intellectual lightweights that think an independent Wash post is news. Just shows how they are part of the Trump worship cult. Can the NY post write a story critical of Trump????? Nope because they are intellectual lightweights

I'm against price controls. This is just meaningless politics that in reality will go nowhere like the Mexico will pay for a wall policy.
It's laughable to think this is a major crack
We are Dems. We don't belong to an organized party like the bend the knee Trump republicans
I'm still voting for Harris
It's a no Brainer. No way I want Trump tariffs back. I support the free market

Possibly the saddest thing you will see today.

Donny shared some AI photos of “Swifties for Trump” and wrote “I accept!”



Meanwhile, you know Taylor is going to endorse Kamala sometime this fall and MAGA is going to absolutely lose their minds.

You mean the North Carolina Gig?

Maybe he uses AI to airbrush them out? In some perverse attempt at lulling Kamala into a false sense of security.

.
more bizarre chatter from Trump -
claiming he was in a helicopter that almost crashed with former San Fran Mayor Willie Brown
and that Brown said disparaging things about Kamala
.
Brown says that never happened - and is threatening to sue Trump

also, Trump is calling or insinuating that Kamala is a "Communist"

that's amusing since Trump has many times expressed his admiration for Vladimir Putin

Trump can overlook Putin being a leader of a Communist country because he's a Dictator and Trump loves Dictators and wishes he could be one
