(the detail is that he’s talking about how she self-identifies rather than her appearance itself, but that would ruin a perfectly good nottheonion moment)

I remember when Donald Trump suddenly became a “Republican” when he was a registered Democrat.

He flipped because he knew the Republican base is easily duped/conned.

In a 2004 interview, Trump told CNN’s Wolf Blitzer: “In many cases, I probably identify more as Democrat”, explaining: “It just seems that the economy does better under the Democrats than the Republicans. Now, it shouldn’t be that way. But if you go back, I mean it just seems that the economy does better under the Democrats…But certainly we had some very good economies under Democrats, as well as Republicans. But we’ve had some pretty bad disaster under the Republicans.”[5]

Well that was strangely coherent. Still more words than necessary mind.

If you watch interviews with him when he was younger, his cognitive decline is shocking. He still comes across as sleazy asshole though.

Even as late as the 2016 RNC debate. He was speaking coherently, responding to opponents, making logical points. He was still lying and promising to do terrible things, but he seemed in control of himself and I could see how some conservatives might call him charismatic even.

Nowadays he just kind of picks a vibe and spews out words vaguely related, and the audience projects what they want him to mean onto it.

Yes, amazing what 20 years can do. He’s definitely sundowning.

The habitual drug abuse, no sport except for golf (because the body is a battery and you die earlier from sport according to him) and an exklusive diet of coke and hamberders probably didn’t help either.

You know that stupid flat grin he makes. It’s the same same infants make when they fill their diapers with the inevitable consequence of being fed.

He totally shits himself live and on camera and it’s a miracle the hot mics haven’t caught it yet

His motorcade went by my work on the way to this implosion. People were outside flicking them off. Unironically based and patriot-pilled 🇺🇸

TBH, I’m really glad he’s dumb enough to try and speak at events like this. No one in his life ever holds him to account for his words and decisions, and someone finally did and his cognitive decline went into overdrive.

If only we could get CNN and Fox to speak to him this way during debates.

He is confused thinks Harris is Hailey. Saw that comment on another post and thought that makes so much sense. He fucking weird and a confused old man.

No he’s not. Kamala is open about her Indian heritage… https://youtube.com/watch?v=xz7rNOAFkgE

There is nothing wrong with mentioning her heritage that she openly identifies with. However, being so focused on race at all is just disgusting in general.

Her Indian heritage is so well documented (https://people.com/all-about-kamala-harris-parents-donald-harris-shyamala-gopalan-7974352 as an example) that it’s a bit disingenuous to claim that Trump is confused based on this fact. It’s also well known that after her parents divorced that she stayed with her Mother primarily. It could even make sense that she identifies more as Indian rather than “black” (Jamaican in this case)…

TL;DR: He’s not confused, he’s just an asshole.

That’s maybe the best thing about this farce of an election.

There is at least one basic guideline for being president now: the ability to think coherently, and we’re starting to normalize publicizing very real concerns about 80 year-old brains doing what 80 year-old brains do.

Just ONE fucking time I want to see him held accountable for ANYTHING. It just seems that he’s lived his life in this magical consequence-free bubble, that isn’t even fully explained by being rich or being the president.

I have no idea how he manages it, but it’s almost like he could shit on his desk in the oval office during a live address, and half the population of the US would still cheer and applaud

Same, but after 10 years of watching him get away with everything, this is what we have to settle for unfortunately.
