The former president repeatedly misspoke during a speech on Wednesday.

Speaking in Long Island on Wednesday, Donald Trump was as bombastic and boastful as ever—but also slurred his words on several occasions.

Trump stumbled over words like “migrants” and “Russia” and had trouble stringing sentences together. In another instance, Trump said he was “greater even than Elvis” because unlike the King, he doesn’t have a guitar—a riff that has increasingly featured in his speeches.

But does it matter? His boot-lickers would follow him into a burning inferno.

Unfortunately, this seems to already be happening. The inferno they’re making is the United States.

His followers don’t matter, they are a lost cause.

People who vote party lines or don’t really pay attention might be disuaded from voting for him if they are teminded often enough that his cognitive decline might be a reason to not vote for him. Mainly the unaffiliated voters who don’t think about things too much and Republicans who want competent evil candidates.

The cognitive issues might be a dealbreaker for those voters.

Republicans who want competent evil candidates.

Pretty sure they see Donald as the useful idiot. They’ll vote for him no matter what, because his winning is the best chance to keep their dying party able to cheat its way into the next competent evil leader.

He’s about the same shape of Elvis at the end

— also probably around the same amount of amphetamine usage

— the hair is vaguely similar

— there’s a fairly decent chance Trump could die while on the toilet like Elvis

However, Trump can’t sing, can’t play guitar and is the worst dancer since Karl Rove.

While he has always had incoherent rambling since 2016. It is getting worse over time. Instead of switching aubjects at the end of sentences, he is changing midsentence and having trouble with simple words.

He didn’t have issues with saying ‘migrant’ 8 years ago, but that word is throwing him for a loop regularly now.

He’s better at some times and not others, though. He wasn’t this bad at the debates.

He kept saying that Biden must be in drugs to stay awake, it makes me wonder what kind of amphetamines Trump is taking.

I didn’t watch the first debate, but he was absolutely having cognative issues at the one with Harris. He gets worse without interruptions.

He could take a dump on stage and they wouldn’t care. As long as he hates the right people. I have a ton of “I’m voting for the felon” signs in my area. I was baffled that anyone a supported him openly after that shit show of a debate. I’d be embarrassed.

That is like being baffled that someone remains religious after “reading the Bible”. Everyone is reading from just a few select passages that suit them while ignoring what the rest say and imply about them and their religion.
