“We will institute the powerful death penalty for drug dealers, where each dealer is responsible for the death, during their lives, of 500 people or more,” he said.

"Mothers will never again be forced to watch their children overdosing in hosp … and we will never allow mothers to watch their child hopelessly dying in their arms screaming, ‘What can I do, what can I do? Help me God, what can I do?’ We are a nation whose once revered airports are a dirty, crowded mess,” Trump continued, pivoting suddenly.

“You sit and wait for hours and then are notified that the plane won’t leave, that they have no idea when they will. Where ticket prices have tripled. They don’t have the pilots to fly the planes, they don’t seek qualified air traffic controllers, and they just don’t know what the hell they are doing.”

“We will take over the horribly run capital of our nation in Washington, D.C., and clean it up, renovate it, and rebuild our capital city, so that it is no longer a nightmare of murder and crime. But rather it will become the most beautiful capital anywhere in the world,” Trump said.

“Right now, if you leave Florida, ‘Oh, let’s go, darling, let’s look at the Jefferson Memorial, let’s look at the Washington Monument, let’s go and look at some of the beautiful scenes,’ and you end up getting shot, mugged, raped,” he warned, promising that he’d run the city “tough and smart.”

That’s because of his diminished cognitive capacity.

Voters are demanding that trump step down and let another candidate take his place. It’s all over the Internet. I heard he can’t even tie his shoes anymore.

Well, he was asleep a lot of the time he was being convicted of being a felon so he is probably as tired as he looks.

Trump looks, talks, and acts like someone who has had a series of strokes. As well has having mini ones like during his speeches. Sadly, most republicans are still lower than him in cognitive ability.

People say it all the time, they tell him, he’s got the best dementia, historic really. No airport could ever outshine his monumental brain fog.

What slide? He was this incoherent during his presidency. This has been his way of communicating the entire time, and yet people die for him.

The cynic in me believes that the Republicans calling for Biden to have a drug test before the debate was good old projection, and Trump was the one who was actually hopped up on drugs. Can’t ride that pharmaceutical train all the time though.

That’s his secret of success. He has the unique ability to fervently believe his own lies. If some other fucker like Cruz or DeSantis lies, you can always see they’re aware of it and cringing inside. That’s why they are never perceived as “authentic” by the moron base.

Dont forget Trump purged the RNC leadership and replaced it with his daughter-in-law. Trump can have his pants fall down on stage, exposing his very full adult diaper, and Republicans will shit themselves in solidarity.

Are those real Trump supporters and not detractors? It’s really doing me in to believe Trump supporters think that looks good for his “strong man” appearance.
