Remember when Trump was crowing about how Biden was too old and confused to be president? More projection, it turns out.

I can’t wait for the media to suggest Trump is unfit and should drop out to allow vance to run for president. Oh wait …

>The 78-year-old first confused the leaders of North Korea and Iran, and then suggested that 34 soldiers who suffered traumatic brain injuries from an Iranian attack during his presidency were merely experiencing “headaches.”
>In a post on X, Sen. Brian Shatz, D-Hawaii, said Trump’s confused speech in Milwaukee, along with his withdrawal from “60 Minutes,” is enough to wonder “if there’s actually something going on.”
>”I think it’s reasonable to watch this clip, add the withdrawal from a 60 minutes interview, and wonder if there’s something actually going on. I don’t know- maybe he’s fine, but it’s not a wacky or nasty thing to inquire about,” he wrote, linking to video of Trump’s speech.
But his supporters will believe he was just wading through flood waters to save people and definitely not in a steep cognitive decline.

He can’t stand letting people see what a pants shitting dotard he is.

The TBIs as “headaches” should be the focus of every news cycle. That’s just gross

Many people, some of the best people, are talking about Trump’s obvious cognitive decline and low energy. It’s sad, really. People come up to me and ask “Sir, are you aware Trump is losing it?” I say yes, but do have you noted how well still applies his daily makeup? Few people know this but he just uses a spatula. Amazing. Not a big one; a small one but still, a spatula!

trump has seen internal data and knows he is gonna lose.
> "After initially accepting 60 Minutes' request for an interview with Scott Pelley, former President Trump's campaign has decided not to participate. Pelley will address this Monday evening. Our election special will broadcast the Harris interview on Monday as planned," the network said in a statement.
> Sources told CNN that CBS news anchor Scott Kelley was indeed scheduled to interview Trump at his Mar-a-Logo club on Thursday, as well as attend a Trump rally in Pennsylvania on Saturday.
Hurry up and start convicting this guy before he’s too far gone to realize he’s locked up sharing a cell with a guy called “Bubba”.

Within the first term th yeah will 25th him. Only reason JD is on the ticket.

Or maybe Vance will invoke the 25th?

He’s done doing genpop stuff entirely – the campaign knows that all he can do is get people to vote for Harris because dems win with increased voter turnout. They are not trying to increase turnout, they’re just keeping the base lubed up to vote
No one should be surprised at this or suggest that he’s scared – this is a campaign decision plain and simple
hollimer on
if he wins there’s no way he finishes his term. probably issues a blanket pardon to himself, resigns, and hops on his trump plane to moscow by January 22nd.

I’m sure the media will spend the next month questioning Trump’s mental fitness to be president.
Oh, wait, it’s just “Trump being Trump.” Never mind.

*checks the calendar” Hm, October surprise time. Maybe the Biden vs Trump will continue it’s evolution to Harris vs Vance.

That’s just called an “interview.”

Just back out of the election, Donald.

He won’t debate and he’s unlikely to do any interviews outside Fox, Newsmax etc because his rhetoric has become more bonkers and simultaneously somehow more authoritarian. It’s a bad combo that he absolutely doesn’t want to be taken to task over.

trump is too old. donOLD has mental acuity problems.

CBS said the primetime special will go forward in some fashion. Great! How about a montage of all the fucked up shit Trump has done during, and after his presidency. Although, it would be technically impossible to fit it all in a 60 minutes episode.

Wait he declined a CBS interview? The CBS that isn’t fact checking the debate?

Did he claim bone spurs again?

Dude fell asleep repeatedly in his felony trial where he was found guilty. How the actual fuck is his name still appearing in the news?!
