    The guy is now claiming he’s the father of IVF.

    This is like in Austin Powers when Dr. Evil talks about how his father would claim to have invented the question mark

  2. And yet because of the Electoral College this race will be tight and within the margin-of-error. 🫠

    Trump is melting before our eyes.

    > The performance, coming a day after a Trump “town hall” devolved into the Republican nominee meandering on stage for 39 awkward and alarming minutes as his fans listened to his favorite songs, did not reassure critics who say the former president’s recent behavior is a sign of cognitive decline. The Republican nominee was never one for specifics, or staying on message, but his claimed “weave” — rambling about something else before returning to the topic at hand — appears less intentional and more like a man experiencing the inevitable effects of aging.

    >“Should Google be broken up?” interviewer John Micklethwait, editor in chief of Bloomberg News, asked Trump on Tuesday.

    >Trump’s immediate response, in full:

    >*”I just haven’t gotten over something the Justice Department did yesterday, where Virginia cleaned up its voter rolls and got rid of thousands and thousands of bad votes. And the Justice Department sued them, that they should be allowed to put those bad votes and illegal votes back in and let the people vote. So I haven’t — I haven’t gotten, I haven’t gotten over that. A lot of people have seen that and they can’t even believe it.”*
    […]

    >“The question is about Google, President Trump,” Micklethwait reminded the 78-year-old Republican (as for the Justice Department: It is indeed suing Virginia after it said the state, ostensibly targeting immigrants, illegally purged scores of U.S. citizens from its voter database).

    >Given a second chance, Trump talked not about Google parent company Alphabet and its hold over online advertising, for example, but how he personally had been wronged.

    >*“They’re very bad to me,” Trump said. “I’m getting a lot of good stories lately, but you don’t find them in Google. I think it’s a rigged deal. I think Google’s rigged, just like our government is rigged all over the place.”*

  4. “He is one cloudless night away from baying at the moon,” David Rothkopf said of Trump, as quoted by Heather Cox Richardson.

  5. Let’s just recap Donald’s playlist: he definitely doesn’t have a cholesterol issue, everything is rigged against him, immigrants are animals, he hates everyone who even thinks about Kamala, and he will make this economy better by driving prices even higher via tariffs, promise anything for a vote but won’t promise anything. Oh, and music good, dance dance shuffle shuffle 1/16th of a turn, wave, smile, close eyes, imagine being with lover Putin.

  6. Can I just say it? Who the hell has candid photos like this other than him?

    Like, I would be so f-ing embarrassed if anyone ever caught me with this bizarre posture, just screaming into the void.

    Maybe I’m just cognitive biasing but I can’t think of one time me or anyone I’m friendly with or willingly related to has ever been able to be captured on camera like this.

    Trump-simps are as “out of commission” as he is so, to those people, he’s highly articulate, forms cohesive arguments and is a stable genius.

    You can see why they dislike Harris – they can’t understand her at all.

    trump is a fool, he tosses out red meat to the ugly half of the country, has no real ideas or policies. He has only revenge on his mind for every slight he feels he has endured.

    Trump was asked specifically how he would reduce/remove government spending and rambled for 5 mins about air force one.

  10. Man up and say it main stream media, stop sanespalining and sane washing him, say the actual words! Donald Trump has donkey brains.

  11. This is the best tl;dr I could make, [original](https://www.salon.com/2024/10/16/his-brain-is-completely-out-of-commission-moderator-repeatedly-calls-out-for-rambling/) reduced by 89%. (I’m a bot)

    > Speaking at the Economic Club of Chicago on Tuesday, an unfocused and irritable Donald Trump botched answers to basic questions about how his agenda would impact American businesses and consumers while not denying that he has been having phone calls with Russian President Vladimir Putin.

    > "Trump Schools Bloomberg Editor on Tariffs," the right-wing outlet Breitbart assured its readers, citing the exchange where Trump called his interviewer, The Wall Street Journal and over a dozen Nobel laureates "Wrong" but at no point explained why.

    > "His brain is completely out of commission," conservative attorney George Conway posted on social media regarding Trump's scattered responses.

  12. It seems like with the Town Hall now everyone is questioning his sanity and now it’s becoming all too clear that something is up with him. I agree too.

    Apparently, some psychology professor at Cornell agrees that he is clearly cognitively declining…https://as.cornell.edu/news/trumps-abrupt-decision-play-dj-sign-accelerating-cognitive-decline-says-cornell-expert. When an expert even says that you are declining and even some supporters at an event bring up concern, you know it is bad.

  13. the way this feels like i’m trapped in some kind of fever dream-nightmare. i saw someone earlier saying that kamala has promised to get your kids taken away if you won’t let them transition, and all of the comments totally believed it

    Has anyone seen a close up of him lately? He looks like shit, reportedly smells like shit and his racist asshole brain is so fried he can’t deliver a complete sentence. And one third of the country supports this moron, smh.

  15. My wife says Trump is doing this to avoid jail time due to senility. He knows he’s going to lose and finally have to pay the piper. I don’t buy it, but I like her thinking.

  16. I hear he has a worm eating his brain. That’s what people are saying. Probably have gone already. Some people are saying it’s totally gone.

  17. The scariest part, it that he has a vey GOOD shot at winning. He’s laying the groundwork to spread doubt in the public eye and the courts already. He doesn’t care about votes. He has all but said it and acts as though votes don’t matter. He has a plan to win without votes. So I hope to god the dems have a plan for him, cause he’s not going to play by the typical rules. Dems need a plan.

  18. Remember when something like this would have cost someone an election? Pepperidge Farm remembers.
