So I just watched the clip. Granted the clip was only a few seconds, and yes I believe he is old and senile. But.
The clip doesn’t seem to give evidence of anything specific. He might have to pee for all we know.
He’s suffering from frontotemporal dementia. This is relatively certain. The town hall was classic sundown syndrome. The fundamentalists know this and are going to have him removed from office shortly after the election (if he wins). The democrats would gladly take the opportunity to remove him, as would many republicans. Unfortunately that would put Vance in the oval office which should terrify anyone who doesn’t want to larp a handmaid’s tale.
As a European I find it utterly bewildering that people seriously consider voting for him. But alas I don’t get a say in it.
Dude there’s a whole cottage industry here that’s dedicated to trying to understand why people vote for him, and the answers are as varied as they are stupid.
But how else will podcasters, ring light, and audio equipment manufacturers make a living? Who will hear about FACTOR meals and $40 underwear with neon laser rainbow cats?
Among the bizarre topics Trump discussed was his empathy for former producer Harvey Weinstein, saying that he was treated badly after being found guilty on one count of rape and two counts of sexual assault in New York.
He recognizes fellow travelers. Creep.
Where does the word travelers come from? I have it as an ear worm from a book or something
Fellow travelers is a phrase used to denote someone who pushes or encourages an ideology or opinion without officially being part of the organization pushing it. It was originally applied to communist sympathizers but is used for other things commonly. A race science believer might be a fellow traveler with nazis but doesn’t have to be a member of the nationalist socialist workers party.
Canterbury tales maybe?
I really hate that the only people reporting anything like this are sites like rawstory and dailybeast. Meanwhile, NYT and NPR are reporting on how Kamala is testy and Trump is friendly.
Oh yeah. Seems that she’s “emotional”, unlike Trump. Think that people are probably projecting their misogyny.
I feel like the Democrats ought to be pivoting towards attacking Vance at this point. The possibility of Trump kicking the bucket from natural causes and the GOP getting a sympathy (/conspiracy-theorist) bounce in the votes this late would be devastating, so they ought to be pulling out all the stops to anticipate and mitigate that before it happens.
Bottom line, if he can’t handle the stresses of a campaign then he can’t handle the stresses of the Presidency and you can bet your life that they’re already plotting to remove him by way of the 25th amendment inside of a year. So this isn’t about Trump anymore, this is about preventing a Vance
PresidencyDictatorship.They said the same thing about Biden.
My point is it’s hypocritical made up shit.
Well I guess I won’t vote for Biden OR Clinton this election!!
Who?

Don’t you think he looks tired
Remember: the presidency ages people. How long would he be president?
Oddly, this is something that didn’t seem to happen to Trump. We all know why of course, he didn’t actually do the job of being President.
Because he doesn’t actually do any work, and only worries about himself.
In contrast, presidents like Obama and Biden age quickly because they’re actually working nonstop, and stressing out about world events.
That’s why he’s aging so fast right now… he’s working really hard to try and stay out of prison!
Donald did no work. He only watched TV, golfed, held rallies. He spent more time on the toilet producing whatever it was that took so many flushes than he did on the job.
Donald aged quickly afterwards and especially after the start of his court cases for the numerous crimes.
“Among the bizarre topics Trump discussed was his empathy for former producer Harvey Weinstein, saying that he was treated badly after being found guilty on one count of rape and two counts of sexual assault in New York.”
From the clip it’s hard to get context, but it sounds more like he was saying things that were too crazy for his handlers.
I’m shocked you didn’t clip the quote where he claimed Weinstein got “schlonged.”
lol what the fuck. I’m on set and we’re rolling sound and I almost burst out laughing when I read that line
Article says “‘They’re going crazy,’ Trump said, pointing off camera.” Which I think further strengthens your argument.
They were desperately trying to get him to not defend Weinstein. Probably trying to avoid him lighting the fuse on his own October surprise
This is a narcissistic and delusional old man who has never really participated in society as a normal human being. When he says “they”, he literally thinks there is a shadow group of people doing this. The fact that someone rich got caught committing crimes and was found guilty by “normies” is all just a part of the shadow group’s plan to allow such things to happen. He literally believes “they” could have stopped that from happening IF they wanted to, but decided not to.
Thats how i took it too
I won’t be sad when this shit stain is gone from public life.
I will be extremely sad if he leaves us with President Vance.
I just hope he doesn’t manage to run out the clock before facing consequences.
I wouldn’t bet on it, but I do hope for it.
I have never wanted a month to go by as much as I do right now
Americans are really starting to annoy me at this point
We are slowly destroying ourselves with global warming but all we’re centring our attention on is on how 400 million people can’t decide between a sane young politician or an elderly sociopath with fascist leanings to lead their country.
We’re screwed as a species
Like it or not, the US presidential election has potentially dire worldwide consequences for global warming. If you think our attention is best spent on global warming – and I would agree – then paying attention to the election is that.
Yeah don’t blame this shit on all of us, it’s like 1/3rd of the population being morons.
I get that … but that third is a pretty loud obnoxious bunch and the other 2/3rds are either too quiet, don’t speak up, don’t vote or are just completely apathetic to everything happening around them.
The problem is not the remaining 2/3rds saying or supporting one thing or another
The problem is the 2/3rds just not participating and instead just stand around and watch the world burn.
Your numbers indicate 0 Americans standing up to this bullshit, which is just false. I get you’re frustrated. So are we.
What exactly are we supposed to do except vote? Yell at them more? Look everywhere, we’re doing it
Happening all over the planet, unfortunately.
Oh, do fuck off. If you can’t look away from the spectacle, that’s a personal problem. Our problems get magnified by the media but they’re the same problems everywhere.
I had to go out and look for this video, because the link either doesn’t have it or my adblock got it, but honestly this seems like a pretty normal interview for him. I’d say this is about on-par with his interviews with people like Aiden Ross or other podcasts he’s probably unfamiliar with - he seems bored and a little unsure of his audience, but not, like, falling asleep or anything.
Idk. He seems maybe a little tired? But I wouldn’t say he ended the interview that abruptly, and Bongino seems bummed but not confused like they say in the article.
I only mention it because i’ve seen a couple headlines like this in the last few days, and i’m getting the impression that it’s not as much of a story as they’re making it out to be. Maybe they’re trying to goad him into another debate or more public appearances?
I don’t know. He’s not anywhere near the level Biden was at the peak of calls for him stepping down - and even then, most democrats still dismissed it as over-exaggerated. It certainly cheapens and makes me doubt other claims of ill-health or un-fitness.
Betteridge’s law of headlines. No, he’s not ok. And any sane, observant person has known this for a long time.
maybe he had to take a shit
He doesn’t get up to do that.
Is Trump okay?
