    Is the dementia getting worse this year? I don’t think so. To some degree, he has always been this way. Revolutionary war airports and such. Trumpanzee cultists have just not been listening in prior years.

      To an authoritarian, the only true crime is weakness, and this is the first time that Trump has been truly weak since he came down that escalator. They may start talking about his mental decline, but the decline they really care about is in the polls.

      It’s always been bad, but also doesn’t stress usually make it worse?I’m sure he’s more stressed than ever, since if he loses the election he almost certainly goes to jail (assuming he lives that long), and it certainly looks like he may potentially lose if everyone gets out and votes.

    If he wasn’t a fossil, getting the state wrong would be a minor thing. With such a long series of similar mistakes, though, you really have to wonder about his mental acuity.

      I don’t wonder, I can see it plain as day - his brain is getting meltier than his face.

    Dementia DonOLD the weird racist rapist with 34 felonies is too old. The dementia is really taking its toll on him. He should drop out and seek treatment. It’s just embarrassing at this point.

    Opens mouth and words fall out, now his brain is gone. Think the glass hit the off switch to an already underdeveloped and over worded organ.

    He’s a stupid old man. But this is the sort of non-news story smear campaign for “candidate too old”. It’s the same exact story for Trump as it was for Biden a few months ago. Both may be true, but let’s stop being hypocritical.

    Also if anyone has done a traveling sales pitch, which is all he’s doing, this happens sometimes. One of the presentations I have and give to people all over the planet is basically the exact same thing for all but 1 or 2 slides because it’s “tailored for every audience”. You go on autopilot. And sometimes you seriously don’t know where you are. You get on a plane and show up. The only people that care he missed the name of the place are people too stupid to realize he doesn’t care. He doesn’t care where he is, it could be Iowa or Montana or Missouri, they’re all shithole places to him and he just wants back on his plane and to GTFO as soon as possible. These aren’t his people. He really could not care less than he does.

      He spent months, or even years, saying his political opponent was not mentally fit enough to be president, especially because of his age. He is now showing that he is the candidate who is not mentally fit enough to be president, especially because of his age. Any chance to point this out, even if the individual instance might have another explanation, is perfectly fair game.

      Although, I will agree with you, that he actually doesn’t give a shit about these people and that might explain the lapse too. But that ain’t any better.

      Yeah, this is something that happens to almost every candidate at one point or another. He has less of an excuse, because he’s not exactly barnstorming across the states, but it’s not even top 100 stupidest things he’s said.

    Fwiw, he’s looking over and pointing at a group of North Carolinians that he references right before this clip, so he wasn’t actually addressing the Pennsylvania audience. But, this sort of misleading editing and attack are the kind of thing his campaign does all the time, so, tough titty.

      I don’t know whether to agree or disagree with you. First and foremost, I don’t have the facts, so I say the following generically. We do not need misinformation to make him look bad. I am worried all of this is a ploy to BoTh SiDeS!

        Whatever the facts are, I can tell you that if you watch the video clip in the linked article you will hear a rambling man spout out unintelligible, complete and utter nonsense. Even if you give the guy the benefit of the doubt on the North Carolina thing, he still seems lost in his own train of thought

          Thank you for taking the bullet, I will not be watching that man in any capacity if I can help it. This furthers my point that we don’t need the misinformation, he’ll take care of it himself

          If you watch the rest of the accompanying clip, he’s also lost in his own grandiose vision of himself - going on about how he spoke for 2 hours and they wanted him to speak more, people are stealing his “wonderful, beautiful phrases”, etc. It’s clinically narcissistic.

      Hmm, your context sounds plausible, but people have been saying he is too old and has dementia to the point that he doesn’t know what state he is in. People have been saying his brain is melting from both age and syphilis, the Adderall abuse isn’t helping either.

    Trump is too old and senile to be President. This is pathetic, he doesn’t even know where he is. Republicans should be ashamed of themselves for nominating him, at this point it basically constitutes elder abuse.

      They abuse women and the abuse children- are you surprised they’d abuse elders too?

      But fuck them. They made this bed; they should be strapped to it for as long as possible.
