    The sanewashing of this is infuriating. That was NOT normal. He stopped answering questions so he could sway in place for 45 fucking minutes.

  2. His campaign is working overtime to make sure he doesn’t implode in front of people. This is the best they can do, just sway to the music and say almost nothing

    If Biden did this it would be talked about for a week straight on the 24 hour networks.

    I’m noticing a lot more asymmetry in his face, especially when he moves his mouth.

    You know those insanely obvious AI photos of trump like walking through flood waters, or repairing power lines? Yeah click around on some of his supporters Facebook profiles and the posts they make. they actually believe those are real images. They are literally praising him for being on the ground and getting his hands dirty while kamala is no where to be found. These are the idiots who make up his base, and they do not care that he is swaying in place instead of taking questions.

    This needs to be on the front of the NY Times. The man has officially, and completely, lost it.

  7. This makes it clear why his handlers are hiding him from interviews and debates. His campaign wants voters to see as little of him as possible.

  8. “Let’s not do any more questions. Let’s just listen to music. Let’s make it into a music fest. Who the hell wants to hear questions right? Isn’t that beautiful?”

    bro what, who the hell wants to hear questions???? that’s what a town hall is for???

  9. [Watch Commander] Sir, Finland, ahem Mr President. AHEM, Mr President? Sir, Finland is reporting Russian light infantry probing the border.

    [DJT] Cue: _Veronica_, _Living on a Prayer_, and _Pyust Cvida_. {Picks up phone} Stop calling this line, we’re having sorta a music fest.

    Donald Trump is a wicked evil man so I don’t particularly care what happens to him or his mental state BUT from a purely moral standpoint this is elder abuse. Nobody in his camp cares enough about him to help him. Where’s his wife??(rhetorical question I know she hates his guts) even his most deluded followers must have a flash of “oh he’s not ok” right?!?

  11. Everyone needs to see this. He does not pass up the opportunity to monologue to his audience.
    And rather than doing his favorite thing he’s bobbing his head with an utterly blank look on his face. People are just standing there watching it happen. I’ve never seen him not talk this much.

    Nothing says Republican rally more than people dancing along to a song about men hooking up with other men at the YMCA

  13. He had an event where people were passing out.. then he stupidly tried to spin passing out as a good thing, like when he tried to spin Covid because he thought it would hurt him to mess up the economy by putting people first. Then, his geriatric ass refused to answer any more questions *in a friendly environment* in favor of playing music made by people who hate him and have asked him to stop playing their music. Do you remember when Howard Dean got forced out of a race for making a ‘WOO’ noise? This is 1000x worse than that.

    I’m sick of this Sanewashing Bullshit! Fuck the News Media

  15. I’ve watched the video. I really don’t understand it. And I’ve never seen anything like it. He just stands on stage occasionally lip syncing and swaying to random songs while everyone stands around doing nothing. For a long, long time. What is supposed to be happening? What is this? It’s so fucking weird, legitimately. is there some explanation beyond the idea that he’s just insane?

  16. So, earlier in the day Trump demanded Harris take a mental stamina and endurance test.

    He can’t even make it through a Q&A.

    A prelude to a Trump presidency: no more questions, or answers, just him swaying to sucky music. What an effective presidency will look like. Happy to see that 40% of the American voting populace thinks this is effective leadership. Throw in a tax cut for billionaires and you have what Donald accomplished in his first term. What a useless wanker.

    First he insisted they play Pavarotti’s Ava Maria while displaying his “favorite chart” ( the chart he was looking at when he got shot). He said they played that in Butler PA & it was really beautiful so I guess he was trying to recreate that moment. 

    Then he said let’s not have any more questions. “Maybe we’ll play time to say goodbye at the very end.” 

    After playing Ava Maria and looking lovingly at his favorite chart (“I sleep with it every night!”) he said:

    “By the way when we leave you don’t have to go so fast. You can sit & listen. We’ll play a couple of songs, some of you will be a little warm but that’s ok, it’s not a bad thing, if you want we can do that but I think it will be beautiful a little different, it’d be amazing.”

    He said this after not one but two different people in the crowd had just fainted!
