Betcha this is his last interview, unless it's with Hannity.

What you see is the same guy as basically 2016, an incurious buffoon and con man, incapable and unwilling to engage in the work needed to understand and discuss the issues. But he *is* someone who hasn't had to face any real challenge on that front, either, as every interaction w/ a non-obsequious, non-sycophantic interviewer has shown ... the scant few times it's occurred.

There is clearly a lot of campaign staff in the audience.

Probably over the objections of his advisors.

They should take a clue that he's not gonna be advised. Oh well - they just need to get him installed - then they can brush him aside and get on with their projects.

If it pops in his head, it IS done.

We should be hammering mental competency. But more than that, the reality is the sooner rather than later, Shady will be POTUS is Dump wins. That is terrifying, and we need to stress it.

that I can't turn it off. I'm morbidly fascinated by his comments.

So I'm repeatedly punching myself in the nuts so the pain from that distracts me from the pain of listening to his stupid shit.

…while another member here posted a very different analysis: “Trump is just gish galloping meaningless bullshit without answer(ing) the questions, and the audience is full of trumpers applauding every nonsensical utterance from the orange Morans mouth.”

If you watch clips on X (which I just did), you can see that he's absolutely full of shit and the comments from his supporters that read like he's channeling Abraham Lincoln.

It's mind-numbing that someone can listen to him answering these questions and think - this is the guy who's right for the country.

Sure, he speaks like you and acts like you - but his supporters are also as fucking dumb as a fucking fence post. Do they understand simple economic terms? No. Do they understand simple economic principles? No. Do they understand tariffs? Fuck No.

These morons and the people who prey on them are why we can't have nice things.

😂😂😂😂😂😂

Good genes! That makes me smart!

Effin dunce

Magnificent job, the people loved it and he's always been top-rate with interviews.

Better known as, don't believe your lying eyes and ears.

The man has mashed potatoes for brains at this point with little or no self-awareness.

And yet, the MSM remains basically neutral when it comes to Agent Orange after savaging President Biden. Trump's cognitive deterioration and hateful, off-the-wall comments should be headlines news day-to-day.

The man is out to lunch. End of story.

I'm in the Pacific time zone, so tweet timestamps get changed for me. Here is the thread with breaking news about the cancellation: https://www.democraticunderground.com/100219569087#post6

He's insane. He has monologues which he pulls out and plays, depending on the topic. It's pretty obvious that his "economic plan" was chosen, not because of its practicality or its ability to work for the United States, but for how it appealed to the uneducated, ignorant dumbasses who make up most of his base. The target is an uninformed and ignorant electorate, for which he himself holds nothing but contempt.

When Biden's debate performance didn't measure up to expectations, not only did it frighten Democrats, but it triggered the news media. This, in my opinion, is a string of events showing mental lapses, decline and dementia much worse than that did. Why isn't the media, at the very least the New York Times, Washington Post and NBC, ABC and CBS news dragging his fat ass over the coals with this? And this is someone that they want to put in the Presidency?

Here's my take on that. If he gets elected, the odds of that happening I think might be around 10-15%, and that's scary, they'll pull out the 25th Amendment and make J.D. Vance the President. And that would be even worse.

plus he'll just give his full throated brag that he aced the economic interview

I am watching the video, and Bloomberg teases it at first early in the video, and then Trump shows up at 1 hour, 15 minutes.

They cheered and clapped for him. As in yes keep the large tax cuts coming to us crowd.
Even if he can’t complete a thought or sentence.
