General Discussion
Related: Editorials & Other Articles, Issue Forums, Alliance Forums, Region ForumsBased on recent appearance cancellations, I do not expect any more public addresses from Trump
before the election. I believe he is shutting down and can no longer handle a speech or appearance. With less than three weeks to go, I don't think we're going to see Donald Trump at a microphone again.
I believe he is done. Finished. Out of it. Incapable of even making a public appearance any longer.
Spread the word wherever you can!

(147,230 posts)He is not doing at all well in public these days, and I think they're pulling the plug on any further appearances. They're hoping people won't realize what's happening this close to the election.
He has canceled at least three appearances since the abortive town hall incident. There is a reason for that.
H2O Man
(75,089 posts)His physical and especially mental abilities have been taking a beating. I'm sure those around him want to keep him hidden. At the same time, he is stubborn, and is convinced he can handle speaking in public. How I wish there was a second debate!

(75,089 posts)For a couple of months, I've thought the felon only wants three things: to "win," because he hates losing -- and losing to a woman would be very difficult, especially a non-white woman; he wants to end Jack Smith's case(s) against him; and he wants "revenge." But I doubt he would remain in office at any level of activity -- much like Ike's final years -- if at all. And that means Vance would, at very least, be acting president, much like VP Nixon was. And Vance is far worse than Nixon. To quote LBJ, "he ain't a pimple on a good man's ass."

(6,068 posts)That orange gibbon will get them the office, and then he will have to stop down or finally just shut down. Then, we get Vance, the real Nazi in the room. A lying one at that. They want him, so they will keep that orange gibbon on the ballot in the hopes that he will get both of them into power and then Vance will start taking over.
The hell from that orange gibbon will not be as horrible as the hell we get from that inhuman slime trying to masquerade as a political option. We need to make sure that they both go down in disgrace.

(36,317 posts)Trump will not serve another full term in office, even if elected. Just as the vice presidency was VP Harris's proximal springboard into the presidential race, Trump's incapacity will lead directly to Vance being sworn in. In the circumstances, I'm sure Trump will insure that Vance will protect him. But regardless, I am convinced that if Trump begins another term, Vance will finish it. That scares me as much as a Trump do-over itself!

MineralMan
(147,230 posts)What I think is that panic is becoming general among those involved in his campaign.
As for his legal team, he has idiots for lawyers already. They aren't getting any better, either.
People are bailing, I'm sure, even as we discuss this.

(980 posts)Hard to believe he'll do another interview or town hall though. Even in friendly territory, he can't completely control those - any time someone asks him a question now - even a friendly question which he should be prepared for - he goes completely off the rails and spouts nonsensical word salad. He never answers any questions and continually veers off into apocalyptic threats.
His dementia is getting worse by the day and more people pick up on it every time he opens his mouth where he is not sticking to a script. The way things have been going recently, I think there's even a good shot he has to start cancelling the rallies.

(2,398 posts)he might just be his usual dementia level--sundowning hits in the early evening and that's when he loses it.

(6,306 posts)Is that show still on the air? If not, maybe they could broadcast it as a one-off special.
It would be the bigliest event in TV history. Audiences would be glued to their sets like no one's ever seen before.

(7,159 posts)he canceled all these interviews and speeches. It would be hard to stand on stage and watch your audience get up and walk out. But, we don't know who's bought in the audience and who's not.
He has a lot of word salad and disconnected thinking. Something happened to him cognitively. It's like his brains are scrambled. I don't think that he really wants to be President again. This is all toward him sleazing out of his legal troubles. Then again, it could all be for persuading some Judge that he is to be sentenced to a hospital and not Rikers. After all, the primary mission is to save himself from prison. Maybe get himself sentenced to MAL with a medical staff.
I shudder at the thought of Vance becoming President.

But if he cancels that rally too, that'll be a huge sign of his decline.

I wonder what it's like for the staff who enable him by covering up his incapacity?
Do the people who know what's really wrong with him really want him to win?
