They are afraid he will say something like children dying in school shootings are a fact of life with the 2nd amendment 2 weeks out of the election

Plus, yeah, it's gotta be physically hard on him.

And also his handlers probably figure the more he is seen and heard, the more his support drops.

1. His mind is almost completely gone.
2. There is a plan in place to rig the results so why bother with more in person campaigning which only exposes his deteriorated mental state?

I can only hope that as much as MAGA learned from their 2020 failure, the American authorities learned as much or even more about how to better prepare for and counter the rightwing extremists' 2024 plans.

I'm sure that some of them have no marketable skills in the real world. When under "Duties" the only thing they could possibly write is "Gave sincere and passionate butt-smoochies to the 45th President of the United States"... well, I wouldn't call that a winning resume for any other employer except for maybe Leon Musk.

The team is failing.

Expect some grand weirdo events in the final two weeks, if they figure out the concepts of a strategy.

Meanwhile fake Karioke dances to obscure music

His mental health has been bad for a long time now, of course, but now his problems are getting so much harder to hide.

for his rallies. It takes time to come up with new songs to play at his rallies when he forgets where he is or why he's there. Plus, he's such a good dancer, maybe he's working on some new moves.

He simply doesn't like the Interviewer. We see that often in politics.
