The former president repeatedly misspoke during a speech on Wednesday.
Speaking in Long Island on Wednesday, Donald Trump was as bombastic and boastful as ever—but also slurred his words on several occasions.
Trump stumbled over words like “migrants” and “Russia” and had trouble stringing sentences together. In another instance, Trump said he was “greater even than Elvis” because unlike the King, he doesn’t have a guitar—a riff that has increasingly featured in his speeches.
His followers don't matter, they are a lost cause.
People who vote party lines or don't really pay attention might be disuaded from voting for him if they are teminded often enough that his cognitive decline might be a reason to not vote for him. Mainly the unaffiliated voters who don't think about things too much and Republicans who want competent evil candidates.
The cognitive issues might be a dealbreaker for those voters.
Pretty sure they see Donald as the useful idiot. They’ll vote for him no matter what, because his winning is the best chance to keep their dying party able to cheat its way into the next competent evil leader.
While he has always had incoherent rambling since 2016. It is getting worse over time. Instead of switching aubjects at the end of sentences, he is changing midsentence and having trouble with simple words.
He didn't have issues with saying 'migrant' 8 years ago, but that word is throwing him for a loop regularly now.
He could take a dump on stage and they wouldn't care. As long as he hates the right people. I have a ton of "I'm voting for the felon" signs in my area. I was baffled that anyone a supported him openly after that shit show of a debate. I'd be embarrassed.
That is like being baffled that someone remains religious after "reading the Bible". Everyone is reading from just a few select passages that suit them while ignoring what the rest say and imply about them and their religion.
"I'm the greatest of all time. Maybe greater even than Elvis . Because Elvis had a guitar. I don't have a guitar. Elvis had a guitar. I don't have the privilege of a guitar."
Yeah, it's dumb, but this isn't the thing to call him out on. The videos posted were just of his stupid ramblings that the audience clearly took as funny. Where's the slurred speech? Show me some clear indicators like the two-handed water drinking a while back.
Fucker's still got half the vote. Maybe we do deserve the punishment for being so stupid! History will repeat itself, and it looks like its happening soon.
It's propaganda. People that choose to consume corporate media (even us here) are often duped by propagandists, but Fox and Newsmax are among the absolute worst literally fabricating a false reality for their viewers so that they feel victimized by their opposition and see Trump as their savior...
Fear and being dumb are two different things. This person is experiencing fear and has every right to feel that way.
Some people react to fear with words, some hide it and some get violent. Some of us do all three. No reason to pick on people because they express their fears with honest words instead of some of the alternatives.
Trump also promoted his wife Melania Trump’s new memoir—but admitted that he hadn’t read it and that he doesn’t know what she wrote about him, telling the crowd, “If she says bad things about me, I’ll call you all up and I’ll say, don’t buy it, get rid of it.”
