'Is Trump okay?' Confusion as 'exhausted' ex-president abruptly ends friendly interview

What stress as president? He just golfs and when pushed for a decision on something, just picks randomly from the options presented. He doesn't even bother understand what the options are. Remember the whole injecting bleach crap? That was him literally glancing at a slide and running with it, obviously with no prior briefing.

Not gonna happen. The 25th Amendment would require a majority of cabinet members to sign off, and Trump will pick them as total loyalists. Trump has control over the party, many of them view him as an infallible prophet. If they haven't turned against him so far, they're not gonna do it later. If Trump gets elected, we're all gonna be along for a ride on the crazy train with him until he dies.

It doesn't matter to his supporters, he crossed the line a long time ago and kept his voters, nothing will change their minds at this point.

They said the same thing about Biden.

My point is it's hypocritical made up shit.

Dude there's a whole cottage industry here that's dedicated to trying to understand why people vote for him, and the answers are as varied as they are stupid.

That shit was harrowing at the retirement home I worked at. I only worked during the day, so the worst thing I saw was falls. My fiancé's brother worked at night, though. The residents would get stir crazy at night. They'd try to "escape," and they'd be found laying in the nearby hospital's flower bead. This was in NON-assisted living. Trump definitely reminds me of those residents. They'd end up walking to the hospital because it was the only place they knew how to get to, but they didn't know why they were walking there. They just wanted to escape. A lot of them expected their old house/ kid's house.

If you watched exclusively right-wing media, you would get heavily edited (and mercifully brief) presentations of Trump, along with hours of talking heads playing him up while demonizing Harris (and of course heavily edited presentations of the Democrat). The issue is not with their choice of Trump but with their choices of what media to consume - the latter choices lead quite logically and inevitably to the former choice.

The best explanation I've come up with after discussing politics at length with them is that they are gaslit. Pure and simple. They just have enough gullibility to see one tiny thing that coincides with something they were taught or otherwise believe. It also explains why they are being scammed so easily on truthsocial.

Trump just has that dirty salesman skill of creating a story with just enough validity or truth and twisting everything to his favor.

Damn, the behavioral variant describes him well. Impulsive, uninhibited, socially unacceptable, listless, and apathetic.

Careful with yer language there, pardner, lest you force us to export some freedom to your country. We've been spoilin' for a real fight for some time now. Our poors would love nothing better than a meaningful mission, food, housing, and healthcare, and we've got all this incredible murder tech that we don't get to use, all provided by Uncle Sam.

JD Vance is a flawless beauty with wonderful concepts of ideas, and I won't hear anything different, got it, Sharon?

Because he doesn't actually do any work, and only worries about himself.

In contrast, presidents like Obama and Biden age quickly because they're actually working nonstop, and stressing out about world events.

Donald did no work. He only watched TV, golfed, held rallies. He spent more time on the toilet producing whatever it was that took so many flushes than he did on the job.

Donald aged quickly afterwards and especially after the start of his court cases for the numerous crimes.

Raw Story may be on the same side as us but they are still complete trash. Headline is often a straight-up lie.

35 minutes doesn't seem very long for an interview. Is expecting the presidential candidate to remain lucid and coherent for slightly more than a half hour too much to ask?

This entire article is sensationalized. Bongino doesn't even really seem phased when trump says he's gotta go.

that's less than a job interview though

Where does the word travelers come from? I have it as an ear worm from a book or something

Well, to his credit, he could be correct in that Weinstein got "schlonged" in prison.

I’ve never heard that word used like this, but I think he’s trying to say “boned” which equates to wronged. He (Trump) is wrong though. Weinstein got what he deserved.

When Trump was running the first time for the 2016 election he got a lot of attention for using that word. I remember an NPR host saying how he'd used it before in a similar context that Trump did (a political loss), but at the same time he was regretful about it. I don't remember the details but actually let me search...

Neal Conan. I'm fairly certain I remember him talking about it on the radio, was why this rang a bell for me. But apparently he even wrote an op Ed about it: https://www.latimes.com/opinion/op-ed/la-oe-1223-conan-schlonged-20151223-story.html

Conan used it literally once in a political context and regretted it as you can read above. And he seems to have vaguely meant it in a way you might say "wow, they got fucked" as you might say about someone being cheated, or "fucked up" for beaten up. Like ruined in some way, not with a literal sexual meaning, just a vague association because of the word itself.

Not that this makes it any more couth or anything; feel how you want to feel about it. Clearly saying "they got fucked" still has that same vulgar sound, so we avoid it in polite conversation, so I imagined a word that sounds so vulgar would probably be avoided by a high profile politician, as given people feel weird about it. And it happened twice.

I just think it's interesting that it's come up again. Language is weird.

He was pounded in the ass.

Did he steal from Harry

I will be extremely sad if he leaves us with President Vance.

I just hope he doesn’t manage to run out the clock before facing consequences.

I wouldn’t bet on it, but I do hope for it.

Oh yeah. Seems that she's "emotional", unlike Trump. Think that people are probably projecting their misogyny.

Article says "'They're going crazy,' Trump said, pointing off camera." Which I think further strengthens your argument.

This is a narcissistic and delusional old man who has never really participated in society as a normal human being. When he says "they", he literally thinks there is a shadow group of people doing this. The fact that someone rich got caught committing crimes and was found guilty by "normies" is all just a part of the shadow group's plan to allow such things to happen. He literally believes "they" could have stopped that from happening IF they wanted to, but decided not to.

I’m shocked you didn’t clip the quote where he claimed Weinstein got “schlonged.”

lol what the fuck. I’m on set and we’re rolling sound and I almost burst out laughing when I read that line

Thats how i took it too

Strategy? From the democrats? lmao

It was a couple minutes in. His handlers are pulling him out of events when he starts talking nonsense. The shit they accused the Democrats of doing with Biden that never actually happened.

Like it or not, the US presidential election has potentially dire worldwide consequences for global warming. If you think our attention is best spent on global warming -- and I would agree -- then paying attention to the election is that.

Yeah don't blame this shit on all of us, it's like 1/3rd of the population being morons.

Happening all over the planet, unfortunately.

Oh, do fuck off. If you can’t look away from the spectacle, that’s a personal problem. Our problems get magnified by the media but they’re the same problems everywhere.

his ass was probably burning from sitting in his shitfilled diaper that long

He doesn't get up to do that.

He never stopped campaigning. Even when he was president he still went on the road.
