With President Biden no longer in the race, former President Donald J. Trump would be the oldest person ever to serve in the Oval Office. But his rambling, sometimes incoherent public statements have stirred concern among voters.
He’s really not. No one voting for him will care, and everyone voting against him already knows.
The undecided voters only actually give a shit about things that matter to them personally, and his age and capacity are not The economy or taxes or healthcare or immigration, or whatever else it is those extraordinarily stupid people are still confused about.
Which is why we need to have another debate closer to the election. So those people might actually see it and the fact that he is completely senile and unable to form a coherent sentence.
Those who paid any attention during his presidency know it doesn’t matter what he says about anything anyway. His “policies” blow with the wind, can turn on a dime, and are for sale to the highest bidder.
A fair-sized chunk of this fall's electorate was too young to vote in 2016, and doesn't have a real sense of how awful he is, or how much has deteriorated over the past few years.
You’re right, but not for the reasons you think. His policies do matter and do have a tremendous effect, but his most dangerous policies never came to pass only because of the people he surrounded himself with during his last administration. They managed to stop the worst things from happening then. That won’t be true this time around, and only those who are already voting against him know that. The idiots who would vote for him this time didn’t care about the last time and don’t know any better this time either. All they care about is voting for the red team no matter what, and they don’t care about the cost.
If she puts him over her knee and gives him the spanking he deserves there is some slight chance that the strongman delusion will weaken and people will see him for the whiny toddler that most people see.
This won’t convince the people that matter, and it might have unintended consequences for the undecided voters, because they’re idiots.
Overall, it probably won’t have enough of an overall impact to matter. Mostly, because the people who would be impacted by this already know that he is an idiotic child. Those people will already be voting for Kamala.
What a nasty reply to a post. Nasty like we have never seen before. Probably the nastiest reply in the history of the internet. accordion hands intensify
He kinda did answer, basically "we'll have import tariffs to pay for all we need including child care" while making it sound like other countries would pay for it. But of course that's stupid because the money will come from the people who buy the imported goods, i.e. Americans.
He very vaguely implied that tariffs would take care of the childcare cost problem, but never said it outright or explained how that would be the case. Obviously, it wouldn't, but he didn't even try to put one and two together. He just rambled incoherently about wanting to raise prices on everything.
I'm glad they published this article, but their framing still manages to be enraging. As if "of course Biden is a doddering senile old man, but come to think of it maybe Trump has some problems too."
I don't think this spin is going to work, especially when Trump is pit against someone like Kamala Harris, but we'll see. Post-debate analysis is certainly going to be "this man bumbled like a buffoon and is too old, he needs to drop out", but that doesn't mean it will stick.
