Trump Breaks Down Onstage | At a campaign event last night, Trump got bored—and weirdness ensued.

Ol Mitch has fucking had strokes on camera and the media is like, oh that is just ol Mitch doing ol Mitch things. What a fellow!

Like Mitch McConnell having absent seizures?

The Bushes George really have a problem with food

They don't care either; Vance is one of their creatures.

You ain't the only one, bubba.

It would take the entire current government being replaced to do that.

golf clap

Idk. Vance doesn’t strike you as just waiting for that opp? Look at how he flip flops.

I completely, wholeheartedly believe that the GOP could fight kicking and screaming to get Trump elected and then immediately, unanimously 25 him before the inauguration is even complete. They have zero shame. This is not even slightly outside of their ballpark.

It's an obvious con, but that didn't stop them from doing the exact same thing with their supreme court justices. That was also an obvious con that would not have been allowed in any functioning government.

Who are the "they" in "they want to bring it back"? Some of them are war profiteers.

I agree, but that wasnt my question. Well, i guess it was accidentally vague. I can see how you misunderstood my prompt.

My question is in regards to what direction the voting public trend if that happens. Martyr boost propelling vance up, or fizzle bust?

Well thats why i ask. You can say lucky us, but at this point in the election, im not so sure.

Between the vitriol and retoric and conspiracy theories weve already seen, the implication of violence and absolute craziness would, without question be enough for me to not hope for anything like that.

But im asking about how the voting public would poll. Would vance get a martyr boost from their dear dead leader, or would an immediately apathetic undecided vote rise up, one that was origionally locked into the trump/vamce ticket. Would it just vanish overnight? I doubt it, but vance remains an amazingly unpopular vp pick. Without trump, where is his ceiling?

Ugh worst Batman

Val tho… beautiful.

Pay attention to what?? The stuff we’ve all lived through for the last five ten years??

This report is bullshit. It’s an illustration of the demise of the media and real journalism. It’s misinformation to solidify a narrative.

I know. Most people don’t care about policy - most notability DT. I understand that clicks aren’t gained through real journalism. This is exactly how we ended up with this dickhole to begin with. Every media outlet flooded their blocks with every minute story they could drum up about Trump. This left little time to cover any other alternative candidate. Everyone is obsessed with loving or hating this guy. WTF are we doing? No one is changing their mind about him at this point. How, I don’t know. How the fuck any living human could possibly consider this shitstain for anything more than a janitor is beyond me.

The point is that these stories are misleading. It doesn’t matter what you think about the person or the outlet doing the reporting. We should be more critical of the truth and the mistruths we’re being fed. Had anyone successfully made this argument in 2015, perhaps we wouldn’t be having this conversation.

I think we're at a boy who cries wolf point. News pieces like this are almost a daily occurrence. Those who don't care won't simply because it happens again. If anything it will further galvanize their resistance.

There's a sense that these things must be reported and recorded for reasons of history, but for whatever effect one would like to happen as a result it is probably useless.

Well, we've tried convicting him with felonies and playing actual tape of him describing rape, which he is guilty of, and no one seemed particularly swayed. So, facts and evidence seem to be out. If it takes a more abstract, personal approach to break the spell he holds half the voters in the country under, then so be it.

I'm seeing an overwhelming number of headlines specifically targeting "cognitive decline". The media is banking on this thread to sway voters to not elect him.

First - "the media" (any responsible outlet, at least) should never try to sway an election.
Second - the people finding these stories aren't going to be swayed to begin with.
Third - Trump has changed News as we know it. Outlets are more motivated by clicks than reporting. Outside a small handful of exceptions, fair and unbiased reporting no longer exists.
Fourth - The "left wing media" is doing the same thing Fox News was doing ten years ago: lying and misrepresenting the facts to fit a narrative. That narrative is needed to compel their audience to subscribe to their social media and newsletters and to repost articles on these forums to generate ad revenue.

The left and the right are both in their own delusions. I agree that those on the right, certainly the far right, are more dangerous to democracy and American values. The outcome of these delusions is different but the formula and the manipulation of the public is the same. The left (which I consider myself a part of), is the frog in the slowly boiling pot.

People need to be more rational and unbiased when reading the news. People need to call out these editors for misrepresenting the facts or making claims that are guesses at best.

I agree with you. This is weird and cringy and not presidential. THIS is the guy we want as Commander in Chief? Still, I could easily see this event happen at a mayoral town hall. I could absolutely see Tim Walz doing something like this. So, from the perspective of the cult that sits before him, I could easily understand them loving this seemingly intimate moment with their false god.

From the eyes of his followers, this event was a win for Trump. That's a perspective a responsible news outlet should consider - not 'how did this look from the staunch left' but how did this look from the desperate right.

The media needs to stop reassuring us this is an easy win for Harris. Stop preaching to the choir that the man is sick in the head (we have known this for ten years). They need to inform us how serious this election is and how devoted his followers are. They should be scaring us, with truthful reporting, to show up in numbers never seen in US history.

The responsible media needs to work on reaching the clueless believers. They need to gain the trust back from the public at large. Running headlines/stories like this is strengthening the distrust of the media.

If you're implying that he's breaking down and becoming human, I wouldn't go that far.

I don't think this is credit. I'm not saying he masterminded this, I'm saying he saw a person he remembered he was once mad at an threw a tantrum like a child.

I remember when America believed Donald Trump was playing 4D chess. But then we all watched in horror as he was playing Chutes and Ladder.

Yeah this is just what is happening when a bunch of sycophants humor an Alzheimer's patient.

On stage, during a campaign event, for nearly an hour? Lol, no. That's weird.

Once we missed out on a way better president because he enthusiastically yelled "YEAAAAAHH!!!"

For 40 minutes, during a rally, awkwaedly swing back and forth? No I doubt they would. Imagine what you would think if Biden did this.

Is it possible to cover up "serious decline" with a serious dose of uppers? I've assumed he is on a steady diet of pills ever since he accused Biden of only being able to stay awake if they put him on meds.

Maybe this is how he is when his meds wear off.

Everything you've mentioned could have been said about him over the past six years. There is nothing strange about him in this video. If anything, I found him to be quite relaxed and enjoying himself among his MAGAteers.

Did you watch the video?
No one should believe everything they read.
