The election is in three weeks, and Pennsylvania is a must-win state for both Trump and Kamala Harris, but during a rally last night in Montgomery County, northwest of Philadelphia, Trump got bored with the event, billed as a “town hall,” and just played music for almost 40 minutes, scowling, smirking, and swaying onstage. Trump is no stranger to surreal moments, yet this was one of the oddest of his political career.
This kind of behavior would have resulted in discussion of dementia and Alzheimers if it was a Democrat.

a Democrat.literally any other person on the planet.Fixed it for you.
Nah. I’m pretty well convinced a number of other Republicans could behave like this and the press wouldn’t care.
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!
Maggie Haberman saw nothing. Nothing!
Like Mitch McConnell having absent seizures?
I disagree, I remember how Fox totally ignored Bush choking on a pretzel or pushing on a pull door.
They protect their own and they’ll defend anyone with an R next to their name.
If Trump ran as a Democrat, do you really think conservative media would ignore his obvious sundowning and pants shitting?The Bushes George really have a problem with food
What about Elon of the weirdos gang?
They don’t care either; Vance is one of their creatures.
This is a comment i made in a different thread:
The actual event is, as usual, fascinatingly cringey.
This is right after the second guy fainted, so trump’s already been interrupted twice, the venue’s tiny, and I think he doesn’t like dog killer Kristi Noem despite obvious commonalities. She was probably insufficiently subservient.
He wants security to open the doors to let fresh air in, but they can’t because of USSS measures to protect his dumb ass. Watch how he loses his mind in rage, suppresses it, and rolls it into his patter in the span of one second.
Then he says hey everybody lets all hear my favorite - Pavarotti singing Ave Maria! (Crowd cheers). The fuck? It gets weirder from there.
This whole thing is just afucking fever dream. I hope you americans can sort your shit out
You ain’t the only one, bubba.
It would take the entire current government being replaced to do that.
Well what are you waiting for? Start wheeling out the guillotines.
That was a hard, bizarre watch - and from Fox no less. They’re not beating the weird allegations, and they’re not sending their best.
golf clap
I think at this point the Trump ticket is the JD Vance for President ticket. If they win, even if he doesn’t drop from a bad stroke or cardiovascular disease, the team will 25th his ass.
It’s essentially the Vance / Johnson ticket going forward.
the team will 25th his ass
That’s what they should do in that situation, but in reality, there’s no chance. The bar is too high.
From the 25th Amendment:
Whenever the Vice President and a majority of either the principal officers of the executive departments or of such other body as Congress may by law provide, transmit to the President pro tempore of the Senate and the Speaker of the House of Representatives their written declaration that the President is unable to discharge the powers and duties of his office, the Vice President shall immediately assume the powers and duties of the office as Acting President.
Trump would have a cabinet full of true believers and yes-men. There’s no way that more than half would be on board to jettison him. The Congressional cure is also a non-starter. If Trump were to win, there would probably also be a Republican-controlled Congress, and we all know that Congressional Republicans have zero spine when it comes to standing up to daddy.
Idk. Vance doesn’t strike you as just waiting for that opp? Look at how he flip flops.
I’m still thinking Vance would push Drumpf down the stairs within minutes if they won.
Yep
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.
Republicans don’t want a leader. They want a vegetable. Every (normal) Republican runs on limited government, then gets into power and adds government: (Nixon and the EPA, Bush and Homeland security, etc…) Regan came to power and then didn’t do any of that, since he had alzheimers and didn’t know who he was half the time.
That is the golden age they want to bring back.
Wait… Ronald Reagan didn’t “didn’t do any of [add government]” just because no new “three letter’d” agencies got founded under his tenure. In 1982 (or 83… I forget and am drunk right now), he almost doubled spending for the Department of Defense.

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