Trump suffers SCARY cognitive event on stage
During a recent campaign speech in Prairie du Chien, Wisconsin, Donald Trump experienced a worrying cognitive lapse, raising further concerns about his mental abilities as he seeks the presidency in 2024. In a moment of confusion, Trump contradicted himself by both blaming and praising Kamala Harris's handling of immigration, abruptly losing his train of thought. Medical experts noted that while not indicative of a stroke, the episode was concerning enough to warrant attention. Trump's rambling continued with bizarre remarks about his own physique, incoherent attacks on Harris, and an apocalyptic vision of Wisconsin under siege by violent gangs. His erratic statements, combined with the use of a teleprompter—despite his insistence he rarely needs one—highlighted the growing scrutiny over his fitness for office.
Trump's crowd says LOCK UP KAMALA, THEY'RE INSANE!
At a rally in Erie, Pennsylvania over the weekend, Donald Trump once again displayed a mix of vitriol and confusion, attacking Kamala Harris as "stupid" and projecting onto her accusations of cognitive decline. During the speech, his supporters responded with chants of "Lock her up," echoing familiar refrains from his 2016 campaign against Hillary Clinton. Trump’s remarks, filled with incoherence and flashes of aggression, suggested Harris should be impeached and prosecuted for her role in border policies, an illogical claim given similar immigration challenges during his presidency. He also bizarrely blamed President Biden’s diplomatic duties, including a visit from Iran’s president, for a smaller-than-expected rally turnout in Wisconsin. Trump concluded with a familiar call to "Make America Great Again," though critics noted the irony of the obese, fast food-loving failed former president promising to make the country "healthy again."
From the weekend:
Trump ADMITS his voters so crazy, he can't talk about vaccines
In a recent interview with Sharyl Attkisson, Donald Trump exhibited his ongoing struggle to navigate the topic of vaccines. Despite taking credit for their rapid development, he avoided praising them openly, likely due to backlash from his own supporters. This highlights a broader issue: Trump has lost control of the very political base he cultivated. He even admitted that he doesn't talk about vaccines because Republicans "don't trust" them, despite once viewing their development as one of his major accomplishments. When asked about his proposed mass deportation plan, Trump failed to give a clear moral stance. Instead, his primary concern was how deportations of women and children would be perceived in the media. Rather than justifying the policy on any principle, he focused on the political ramifications and potential backlash from Democrats. This further exemplifies Trump’s pattern of making decisions based on optics and political gain, rather than consistent values.
Marjorie Taylor Greene's boyfriend suggests intimidating non-white voters
Brian Glenn, boyfriend of Marjorie Taylor Greene and a host on Real America's Voice, suggested that voters should be scrutinized based on their appearance, encouraging people to alert authorities if they see "busloads" of individuals arriving at polling stations. His use of terms like "busloads" and "caravan" mirrors long-standing right-wing narratives about nonwhite, particularly Latino, immigrants allegedly voting illegally, despite there being no evidence of widespread illegal voting by non-citizens. Glenn's comments evoke racially coded language, implicitly encouraging voter intimidation based on appearance, reinforcing debunked claims about non-citizens participating in U.S. elections.
