Trump DENIES cognitive issue, FORGETS interviewer's name
At a recent town hall in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, Donald Trump denied having any cognitive issues, despite forgetting the name of host Sage Steele, calling her "Page." This sparked concerns about his memory lapses, especially as he frequently criticizes Joe Biden’s age, while Trump himself approaches 80 years of age. During rallies, Trump often appears confused, struggling to recall familiar phrases like "liquid gold" when discussing oil. His speeches, often going off-script, stretch much longer than intended, leaving him exhausted and prone to incoherent statements. Despite his campaign team trying different formats to better suit him, from interviews to town halls, Trump continues to appear disoriented and unable to answer simple questions, raising doubts about his mental clarity and whether any format truly plays to his strengths at this point in the campaign.
Trump fantasizes about golfer's penis
At a rally in Latrobe, Pennsylvania, Donald Trump made controversial remarks about the late golfer Arnold Palmer, awkwardly focusing on his “manhood” and leaving the crowd mostly unresponsive. He then shifted his attention to Vice President Kamala Harris, denouncing her performance with derogatory language. Trump expressed alarming views on state laws, suggesting he could overturn them if he disagreed, specifically mentioning California's election law, which sharply contrasts with traditional Republican values of state rights. He previously criticized mail-in voting while simultaneously encouraging it in Arizona, highlighting a contradictory message. The rally concluded with a chaotic audio experience and Trump's signature awkward dance, raising concerns about his increasingly erratic behavior just two weeks before Election Day.

Trump "women" town hall DISASTER, Fox CUTS TO COMMERCIAL
During a Fox News town hall with women voters, Donald Trump addressed various issues, highlighting the gender gap between his support and Kamala Harris's. He referred to himself as the "father of IVF" but later revealed he only recently learned about the topic after a call from Senator Katie Britt regarding IVF clinic closures. When questioned about abortion rights and government involvement, Trump deflected by boasting about overturning Roe v. Wade, without offering a clear stance. His responses were often vague, and at one point, he went off-topic in a rant about Elon Musk, prompting the host, Harris Faulkner, to cut to a commercial. Trump also falsely claimed that immigrants in Springfield, Ohio who he previously said were eating people’s pets were illegal, which Faulkner corrected. Throughout the event, Trump failed to provide clear answers to important questions, such as how to lower prices or prevent men from participating in women’s sports, often offering simplistic platitudes and incoherent responses.
From over the weekend:
LOL: Republican gives FIVE answers in NINE seconds about abortion
Dave McCormick, a Republican Senate candidate in Pennsylvania, provided multiple conflicting answers on who should decide on reproductive rights and abortion legality. In just nine seconds, McCormick suggested that courts, judges, states, and the people should decide, creating ambiguity about his true position. While he framed the issue as a matter of states' rights, his statements could be interpreted in various ways, including decisions by state legislatures, courts, or individual judges. Critics argued that such inconsistency reflected the broader confusion and harm in the post-Roe v. Wade era, where women faced significant barriers to accessing reproductive healthcare. McCormick's vague stance mirrored a larger Republican strategy of avoiding clear positions on abortion, contributing to policies that put women’s health and lives at risk. This lack of clarity on such a critical issue is not only political evasion but a real-life danger, with devastating consequences for many women.
