She destroyed the city of San Francisco, it’s — and I own a big building there — it’s no — I shouldn’t talk about this but that’s OK I don’t give a damn because this is what I’m doing. I should say it’s the finest city in the world — sell and get the hell out of there, right? But I can’t do that. I don’t care, you know? I lost billions of dollars, billions of dollars. You know, somebody said, ‘What do you think you lost?’ I said, ‘Probably two, three billion. That’s OK, I don’t care.’ They say, ‘You think you’d do it again?’ And that’s the least of it. Nobody. They always say, I don’t know if you know. Lincoln was horribly treated. Uh, Jefferson was pretty horribly. Andrew Jackson they say was the worst of all, that he was treated worse than any other president. I said, ‘Do that study again, because I think there’s nobody close to Trump.’ I even got shot! And who the hell knows where that came from, right?

Same as it ever was

    Why do people keep saying this?! Sure, he babbled some when he ran in 2015, but at you could hear the words and insert your own meaning. We can't even pretend to parse anything out of this speech. Hell, his own supporters are walking out on his rallies.

    If your grandpa was living alone and conversing with you like this, you would quietly be contemplating a rest home in his very near future. People this far gone can no longer live alone.

    Go back to the 80s and 00s and have a listen. Really. Watch a video or three. Doesn't matter if you agree with what he was saying, his speech was clear, on target.

    Can't say when I noticed the sharp decline, hard to spot, a boiled frog thing. 2019 I think? Compared to then, the man has fallen off a cliff.

    He was a demented sociopathic narcissist in 2016, anyone could have, and did see it, and say it then.

    Unfortunately, republiQans are a cult in every literal sense that matters. trump only needs to stay alive and they’ll vote for him.

    The fact that he’s worse than ever will be borne by them as a secret shame; no one will talk about it, it makes everyone in the cult uncomfortable, and it will not deter them in the slightest.

    It’s 2024 and I think as Americans we still don’t have consensus on how unfathomably broken the republiQans have made politics. It’s virtually unrecognizable from the viewpoint of someone even in the 60’s.

    Theodore Roosevelt got shot in fucking lung and still finished his speech. Trump barely or maybe it was glass who knows (literally two weeks later was completely healed) yet got wisk away by four agents then wore a tampon on his ear.

    Fuck weird Trump and sounds like he has dementia.

    Nah, he's definitely worse now.

    It's just he gets worse at about the same speed we get used to it.

    So he's constantly lowering the bar, and if "not trump" is enough, that means everyone else's bar constantly gets lowered as well.

    If Dem voter's only standard is not being trump, we end up with people who will take money from anyone

    It's pretty much the reason AIPAC is so blatantly buying primary elections these days. They used to hide it, now it's literally "fuck you money" against anyone that calls them out for genocide.

    He's talking like my grandpa did a few weeks before he dropped dead, so fingers crossed I guess

    There better be a huge (UUGE) focus on his decline after the debate. That's the time to put an emphasis on it - right after millions of people see it during the debate.

    The sad thing is, he will end up winning more than 20 states despite this.

    He has always told rambling, near-incoherent stories. He has always lied profusely.

    What's new is how hes slurring his words, and how lethargic he is. It was especially noticable in his recent performance on the Lex Fridman show podcast.

    The early signs of dementia are unavoidable at this point. It might only be a matter of time until Trump has his "We finally beat Medicare" moment.

    Ok sure, let me clarify.

    Successful presidential candidate Trump has been telling rambling, near-incoherent stories since at least 2015. This type of unfiltered ranting based on reactionary grievances has earned him many followers and many detractors.

    Unsuccessful presidential candidate Trump sounded much more like a run of the mill politician back in 2000, before he became a reality tv show star.

    Are you telling my this speech from 2016 isn't the greatest feat of oration of all time?

    Look, having nuclear — my uncle was a great professor and scientist and engineer, Dr. John Trump at MIT; good genes, very good genes, OK, very smart, the Wharton School of Finance, very good, very smart — you know, if you're a conservative Republican, if I were a liberal, if, like, OK, if I ran as a liberal Democrat, they would say I'm one of the smartest people anywhere in the world — it's true! — but when you're a conservative Republican they try — oh, do they do a number — that's why I always start off: Went to Wharton, was a good student, went there, went there, did this, built a fortune — you know I have to give my like credentials all the time, because we're a little disadvantaged — but you look at the nuclear deal, the thing that really bothers me — it would have been so easy, and it's not as important as these lives are — nuclear is so powerful; my uncle explained that to me many, many years ago, the power and that was 35 years ago; he would explain the power of what's going to happen and he was right, who would have thought? — but when you look at what's going on with the four prisoners — now it used to be three, now it's four — but when it was three and even now, I would have said it's all in the messenger; fellas, and it is fellas because, you know, they don't, they haven't figured that the women are smarter right now than the men, so, you know, it's gonna take them about another 150 years — but the Persians are great negotiators, the Iranians are great negotiators, so, and they, they just killed, they just killed us, this is horrible.

    If even Trump supporters start noticing that he is spewing nonsense, it must have become seriously bad. They tended to overlook quite some of his brain-dead output so far, I thought they had become immune to senseless drivel.

    Too old and the dementia is hitting him hard. People are saying it is syphilis.

    Many people are saying he should drop out. The Republicans should put together a unity ticket instead to reach out and show they can heal the nation by putting two Democrats on their ticket as President and VP.

    Is it just me, or does he seem to be a bit thinner? Ordinarily I would say that is a good sign for his health, but coupled with this obvious mental decline I wonder if he has really bad PTSD and isn't eating or sleeping well.

    I would have some sympathy for him as a human. Except, you know, he wouldn't have any for anyone not named Trump.

    His speech is getting worse— but he has almost perfected the Putin/Un double cock air jerkoff dance

    I was told to read the transcripts back in 2017-2018, and did. This is what he always sounded like to me. A fucking moron. Now, he’s an older moron. I’m surprised this is news to anyone.

    Trump is too old and out-of-touch. He can't represent the American People and should drop out.

    I think it’s time to set a maximum age where you can run for president. Because now Trump is the demented old weirdo who has no business running on his broken brain.

    I hope he gets to live for at least a few years in prison. His humiliation should be thorough and public.
