I hate to defend Trump, but I barely know what day of the week it is most of the time, much less the time.

Good thing you're not running for president
You don't know that.
Well that's honestly concerning because most people do know those things.
He's gonna watch the Steelers play in 2007. Without a time machine.
Ok this is a bit reaching.... He was just asking his people who's job is to manage his time while on the trail. He's on the tail end of the trail too. I think anyone would be having a hard time keeping up
My absolute favorite thing about this country is that nearly everyone votes for who the news networks tell them to vote for, even if the candidate is in clear cognitive decline.
I'm not voting for anyone. I'm voting against the fascist. You don't think much of your fellow citizens, but then neither do I.
@usernamesAreTricky @uspolitics This kind of behavior could be an early sign of dementia like many other signs recently. Trump MUST have been checked for dementia. If so, the American people have the right to know the results.
IF it is dementia he must be taken out of the election immediately, dementia is progressive and a president with dementia is very very dangerous.

Think about how funny it will be to watch his most devout followers embrace and defend his demented ramblings, though. To everyone else, it will be interesting to see the mental gymnastics they employ to try and convince others that he's not losing his mind.
When he gets lost and scared on his way to the podium, when he gets angry and starts getting super racist during interviews, when he soils himself during a visit to a foreign country. We'll get to watch most of his followers erode, but there will be hardliners who will try to defend a literal dementia patient as some masterful gambit.
Whether he wins or loses, we'll be hearing about him for the rest of his life, and we'll see his descent into mindlessness either way. We have a rare opportunity to put a literal mad man at the helm of a super power. This opportunity might not come again.
He will die suddenly. It will likely be in the bathroom. The level of physical stress at his age should be as taxing as it appears to be. I'm sure he has a Sam Altmann/Lance Armstrong level of blood doping vampirism, but even that won't save him IMO. How and when he dies may be important. He is a traitor. He should not be alive or a candidate for his coup.
Never heard that about Sam Altman, do you happen to have a good source? To be clear, I invite you to tell me "nah man, go do your own internetting" lol, but I wanted to ask in case you happened to have something particularly informative!
Trust me bro, it's true bro. Sam just got his machines to delete all proof bro.

~~nl /= ml~~ Nvm, I flubbed on the comment tree. My bad.
You made me check; I was mortified. No harm done.
He recorded it on VHS.
Assuming this trend continues and isn't media cherrypicking an illusion to start a narratice, or just Trump being under the weather temporarily, would you rather have Trump as president in a diminished and confused state, or Vance as president after Trump leaves office due to the condition?
Vance as president after Trump leaves office due to the condition?
For so many reasons Vance as president.
First, there is a zero percent chance Trump gives up the presidency. So the more time can be spent infighting, embarrassing themselves and getting nothing done, the better.
Second, Vance as president won't have the same level of cult following him. If Vance pushes Trump out, he'll make enemies. If Trump somehow leaves, the moment Vance fucks up the smallest thing, Trump will shit on him.
Third, Vance doesn't have the Trump "charisma". Vance isn't going to be able to convince people to follow his lead. Vance is a yes man, not a leader.
Fourth, Anything Vance does, he has to take responsibility for. If Trump is "in charge" then Vance can always come along later and say "oh, I actually disagreed, but I trusted in Trump". If Vance is in charge then he has to support his decisions. (And yes I know neither of them will actually take responsibility. Supporters won't care. But the margins that decide elections will and that's enough).
Of course that's all hypothetical and in the terrible future. Harris/Walz let's us avoid that unnecessary pain and chaos.
Excellent arguments
Neither.
I mean, which is preferable. Which do you think the country would survive more easily? I also would prefer neither but I find it helpful to imagine worst case scenarios out so I can try to prepare for them.
Shooting them both into the sun.
I mean, some of their own people are trying to do that, minus the sun part.
Nobody is entertaining your hypothetical. Neither.
Don't waste your time considering this nonsense. Vote.
Oh I've seen this one. It's the Patriot's vs the Stealers, He is just going to record a new trump item to sell. Maybe Trump beer?
Why did you put an apostrophe in the Patriots, which is not possessive?
Also it's Steelers, not Stealers fyi.
I suspect they were trying to make a joke about how the MAGA people like to think they're patriots fighting against the Democrats who stole the election.
The apostrophe was probably a typo.
Con man pretending to be senile/crazy so he can't stand trial for all his millions of crimes against Humanity & the US.
No way. His narcissism would never allow him to admit that he isn't the smartest person ever. Just like how Ted Kaczynski refused to let his lawyer claim insanity.
It's true, he has a very huuuuge ego. But he likes to game the system, remember how proud he was that he didn't have to pay taxes for years because of his casino bankruptcies? He thought that was a 'smart' thing to do. Anything that keeps him free and in money, he will do.
It’s Saturday, no NFL. All you had to do was say “go Knights” and that would’ve covered LV and UCF, upping your chances.
He doesn't seem clever enough for it to have been a sly allusion to "stop the steal", I think he's just lost it.
He might have just said a team name he's heard of to try to win points with the sports crowd. Arrogance, not dementia. My guess.

I'm sure dementia is happening, but this just sounds like arrogance
