People keep saying he's getting worse, but to me he just seems like the same old narcissistic racist asshole that he's always been 🤷‍♂️

Maybe his "charisma", if you can call it that, is faltering a bit, but he may just be off balance from the sudden storm of twists over the past month.

Odd timing to say this as his last 4-5 appearances at a microphone have mostly been a disaster. He was definitely prone to rambling in 2016 and 2020 but now he rambles all the time and in ways that don’t make a lick of sense. I really think that this is less cognitive issues and more just age of the brain slowing him down and confusing him.

We still have a long ways to go until November. So many more court appearances, rallies, engagements. I’m wondering if he even has the stamina because I think he’s weighing that and new poll data and having a meltdown about it currently.

I really want someone to sit him down and ask him who he thinks Hannibal Lector is.

Nah he's absolutely lost a marble or two since 2016 .... just like Biden did.

Maybe his “charisma”

You spelled bullshit wrong.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's all the rules!
