Can you imagine the wall to wall coverage had it been Biden who called his wife by the wrong name? It would go on for weeks.
Because it's Trump they'll be nary a peep about this from the "liberal" media.
Edit: Confirmed this morning - not a word about Trump's demented rambling on the front pages of CNN, NBC, NYT or WA Post. The GQP front-runner's inability to string a coherent sentence together or remember his wife's name should be front page news. If Biden tripped over a mic stand it would be.
The thought of the day that I get to watch Donald Trump finally stroke out on stage for good is honestly what keeps me going at this point.
They will probably come up with a conspiracy of why it is the Liberal's fault
probably?
Problem is they'll weekend at Bernie's the situation
I think in politics it's called "doing a McConnell".
Honestly it's not beyond the realm of possibility.
The guy who gave his daughter plastic surgery treats women as objects. It's not even shocking. It's not news. It's nothing. It's obvious. The weird part is, that people like him for it.
I usually manage to call my possessions by their correct names. Trump has dementia.
The number of people who don't seem to get that is staggering. He's shown clear signs of cognitive decline since at most 2020. I know mental health and elder care professionals that were noticing it as early ad 2016.
Just watch his interviews from around 9/11. He's still a stupid, pompous, narcissistic, lying piece of shit with delusions of grandiosity, but he could speak coherently and form complete thoughts.
It's likely only a matter of months before he finally sundowns with cameras on him, although I'm sure his handlers are trying their hardest to keep that from happening.
They like him for it because they wish they could do the same.
I'd like to believe that most of his voting base don't want to fuck their kids. Donnie was just raised in a... special environment, which produced his ah bigly brain
Some witch named Mercedes is polishing his mushroom. That’s fine tho, I’m sure melanoma has a side piece.
I said this in another thread that I bet some stripper or Porn star was banging him on the side and he slipped again.
Just imagine if Biden called Jill Biden ‘Jane’ or the like - the media would be be all over him for days poking fun at his supposed dementia.
Considering Donald's well-documented desire to play the world's most disappointing game of hide-the-underfilled-cocktail-frank with his own daughter, maybe Eric is that side piece. Shit doesn't fall far from the ass.
I wonder what he calls his daughter.
"I wanna" Trump
I mean, it doesn't make it better, but he got confused because he was talking about Mercedes Schlapp earlier.
This context is pretty important. I'm in my 20s and my brain would do this too
Makes perfect sense.
Trump probably regards her as an acquisition, like a luxury car.
Nah Occam's razor.
He's fucking someone named Mercedes.
I'm getting this really disturbing mental image of someone using spray tan as lube.
One lobotomy, please.
Is his brain even going to last the nine months til the election? It feels like in just a month or two he will have degraded to saying the n-word on stage while talking about how bad he wants to fuck his daughter.
What are the odds that we just learned what he has been calling her at home for years?
What a...
Really, there are no words.
I am continually amazed by the USA. How does he get so much support? Why are all your candidates walking corpses? How did it get to this point?
Look around.
How did Modi get so much support?
How did Johnson get so much support?
How did Le Pen get so much support?
How did Meloni get so much support?
How did Erdogan get so much support?
How did Orban get so much support?
How did Netanyahu get so much support?
How did Wilders get so much support?
Awful leaders with popular support are by no means unique to the USA.
Weird flex.
