It really should be such an easy task for reporters to flick his ego switch (like in the videos above) and make him ramble on like a lunatic. Honestly the presidential race would already be over if more reporters did that.

Is every major newspaper editorial board and opinion columnist in the United States going to call for Donald Trump to drop out of the race for President now given his obvious mental unfitness? !(https://abs-0.twimg.com/emoji/v2/svg/1f914.svg)
That deplorable Orange Idiot wonât voluntarily withdraw.
Unlike Biden he is no gentleman, not by an infinite shot.
He is too stupid and self-centred to be aware of his abject failure, and to concede defeat.

He has become a parody of himself. Whenever I see / hear him speak now I canât help but imagine that itâs actually Sarah Cooper taking the piss out of him.

Thats interesting. Early on Biden was ahead in fundraising. Then Bidenâs donors dried up and Trump appeared to get a asubstantial boost from some high profile backers.
Was it just never not enough, has it gone elsewhere or did he spent it too quickly - prior to Harris replacing biden one democrat fundraiser said they needed a lot of money to catch up on his spending?
Yes, age is obviously catching up with him now, in an even more obvious way than before. Just as with Biden before him. That is very good news.
Does he have any âextraâ financial draws at the moment?
Its well known he spends campaign funds on things he shouldnt be. I dont see how a trial a few months back would change that behavior in Trump.
As in any human endurance race, short or long distance, most unlikely the participant runs out of gas at the halfway point, or even the three quarter stage⌠There is a real prospect of them running out of gas in the home stretch though - 90days and counting now, this is the home stretch - The way I view this, all the guy has left to give, is incoherent ramblings. Typical of what you would hear in some old peoples home, if any of them were placed upon the stage to entertain the rest of the patients.
Its not that he canât be arsed with all the leg work and heavy lifting that needs to be put into a campaign like this, although that is also in evidence⌠I am hoping he has become incapable, of applying himself to the task at hand, both mentally, and physically.
He is a danger to world peace this guy. Kamala Harris needs to wipe his permanent gurning, off every TV screen on the globe, by achieving a landside vote.

I think with the nepotism, self dealing, and legal issues, I would not be at all surprised if there just want enough left for actual campaigning

Some early polls suggesting the recent drift in support from Latin and black voters towards the GOP has been reversed. It wont take too many more polls like the ones I saw yesterday for there to be serious talk about even Florida being back in play.

Elon Musk mused about making a $45M a month donation to Trump, then he nipped it in the bud. Iâm sure even a slimeball like Musk doesnât want to pay Trumpâs legal bills and line his pockets.
Plenty of money has come in but Trump squanders it on himself. It is one of the stories of his life, since his father first gifted him a fortune. He is awful at managing money, but somehow money seems to flow in his direction so he keeps on going.
It looks to me like he is a tired old man, visibly aging, without the energy or funds to run a proper campaign in the home stretch. It is a huge problem for him that he now has an opponent with vision and energy.
Trump wonât put in the work - he never has, but he will be helped by TV, as even though the crowds are getting smaller in person, he can count on the TV networks to beam his crap into every home.
He will get more nasty as we go, and more violence is a possibility, but hopefully this festering boil is about to be lanced.

LOL, I missed this bit from yesterdayâs press conference.
https://www.nytimes.com/2024/08/08/us/politics/trump-helicopter-willie-brown.html
When asked about Willie Brown Trump told a story about a time Wille told him awful things about her as a seeming deathbed confession while taking a helicopter together they thought was about to go down. Except the conversation never happened. Heâs never taken helicopter ride with Willie Brown. Newsome though says he did take a ride with Trump and then Governor of CA Jerry Brown in 2018 in which Trump spoke repeatedly of concerns that it was going to crash but was never in any danger of doing so.
Two weeks ago Biden completed an immensely complicated multi party deal to bring home hostages from Russia, but he now speaks poorly so this became a mental competency election. Those who were insistent on that are not looking great right now.
