My guess is that he was thinking about being impeached following the Jan 6 insurrection, and then Mark Meadows sued Pelosi and the committee who were investigating Trump’s role in the riots. And his addled brain mixed them up.
As far as his appearance goes, one speculation I’ve heard is that after the shooting security/paranoia has prevented him from undergoing his usual cosmetic regime. In any case I expect that the shooting is behind at least some of any changes we see, something like that is going to affect him.
I also think it’s a fantasy for himself, because I think a major reason why he’s running for President in the first place was to get revenge on Biden for daring to win against him. Trump still hasn’t given up on rhetoric about the election being “stolen”, he can’t stand the thought of losing and wanted to get one-up again on Biden by winning in 2024 - and he’s having trouble handling the fact that Biden made that permanently impossible by stepping back in favor of Harris. Which IMHO is why Trump keep periodically swinging back to attacking Biden; Biden is the one he wants to win against, not Harris.
He cut up his debate suit and will give pieces of it on a physical trading card if you buy 15 digital ones. That’s new and seems like a new level of tacky and desperate.
(Though I expect they just bought a roll of cheap navy blue cloth to cut up, or they’re cutting up napkins in Mar-A-Lago.)
In any case, buyers seeking a piece of suit should beware. Business Insider found that the fine print on Collect Trump Cards includes a disclaimer that if delivery of the bit of suit “cannot be fulfilled due to an issue in the manufacturing, production, or delivery”, purchasers will have to settle for a “limited edition Trump NFT” instead.
Haha! Definitely. It’s amazing how much grifting the guy does for a billionaire, and how people empty their pockets to give a billionaire money. What a cult.
He’s back under the gun from DOJ and needs to raise lawyer money, so it comes as no surprise to me. I was expecting him to be more aggressive with the bibles or something, but this is just weird.
No one in the world, so far as I know — and I have searched the records for years, and employed agents to help — has ever lost money by underestimating the intelligence of the plain people.
I’ve had that reaction to several stories this week, starting with the Arlington cemetery story. Saw it on Facebook, and thought it just had to be fake.
Officials at Arlington national cemetery have filed a report over the behavior of members of Donald Trump’s campaign staff who reportedly shoved and verbally abused an employee during a “crass” photo opportunity for the Republican presidential candidate.
I’ve been avoiding most anything to do with that scumbag (per my “agita” thread), so hadn’t seen this story. Doesn’t surprise me in the least. This prick cares nothing for veterans or for those who have died in service to the country, and for him to make a big photo op out of it is disgusting in the extreme.
Trump said that Biden would be drugged up during their debate. Ever since then, I’ve figured Trump has been taking drugs for his public appearances.
Trump has a history of projecting his own flaws on to his opponents. It’s like he needs to convince himself that what he’s doing isn’t wrong because the other guy is doing it too. And Trump’s dim-witted enough that he can make up a lie, tell it, and then believe the lie is true.
