A day before that appearance, Trump similarly confused an audience at a Pennsylvania town hall when he paused questions for over half an hour to sway along to his playlist on stage. Democratic strategist Keith Edwards called Trump ‘weak and weird’, and said that Trump wouldn’t make it four years as President. FWIW, my Trump cultist friend lives in Savannah. I wonder how she’s taking the cancellation? ---

> [@LSLGuy](#): > > Somebody on the campaign staff is gonna get hammered. Admitting that Dear Leader is less than overwhelmingly perfect will not be rewarded. Agree this is highly likely. Trump is old enough that he is likely often exhausted between public appearances, but young enough that he can hide it, for a few hours, when he knows it’s really important. Trump is Teflon coated like no other politician when it comes to making bigoted extreme statements. He probably was not even hurt by turning DJ. And I do not see examples of confusion hurting him by themselves. But if it became really obvious that he’s exhausted, that could give Harris her needed last minute bounce. Trump’s best strategy now may be to stay constantly in the news with, outrageous tweets and truths, without risking public appearances. ---
