This came up on my social media. Fairly telling about the state Trump is in, that this presumably the _best_ take they decided to use: > **[Donald Trump's "foamy saliva" in campaign video raises questions](https://www.newsweek.com/donald-trump-foamy-saliva-campaign-video-1908878?utm_source=fark&utm_medium=website&utm_content=link&ICID=ref_fark)** > > The presumptive Republican nominee was seen with froth around his mouth in a new campaign video, which may signal health issues. ---

The problem is, he also has spectacularly bad taste, and none of the yes men he’s surrounded himself with will ever tell him that. And if someone ever does tell him that, he disregards their opinion, because he knows he knows more about everything than everyone else in the world. He walks out his front door every day, convinced that he’s the most handsome, fashionable man on the planet. ---

(But at the same time, it’s impossible to keep the word “grotesque” from coming to mind.) On the ‘Trump foaming at the mouth’ thing, Google Search at this hour (about 5:45pm EDT) is putting up a warning. Protective of the guy that “Alphabet” hopes to be ruled by post-election, or are there rumors that the footage wasn’t authentic? I know I expect actually-doctored footage much more disturbing than this, featuring Biden, to be circulated starting in October if not earlier. ---

Protective of the guy that “Alphabet” hopes to be ruled by post-election, or are there rumors that the footage wasn’t authentic? There is nothing on the Newsweek page, unlike some random anti-Trump blog i would expect Newsweek to put some kind of update on the page if the video was doctored. Similarly the original tweet quoted does not have community notes suggesting anything like that ---
