It’s times like this that I wish Kamala the Ugandan Giant was still with us, because he’d have been able to cut a great promo on Trump about how to pronounce her name the right way. ---

I think Trump’s statements at the NABJ convention about Harris “turning Black” is about him mixing up Harris and Nikki Haley, as people – not their names. Similarly to when he mixed up Haley and Pelosi as people. Like, he combined them in his head, so he’s thinking, _she was always Indian, but now she’s Black? I guess she just decided she’s Black now…_ ---

That’s a very good point. And I bet you’re right. ---

Even when trump was young & more mentally together, everyone except himself was an NPC: merely an interchangeable bot to be financially f\*\*\*ed if male or non-pretty female and to be both financially and physically f\*\*\*ed if cute & female. It’s unsurprising he’s gluing them all together now. ---

> [@eschrodinger](#): > > I think Trump’s statements at the NABJ convention about Harris “turning Black” is about him mixing up Harris and Nikki Haley, as people – not their names. Similarly to when he mixed up Haley and Pelosi as people. I hadn’t thought of this before. I agree with saje: it’s very likely to be true. ---

I really feel bad for Trump, even a stable genius who aced two cognitive tests better than anyone has ever seen before can’t always keep them straight, they’re all practically the same person.

> [@Atamasama](#): > > He just stuttered saying “when”, that isn’t anything strange. It’s worth pointing out when he constantly insists that Harris “can’t put two sentences together”. If “we have beaten Medicare” was enough of a slip-up to end Biden’s campaign, then Trump’s incessant logorrhea needs a spotlight shining on it as well. ---

> [@Smapti](#): > > If “we have beaten Medicare” was enough of a slip-up to end Biden’s campaign, then Trump’s incessant loggorhea needs a spotlight shining on it as well. I agree. A slight stutter on one word is not an example of that. That’s normal speech you will find from any human being, regardless of how articulate they are. There are countless real verbal slip ups of Trump. Even the person you quoted from Twitter didn’t seem to find that tiny stutter worthy of comment, rather their point was that he brought up Lecter yet again. ---
