- At 78 years old, former President Donald Trump is now the oldest nominee running for president.
- Joe Biden, 81, dropped out of the race on Sunday and endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris, 59.
- If she becomes the Democratic nominee, Harris’ age could be an advantage against Trump.
He should drop out.
Old sleepy Don. They call him the incoherent rambler. Everyone is saying it.
They call him the incoherent rambler. Everyone is saying it.
And everyone really is saying it, too
I’m saying it right now.
Many people have been saying it for a long time, folks
Hell, he’s probably saying it, too
I have the biggest cognitive decline, just tremendous, all the doctors are saying it. I make no sense at all, it’s amazing folks
Dementia Don is my vote.
As a nickname, yes. For POTUS, hell no.
Oh of course. I just know he does the alliteration thing for insulting others because he’s dumb and his base is too. Which unfortunately makes it effective.
So giving ole Diaper Don some alliterative handles is both too easy and fun. There are tons of options and I’m sure Dumbass Don would love to hear them all.
Don poorleone apparently really irks him.
Loaded phrase
I prefer Drowsy Don but I’m all in on whatever all y’all decide as long as it has alliteration.
Everybody’s talking about how they can’t even see the tears in his eyes cuz it looks like his eyelids are practically sewn shut
Hell, he probably said it himself during that interminable incoherent ramble he called an acceptance speech. Nobody noticed because everyone’s ears had gone numb by then.
He’s already having issues with his speech and he keeps doing these weird tangential rants that don’t make any sense.
He has been doing this aince 2016 and it has only gotten worse!
As much as I hate trump. I’d rather have that narcissistic shit of a useful idiot sitting between us and Vance if that fucking fascist ever gets near that seat.
That guy is everything wrong with trump wrapped up in a more emotionally intelligent, sharper, more charismatic, more attractive, and younger package.
He’s the exact sort of motherfucker I’ve been expecting them to push after him to take advantage of the path he created, and its fucking terrifying.
There is no way anyone would be able to convince Trump to drop out. He decided in 2019 that he was entitled to a second term. He’s not going to change his mind now.
It’s all or bust for trump. White house or jail.
Not sure that’s the case anymore, unfortunately
White House or big house
He should drop dead.
I think Kamala should take Trump up on that cognitive test offer he wanted to take with Biden.
and golf match
Nah, fuck a golf match. Who gives a shit about golf?
Donald does. And he would not take losing well.
That’s why he will never do it.
If he’s not willing to do what it takes to be elected, he should just quit now.
Old people?
No carts
Final destination only
And it’s hosted in Alabama.
And not the Gulf Shores. Central Alabama. Home of 183% humidity.
Hey I’m there and I agree, right here right now would be a hilarious time to see him try to play golf
And boxing match
Not only is he the oldest, but he’s also the facist-est cadidate.
Father Coughlin is probably kicking himself in hell for never running for president.
Usually I don’t care about simple errors but cadidate got me.
Too old, he’s unelectable
Age DOESN’T MATTER!
-Republicans who are NOT in a Cult and complained about Joe Biden’s age for the last 6 months!
At least his sentences are coherent /s
It’s fucking wild that conservatives listen to Trump and hear an intelligent and coherent person.
He said this in 2016:
Look, having nuclear — my uncle was a great professor and scientist and engineer, Dr. John Trump at MIT; good genes, very good genes, OK, very smart, the Wharton School of Finance, very good, very smart — you know, if you’re a conservative Republican, if I were a liberal, if, like, OK, if I ran as a liberal Democrat, they would say I’m one of the smartest people anywhere in the world — it’s true! — but when you’re a conservative Republican they try — oh, do they do a number — that’s why I always start off: Went to Wharton, was a good student, went there, went there, did this, built a fortune — you know I have to give my like credentials all the time, because we’re a little disadvantaged — but you look at the nuclear deal, the thing that really bothers me — it would have been so easy, and it’s not as important as these lives are — nuclear is so powerful; my uncle explained that to me many, many years ago, the power and that was 35 years ago; he would explain the power of what’s going to happen and he was right, who would have thought? — but when you look at what’s going on with the four prisoners — now it used to be three, now it’s four — but when it was three and even now, I would have said it’s all in the messenger; fellas, and it is fellas because, you know, they don’t, they haven’t figured that the women are smarter right now than the men, so, you know, it’s gonna take them about another 150 years — but the Persians are great negotiators, the Iranians are great negotiators, so, and they, they just killed, they just killed us, this is horrible.
He was still elected.
I love these transcripts, they always sound like a conversation some rambling old man is having with his hospice nurse.
Ok Mr. Trump, very good. Now take your medications.
I wish to point out that he was in his early 70s at the time, generally a bit early for that level of impairment.
generally a bit early for that level of impairment.
Well, assuming the impairment is age-related and not just, you know, built in
True, although if you watch him over the years, especially between 2016 and now, there’s been a huge amount of noticeable cognitive decline.
He forgot his own wife’s name. He called her Mercedes.
Yeah it’s true that while he was never exactly the sharpest tool in the shed, he does seem to have gotten a lot worse fairly quickly. Might be COVID, it’s been linked to cognitive decline and I’ve definitely seen that in my own parents who are no spring chicken
This article is seven years old now, but it sticks in my memory all the same: French translator Bérengère Viennot on the difficulties of trying to represent Trump’s manner of speech in another language
“Person. Woman. Man. Camera. TV.”
I expect that they are hearing but not listening
I doubt most of them listen to him at all. They listen to Fox or Newsmax or whatever social media, who only cherrypick the fragments that sound vaguely coherent, and conversely only played the pieces of Biden’s speeches that were incoherent. They either don’t realize or don’t care that they’re not looking at the whole picture.
Honestly I think it’s just that they don’t care: Trump is the Führer and everything he does is perfect
No, it’s that they hear someone they understand. “He says it like it is,” is white people speak for “his words aren’t confusing me.” Bc really all Don ever does is tell a story like a trailer park kid. It speaks to their biases and emotions and that’s all they care about
Gettysburg… wow
Gettysburg, what an unbelievable battle that was, the battle at Gettysburg, what an unbelievable. I mean, has anyone really been far even as decided to use even go want to do look more like?
I felt a blood vessel pop in my brain just trying to read that.

PASS THE TORCH He’s done it many times, at the KKK rallies in the woods that he’s probably attended.
While I believe the individual reasoning of most Democratic voters is flawed or inadequately nuanced, the reasoning does exist to much greater extent than the R cult.
Far more important is that the typical Democratic voter’s reasoning is now rooted in a sincere intent to choose what they believe is best for both themselves and anonymous others. The R cult correctly estimated the D cult’s propaganda: It alone couldn’t survive a change of candidate. The fact that the vast majority of Democratic voters would stay rooted in ideology never even occured to them.
Well done, average Democratic voter. If you want to stay engaged through midterms and the next cycle then know that the Green Party wet dream would be forced internal elections 2025 due to scaling. Take them over and they’ll welcome it. There’s very little national or state control over local chapters. They’ve a head start on local ballot access, legislative initiatives, communication of basic platform, logos, etc.
Winning a federal race doesn’t matter to people I’ve met there. The Green Party itself would be readily sacrificed for national RCV. But, the wet dream is definitely that enough people engage to attract a candidate of the quality of Sanders in his prime, then scale exponentially to break two-party dichotomy.
Fuck party loyalty. Use them as a tool when it makes sense to do so. Volunteer as a Democrat to work the polls. Always stay loyal to your principles, just as you’ve done now. Learn about the means of elections and seize control of them.
What are you on about
