My otherwise intelligent and perceptive family member who has been in Stage Five Trump derangement for months has been arguing lately that Trump is senile, is on the same trajectory to dementia as Biden was when he was elected, and is mentally unstable, even more so than while he was President when one of the Axis “Get Trump!” coup schemes was to invoke the 25th Amendment regarding Presidential disability. This seemed so obviously contrived and desperate for someone like her (intelligent, ethical, independent B.T., as in “Before Trump”) that I wondered where it was coming from.
Last weekend, reading various propaganda outlets and listening for five minutes at a time to CNN and MSNBC, I realized that the Harris campaign’s “OMIGOD OUR PHONY CANDIDATE STRATEGY ISN’T WORKING!!! ARRGHHH!!” freakout had entered a new phase. Suddenly there were essays, articles and pundit rants about how Trump was mentally unstable and his “condition” had taken a turn for the worse. This was, like so many other simultaneous eruptions of almost identical rhetoric and arguments from Axis High Command in the past, pretty obviously a coordinated strategy decision. It was also a yet another example of Democrats employing blatant projection: this is the party that deliberately foisted a senile Presidential candidate on the nation, engaged in an almost four year cover-up using a complicit news media, and was finally exposed when Biden’s episodes of “Ready for the Home” became too frequent and alarming to deny.
That was before this episode.
Remember when President Biden weirdly froze in place, staring vacantly ahead while the people around him were bopping to music? Paid liar Karine Jean Pierre claimed it was a “cheap fake,” but it wasn’t: Joe was having a momentary cognitive breakdown. So, on Monday, the Harris-Walz campaign issued a deceptively edited video, claiming that Trump had frozen and was confused on stage at a town hall event.
Kamala Harris early on Tuesday reposted that with the comment: “Hope he’s okay.” (Suuuure she is.)
How dishonest does a Democrat have to be to make ABC News call out her lies? We now know: that dishonest. ABC explained that about a half hour into the town hall, the event was disrupted by one, then another medical emergency, prompting Trump to make the executive decision “to cut the questions short and instead play some of his favorite music.” Axios, also usually a dependable Axis ally, similarly explained what really happened and commented, “The comments by Harris and her campaign echo a drive in recent days that calls into question Trump’s fitness to serve, such as posting video to social media of him giving rambling answers and labeling him “delulu” (delusional).” Here’s the Times report, written in a continuous sneer but also making it clear that Trump was improvising and controlling, not “freezing.”
I have personally done exactly what Trump did under similar circumstances, ending a planned program and converting it into something else after two significant interruptions made trying to resume futile. That response wasn’t “confusion” by me or Trump: it’s called leadership and the ability to improvise in a crisis, just as Trump did when he was shot in Butler, Pennsylvania.
Over at PJ Media, Matt Margolis writes, “It’s bad enough that Kamala is trying to make Trump’s mental health an issue after she helped cover up Joe Biden’s declining health for three and a half years. It’s worse that to sell this narrative, her campaign is deliberately putting out lies and deceptively edited videos to support that narrative. If there were any truth to what she was saying, her campaign wouldn’t have to lie.”
That’s rather restrained for Matt. My reaction: Once again, Harris and her party have proven that no major party’s Presidential campaign in American history has deserved to lose as much as this one. It has no scruples, no ethics, no shame and no self-restraint…and no real candidate either.
I must admit, though, watching these awful people make total asses of themselves and anyone gullible enough to believe them is kinda fun….
Ethics Alarms 
Projection has been one of the Democratic Party’s weapons of choice for many years now….accuse your opponent of what you are doing yourself.
Trump is not demented. They know it. They just hope to convince enough people through their willing propagandists that he is. This is a See? We got rid of our demented President (even though he’s not demented), why don’t they get rid of theirs?” strategy.
Fun to watch until half or more of the electorate vote for them.
Indeed.
Go out with a microphone (canbefake) and play man or birthing unit on the street and randomly interview roaming humanoids and you will notice how well the comprehensive propaganda strategy is working. It won’t make sense to common sense and rational thinking but you will leave having a better understanding of the typical level of critical thinking ability that our citizenry possesses. It’s almost as if our failing public school system is allowed to continue on purpose.
Have a nice day…🤠
It’s also why there’s this sudden push for Trump to release his medical records. I guess it worked well enough for them to demand his tax records last time. Make exorbitant demands, and then label him suspicious for refusing to play along.
It’s rediculous how many times the political left proves my statement…
I mean…. Nevermind that Harris covered up for Joe’s declining cognitive function, Joe is still ostensibly POTUS. I can’t think of the last time he did literally anything, because the media has completely and utterly moved on, but legitimately: I don’t think there’s been a better case for the invocation of the 25th in my lifetime, and everyone is focusing on the guy running as opposed to the guy in the actual chair.
That said… Trump isn’t the same Trump from eight years ago, and it’s not merely that he’s chosen a more tactful campaign strategy. The man is 78, and saying that he’s more hale than Biden, while true, is like winning an octogenarian limbo competition; he’s at the point where he could fart too hard and throw an aneurism. I understand how we got to this point, and I’m going to revise my previous prediction and say that he has a chance (but just that: a chance. The Republican ground game is still shit, and a significant number of Democrats were prepared to vote for Biden despite his decline), but no one should be happy with their presidential choices this year.
Oh hell, that’s stipulated! 78 is far too old, whether its Ruth Bader Ginsberg, Diane Feinstein, Biden or Trump, but if ethics estoppel was ever mandatory, it’s with Democrats pointing to TRUMP’s age.
(I really don’t think the Axis would be behaving this way if they didn’t see the writing on the wall.)
Agreed and agreed. How WOULD the Axis be behaving if the writing on the wall was saying they were likely to win?
Biased but relatively sane.
This is mild compared to the lies Harris told on a radio program where she said Trump would take away a variety of Constitutional protections such as the 4th, 5th 6th and several others I did not hear. A caller to the show said he was afraid that Trump would round up non whites and imprison them using the enemy aliens act of 1798. She confirmed that fear indirectly saying that he wants you to be afraid.
JUST posted on this before I read your comment…
I’m glad you did. She talks about Trump wanting to instill fear but that is exactly what she is doing and she knows what she is doing. That is the hallmark of an demagogic authoritarian. She scares the hell out of me.
Right on schedule.
I think I could have predicted this gullible sheeple to come out and parrot this new narrative down to the minute.
Why Does Donald Trump’s Incoherence, Mental Decline Fail To Get Top-Of-The-Fold Attention?
