      I hope everyone thinks he’s doing some kind of depraved impression or a skit for a while, long enough for help to be too late. It would be poetic at least, if not just.

      I hope for this too. If he is behind closed doors when it happens you can rest assured that the GOP, his administration, and Fox News will cover it up for as long as possible. Mitch McConnell was a test run for just this occasion.

        I’m not sure if would even matter. Dude could cough up blood, give a death rattle, and then keel over. His “team” will load him into an ambulance and claim he’s getting expert treatment, with a miraculous recovery in a few days with pictures which “totally aren’t AI generated”.

        Or even, he does croak, all the bad stuff gets laid at his feet and diehard Republicans feel safe voting for the rest again.

    “Look, I can go ramp, I can go stair, I can go another stair. Another stair in the back. I have a stair,” Trump declared, pointing to each before returning to Biden once more. “He could never find the stair.”

    How tf is this real life?

    Do dementia patients normally lose the ability to use prepositions and plurals? I guess it’s one manifestation of aphasia.

    what a world do we live in…

    Trump has praised former President Barack Obama (pictured) for his prowess at walking down stairs (AFP/Getty)

    ​The president even paid a rare compliment to one of his rivals while discussing stairs in Quantico, Virginia, last year.

    “Don’t bop down the stairs,” Trump cautioned. “The one thing with Obama, I had zero respect for him as president. But he would bop down those stairs I’ve never seen.”

    ​Singing gently and miming a walking motion, Trump continued: “Da-da, da-da, da-da, bop, bop, bop.”

    ​“He’d go down the stairs, wouldn’t hold on, I said it’s great,” he added. “I don’t want to do it; I guess I could do it.”

        i suspect it might have something to do with the two dots in the url, which i have never seen and have no idea wtf they are. i reuploaded the image, so it should be fine now if it was the case.

    “And heavy truck shipments have hit an all-time high, the highest in the history of our country under the Trump administration,” he said. “So American trucking is back.” No, this is a lie. The graph shows, not surprisingly, that trump is lying about heavy truck shipments. Why tell the truth when a lie comes so much more easily to those lips. smh.
