  1. According to Trump’s handlers, something _special_ is happening. Well, by special they must mean Trump is melting down in front of everybody.

  2. Listening to music slows cognitive decline. Trump finally doing something productive?

    Still a POS

  4. We need to genuinely start questioning this man’s mental capacity.

  5. So the cult is now entranced by an uber rich orange octogenarian dancing. Ughh!!

  7. Jesus christ could you imagine if biden stopped answering questions and just swayed back and forth on stage for 40 minutes? Elongated musk would have that pinned to the front page of Twitter and maga would be losing their shit

  8. Anyone else think Trump made a deal with Vance, Theil, Musk, and the P2025 people to drop out before the election in exchange for a pardon and an end to the special investigation?

  9. I wonder. Is he working on a senile/insanity defense? He can either win as an a madman OR!!! Have a criminal defense strategy.

  11. Proof that trump is all there.

    There, in this case, being his own alternate reality, not the one in which the rest of us exist. Someone needs to get a straitjacket on that guy, STAT!

  12. From the AP:

    “Finally, Trump left the stage as “Memory” from the musical “Cats” played.”

  14. “Someone might ask me about my medical records that show I have dementia. Let me cover it up by acting like I have dementia.”

  16. I know you’ve seen a thousand times where people have said he’s lost it. Watch. These. Clips. And for the love of god show anyone who might vote for him. This isnt just a deranged lunatic, this is a non-functioning person.

  17. Man, Harris completely broke him with that comment about people leaving early. Trapping them without busses. Endless music so they feel social pressure not leave.

  18. Another Trump headline that leaves me unsure if it’s satire.

  19. The GOP doesn’t care if Trump gets into the Oval Office. They just want the presidency and he’s their only shot at this point. Vance will do just fine as a Putin puppet.

  20. Kudos to the Post for actually noting what a weird incident this was in the headline

  21. I think what everyone is missing is that this is the longest Trump has been on stage without saying something incredibly stupid or racist

  22. Turning a town hall into Dementia Woodstock is weird, even by Trump standards.

    I have to admit I’ve never seen someone have so much fun sundowning before.

  24. This is utterly bizarre and surreal. That’s, also, some serious sundowning going on right there.

  25. For those old enough to remember, this is some Andy Kaufman shit right here.

  26. This reminds me of the thing I used to do to get my dementia clients (I did elder caregiving for work for a long time). When they started sundowning bad and their mood was suuuuupeer awful, the only thing that helped was their favorite music and this is eerily similar.

  27. He kept them hostage is what it was. The moment he saw a door opening (because people were going to leave) is when he lied and said people were coming in then he decided to keep everyone in when he said “nobody is leaving” as punishment for those who had started leaving.
