QED
you obviously dont get the hypocrisy when you complain about a short being posted by left wingers, yet no comment when a 6 minute extreme right wing clip is posted.

Bloomberg Editor-In-Chief John Micklethwait did not take it easy on Trump, and it quickly became clear that the former president has no conception of the mechanics of or the potential ramifications of the economic platform he’s running on. 

Bluntly, the former president was incoherent when pressed with real questions about his policies.

Micklethwait spent most of the interview attempting to break Trump out of what the former president repeatedly referred to as “the weave,” his term for his rambling digressions — with ever-decreasing intelligibility — and general inability to focus on a given topic for more than a few seconds during his rallies and interviews.

What a pathetic attempt at propagandising - cutting and pasting from biased media as if it were fact. There are other interpretations out there other than biased Rolling stone. There is even footage of him getting a standing ovation from the audience (see above)

Probably all saw too how he kept playing his music at the Pennsylvania town hall.  Bizarre. 5 questions at the start and nothing more.  Imagine going there to ask the nominee an important question for your life and he just plays his songs for 39 minutes and shuffles on stage. Overconfidence or something's going wrong.

Trump backs out of CNBC interview, his second about-face with mainstream press this month

 

'Trump’s decision to back out of the appearance comes less than two weeks after he canceled an interview on CBS News’ “60 Minutes” with Scott Pelley.'

A Trump campaign official told CNN that the planned CNBC interview was pulled due to a scheduling conflict, noting the former president intends to be in Michigan on Friday.

Debunked already, by ABC news of all people. THere were 2 medical emergencies at the townhall. Trump's team wanted to just end, but Trump wanted to end on a happier note. So they played a bit of music for a while and he interected with the crowd, finally going out to sign autographs and pose for photos with the attendees.

 

Nothing nefarious or strange. As ABC said, "kind of endearing".

Hey, at least he showed up. Kamala refused. 

Trump refused to do the 60 Minutes interview. Trump refuses to debate, Trump refuses to release his taxes, Trump refuses to release his health records, Trump refuses to do interviews that fact-check. At this point Trump is just a weak, tired, old man.

Trump debated twice, on hostile networks both times. Would do 60 Minutes if they apologized for the sleaze job done on him the previous campaign- they refused. The rest is all fluff that the public doesn't care about.  

 

They DO care about the economy and inflation and immigration. All issues the GOP has a clear lead. Plus wanting a change, which the standard bearer of the current Administration admittedly does not provide.

Been there, done that. Nobody cares but desperate Democrats. Voters care about the issues- especially the economy, immigration, and inflation.  Not the president's cholesterol.

Two medical emergencies stopped the show?..........my ****.

 

Have you any idea how many 'medical emergencies' there are at each and every one of these events?

 

For a one-hour event with 5,000 people, the expected number of medical emergencies would likely be in the range of 6 to 10.

This was a townhall, a much smaller audience and a more intimate setting. Anyway, take it up with the legacy media. You don't have to believe me.

Not correct by what I saw. Yes someone fainted. He said play Ave Maria. Fine. Second person same. Said play Ave Maria. OK. Then from that point - after 5 questions only - he decided to play songs from his song list while he shuffled - not sure if 39 minutes included the two Ave Maria songs but he played YMCA, a Guns n Roses song, Memories from Cats etc etc - his own Teleprompter said to ask questions - the host suggested more questions - but he kept on with it. Jimmy Kimmel and Colbert confirm this and they wouldn't lie.

I thought Republicans cared about dementia? All we heard about for the last 4 years from right-wingers was Biden's declining mental capacity. Now you don't care about the health records of a 78-year old man who's father had a formal diagnosis of dementia? And it runs in families. And I guess you don't care that Trump's taxes would reveal he's just a conman and a tax cheat?

You forgot the /s after your last sentence.

 

When ABC doesn't have a problem, it is game over. They are not Trump fans.

You seem to forget that people already figure he is a conman and a tax cheat. And it just doesn't matter to most voters.  If you worry about dementia, compare Trump's schedule this campaign to his opponents. He is out, talking every day, being very entertaining, and is a very funny guy.

I was joking about the source but it happened - throw in songs by Rufus Wainright and Sinead O'Connor. Odd. Then of course he said to vote on January 5 but I'll give him a pass on that.

Another tough outing for Mr Trump??

 

Donald Trump spoke at a Georgia town hall on Tuesday to address women’s issues - it turned out the “town” was populated by only GOP backers hand-selected by Fox News.

Possibly.  But it won't be me. If Harris wins, I think it's bad for the US and bad for the world, but I won't be 'bitterly disappointed'.  Life goes on.  Plus, by that time Canada will have elected a good Conservative Prime Minister, so ya take the good with the bad.

This is one of those cheap political tricks that are sadly becoming more and more common. I understand that attendees should be security checked and screened before going in the room with a candidate, but the idea of staging it as a theatrical production is embarrassing.

If said PM was to be of Sikh origin then things could indeed get interesting.

Jesus no.  The Sikh are causing enough trouble as it is back home. Enough stress between Canada and India now as it is.
