Trump is likely to produce no shortage of material that the Democrats can use to attack him on age and mental capacity as well. His ramblings have become substantially less coherent since the last election but nobody outside of there terminally online has noticed so far. As the GOP Primary, such as it is, winds down that's liable to change.

His already loose crip on reality, is getting looser and looser, as the walls of justice start moving closer and closer like the pit in Army of Darkness.

There is a non-zero chance that Trump is also impacted by long COVID which can result in cognitive impairment, especially in the elderly IIRC.

The entire thing is stupid people trying to sound smart.
wait a second - you called @Greenman smart not long ago. Are you finally realizing he is a willfully ignorant stupid hack finally?

Maybe there is hope for you mr limousine liberal!

That just put a pep in my step today if this is the case. Hooray.

It's cute how people think any signs of "impairment" for Trump will ever matter for anything more substantial than causing chatter. It's never going to shrink his voter #s.
The more unhinged he gets (if that's even possible), the more MAGAts love him and do mental gymnastics to express their affection for him.

It might sway a few swing voters in Battleground states though, here's hoping. 🙏

I really don’t get why people say this. There were in fact quite a few people who voted for Trump in 2016 who voted for Biden in 2020. It’s why Biden won!

Doubt it. First time voters biggest group. Ones that wrote in a candidate the bulk of the defections.

While first time voters certainly helped, there were most certainly defections, and defectors count twice as much.

Like if you guys want to believe the fantasy that everyone who voted for Trump even once is unshakeable that’s your business. It’s wrong though.

-1000%. FIL is a diehard Trumpo cultist (which is really weird, he's perfect well adjusted on any topic outside of politics) but I've never seen him carry water like he does for Trump.

In his eyes, Trump can literally do nothing wrong, any suggestions that Trump might have worsened the situation in Yemen is met with cries of propaganda, his scuttling the JCPOA is seen as strength and totally unrelated to the regional issues today, the recorded calls of Trump trying to throw the election are either misinterpreted or overblown or more propaganda, his brutal drone war and counterterrorism tactics are fine when they weren't fine just a couple years before under Obama, trillion dollar deficits in 2019 are because Trump had to negotiate with Democrats, and on and on and on...

Its exhausting debating him because he will provide no sources of his own while demanding sources for every counterpoint and then disregarding them because, you guessed it, propaganda.

Filling your diapers again I see.

Do you think it’s weird that you enjoy dooming so much?

It's not pants shitting as much as it's simply resignation.

If not Trump this year, then what about 2024 and beyond? The GOP and a sizeable portion of our society have abandoned reality and any sense of good governance. How long does revenge politics last? What's the ultimate outcome?

Yes - you said this in previous election cycles that you ‘knew when you are conquered’ only for the opposite to happen.

You constantly predict doom and have been consistently wrong for years now. Not just wrong, but at one point you were convincing yourself that republicans were winning races in places like Hawaii. You’ve just lost all touch with reality.

What have you learned from being wrong over and over?

So you've resigned yourself to a constantly full diaper? I guess that's a method.

No way Trumps standing after this election cycle, his brains will be leaking out of his ears by then.

Remember when he had worked himself up into a pants shitting frenzy about how Republicans were going to win 67 senate seats in 2022 only to have them lose seats?

lol. @gothuevos you have to admit that was pretty hilariously dumb on your part.

It is difficult to express how much an electoral loser that MAGAism is fully because of how broadly and deeply the Republicans have lost because of it so I will instead just point to this man who won four consecutive elections as a Democrat to one of Georgia's US Senate seats:
