Dark shadows....

Gobsmacked. Yes, that’s the appropriate word to describe my reaction to this story. If I had a pt who spoke like this in my ED, I’d be thinking a taste of haldol, geodon or zyprexa might be ordered in the near future. Prior to the invol commit. 

Here we go, trump speaking to laura ingraham:

”Speaking to Laura Ingraham at the White House on Monday, the US president said of Biden: "He's not controlling anything."

Ingraham asked: "Who do you think is pulling Biden's strings? Is it Obama people?"

Trump replied: "People that you've never heard of, people that are in the dark shadows. People that—"

Ingraham interrupted Trump to say: "What does that mean? That sounds like a conspiracy theory. Dark shadows. What is that?"

Trump replied: "No, they're people you haven't heard of. There are people that are on the streets, there are people that are controlling the streets. We had somebody get on a plane from a certain city this weekend. And in the plane, it was almost completely loaded with thugs, wearing these dark uniforms — black uniforms — with gear and this and that. They're on a plane"

Ingraham invited Trump to explain his mysterious claim, and he replied: "I'll tell you sometime. But it's under investigation right now."

He said that the person who had witnessed the "thugs" on planes had been headed to the Republican National Convention, adding that there were "a lot of people" on the plane who were travelling to Washington "to do big damage." He did not attempt to describe the unfounded claim related to the Biden campaign.”

It sounds like he's trying out some new rhetoric for his followers to believe and share.

Surprised he was able to get through Thursday convention speech after listing to this interview.

Then I saw this next Fox News Story

DOJ 'TARGETING AND INVESTIGATING' LEADERS, FUNDERS OF FAR-LEFT GROUPS AND RIOTERS, WOLF TELLS TUCKER

Quote

Chad Wolf blames violence across America on local, state officials not taking unrest seriously enough

The Department of Justice has launched an investigation into the organization and funding of the violent protests that have disrupted several U.S. cities in recent months, Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Chad Wolf told "Tucker Carlson Tonight" Monday.

"What we know, Tucker, is that we have seen groups and individuals move from Portland to other parts of the country," Wolf added. "Almost 100 of them were from out of state."

Wolf revealed the probe days after Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., called on the Justice Department to investigate those funding the organized riots after he and his wife were accosted by demonstrators on the final night of the Republican National Convention.

MSNBC picked up on this story...

Quote

...The likely explanation for this is that the president saw some weird rumor online months ago, and took it seriously.

The claim about a plane flight matches a viral facebook post from June 1 that falsely claimed, “At least a dozen males got off the plane in Boise from Seattle, dressed head to toe in black.” The post, by an Emmett, Idaho man, warned residents to “Be ready for attacks downtown and residential areas,” and claimed one passenger had “a tattoo that said Antifa America on his arm.”

Combine the Chad Wolfs news + above internet post and you get Trumps statement.

Doesnt sound off base to me. It is quite evident that Biden is incapable of running the country (even if he is able to read off the teleprompter at times) so who will be running the country if by some weird chance he wins, who knows (ie the people in the shadows while Biden returns to the basement). Still havent seen him in any real interview answer tough questions have we?! And it it also quite evident that the BLM/antifa rioters rove about the country quite freely so just exactly who is funding them. Inquiry minds want to know.

You haven't seen a real interview, so in your mind it didn't happen or Biden isn't capable? https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/transcript-joe-biden-kamala-harris-joint-interview-abcs/story?id=72541513

The interesting thing about comparing interviews is that you can read a transcript of Biden's and follow a coherent train of thought formed into actual sentences.  Compare that to Trump interview.  https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/transcript-abc-news-anchor-david-muir-interviews-president/story?id=70523003

Come on...lets be real about Trump and his weaknesses.
