I confess to back pedaling into Trump territory when I wanted to leave discussions about him in the garbage can. My thread on the read-only break room site has 9,600 replies so I thought I'd bring up a new one.
He's not going away.
Haberman's book is out based on interviews. I won't read it, but the excerpts are interesting. Especially what he says about McConnell, a description that's against the Terms of Service here, but I actually don't disagree with. LOL
Quote“At one point, Trump made a candid admission that was as jarring as it was ultimately unsurprising. ‘The question I get asked more than any other question: “If you had it to do again, would you have done it?”’Trump said of running for president. ‘The answer is, yeah, I think so. Because here’s the way I look at it. I have so many rich friends and nobody knows who they are.’ … Reflecting on the meaning of having been president of the United States, his first impulse was not to mention public service, or what he felt he’d accomplished, only that it appeared to be a vehicle for fame, and that many experiences were only worth having if someone else envied them.”

I think Team Trump is trying to keep the scale of Trump's cognitive and mental decline from the American voters. They've done that before.
Trump doing no interviews is his best political move. LOL
Hopefully FOX will use integrity and not selectively edit like 60 minutes. If they did, it would just be a standard practice of network editing anyway.

I don't know how to characterize that behavior, but if he forgot where he was or why, would that qualify as psychosis?
Biden forgets where he is, calls upon long diseased world leaders, needs to be shown/escorted off stage, baloney thinks Biden has minor age related change.
So this most likely is age related change.

That's how you decide if Trump has cognitive decline? By deflecting to your concern about another person entirely?
Crusades said:Yeah? Ask Iran about their finacial stability under Biden. They are doing well as far as I can tell.
Please provide evidence that Trump is even partially to blame. Perhaps there was a miscalculation and the transport contractor did anticipate a huge turn out. Wasn't repaired for the large numbers of Trump supporters in a key battleground state.
Why don't you say specifically what you mean about Iran and Biden since you don't want to talk about Trump unilaterally leaving that agreement which led to their pursuit of a nuclear weapon? Be specific about the claim in your deflection.
Please provide evidence that the campaign shouldn't be blamed. Perhaps his campaign wasn't prepared you say? That seems like an understatement since lots of voters got stranded in the desert. It's not even the first time this has happened, even though he only hires the best people. Maybe the campaign didn't pay to have return transportation, maybe they forgot or ran out of money.

California is not a battleground state.

Is there a reason you don't want to discuss Trump? This is the Trump thread. I don't see any reason to bring up Biden because he is no longer a candidate.

So I have to disprove your accusation? Sounds on par with the Biden/Harris DOJ.
This is silly. Go back to you mental illness propaganda.
toomuchbaloney said:Votes matter, crowd size is all about vanity for Trump. That's why he lies and exaggerates incessantly about it.
Trump is proud of his rally siz4s that's fortune. I think having so many supporters in this state

The post was questioning Trump's cognition/mental heath. I used baloney criteria to assess Trump on Biden.

No. That's what you use to diagnose Trump LOL
I deflect? You bring up Trump no matter what or wear LOL.
I think there is a non political topic on here you brought him up in. Some comment of "the era of Trump".

Sounds like you have no more thoughtful discussion about Trump's incompetence and lack of empathy and you can't really be specific about your attempt to deflect away from Trump and his mess. So you have a little tantrum.
You are confused about disproving something when I simply wanted you to be specific about your deflection from Trump to Biden.
The discussion of Trump's obvious mental illness is upsetting for you?

That's "Fortune"? His fixation on crowd size is a symptom of his personality disorder. Look it up.
Yes, you often use "baloney" criteria as you did when insisting that Biden has dementia and as you do when insisting that Trump is fine and there's no noticeable decline. since 2020. That's OK. We're all health professionals. We all know how to assess when people are talking out of informed facts and when people are talking out of feelings.
