He sounds too old to be president. His brain has clearly turned to mush.

[–] zephorah@lemm.ee 29 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago)

That was my first thought, that he was having a stroke.

And seriously, he’s in the same realm as Joe. The same thing can happen to him if it hasn’t already.

We need an age cap. It’s too dangerous not to have one.

Syphilis brain for sure

Plot twist: this is from 2016!

(Okay, not really, but it may as well have been. He’s a demented sociopathic conman, his mental buffer is tiny and keeps getting smaller.)

It's starting to make sense how 19th century people could fall for literal snake oil salesman, but would never elect a clown like Trump. He couldn't exist if he was only able to communicate through print.

Been saying for years, since I first read a bland speech transcription, listening to and reading Trump are very different experiences.

Somehow, came upon Trumps speech from the RNC last night. Started reading random parts outloud. Ended up convinced all the Democrats have to do is run ads with all the incoherent crap he says.

It's really frustrating because he absolutely speaks worse than Biden as far as having a coherent statement, it's just that he still has the capacity to speak loudly and quickly that people confuse it for still being mentally capable... Meanwhile Biden has a decent address to the nation regarding his decision not to run but he sounds like he's whispering and because he's always had a studder he stumbles a bit.

Again with Republicans it's all about projecting strength so Biden appears "weak."

Just a 30 second clip of Trump rambling, with a 3 second "This ad brought to you by the Harris for President campaign"

This is a sample from a speech where he talks non-stop for 82 minutes.

If you started playing the movie Toy Story the moment he first speaks, the end credits would finish, and there would still be another full minute before he finally stops talking again.

Kamala really needs to take him up on that cognitive test challenge he gave to Biden.

I'd get a lot of amusement out of an LLM based entirely off of Trump ramblings

[–] homesweethomeMrL@lemmy.world 24 points 7 months ago

Just watch trump speeches. There’s no difference.

I stopped actually listening to his words in 2015.

I leave to people with stronger constitutions to do this work.

[–] ech@lemm.ee 13 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago) (2 children)

I feel terrible for people that are obliged to transcribe his word vomit for a living, or for historical posterity. Even with all that effort, I fully expect people in the not-too-distant future to wonder why the data of every single transcript of this one guy was somehow corrupted. I would struggle to believe it was real if I hadn't heard it myself.

No one over 70 should be allowed to run for public office

[–] homesweethomeMrL@lemmy.world 53 points 7 months ago (3 children)

No one who has tried to stage a coup to take over the United States should be able to run for public office.

[–] irreticent@lemmy.world 13 points 7 months ago

No one who stole classified documents ~~and stored them in an insecure location~~ should be able to run for public office.

Strike that. Regardless of where he stored them he had no reason (other than treason) to steal those documents in the first place. I can't believe people aren't more outraged about that. Many people who will vote for him know it was wrong but will overlook it and vote for him anyway. It's outrageous!

I have a theory where Trump actually can't really read, he can maybe vaguely tell what 100 or so words look like and has been faking it ever since he was a small child, to the point where he's very good at fake reading. This would explain why he does so terribly with teleprompters.

What a fucking moron.

[–] DogWater@lemmy.world 16 points 7 months ago (6 children)

Taken from this long speech:

https://www.youtube.com/live/kOotP_Ys92k?si=Ddv-PhJhQGMJgVd2

Time stamp 3:17:29 for the relevant bit with a smidge more context.

I got about 1/3 through this and then my brain just shut down and refused to continue. Kind of like the literary equivelent of Foul Old Rons smell.

Demented Donald. Not sure why the Repubs want to run a geriatric brainlet in steep decline.
