How Trump Talks: Abrupt Shifts, Profane Insults, Confusions

Trump's recent public appearances have been strikingly erratic, coarse and often confusing, even for a politician with a history of ad-libbing in three consecutive presidential runs ... His speeches have gotten longer and more repetitive compared with those of past campaigns. He promotes falsehoods and theories that are so far removed from reality or appear wholly made up that they are often baffling to anyone not steeped in MAGA media or internet memes.

He jumps more abruptly between subjects and from his script to improvising, sometimes offering what sound like non-sequiturs. He occasionally mixes up words or names, and some of his sentences are meaningless or nonsensical. As he delivered more speeches in October, he has made multiple slip-ups per day. He has become more profane in public.

With less than two weeks of campaigning left, Vice President Kamala Harris is increasingly trying to use Trump's words against him. At recent rallies, she has started playing clips of him speaking and calling him "unstable and unhinged."

"He has called it the weave,'" Harris said at a rally on Saturday. "But I think we here will call it nonsense."

I call it the decompensating of a man losing his mental faculties right out in the open on a near daily basis. And I also call it immensely disqualifying for anyone seeking the highest pressure job on the planet.

And we haven't even spoken about his total unfitness for the office even if he wasn't a criminal convict, thief, grifter, con artist, racist, misogynist, xenophobic bigot. So there's all that too.

I have some sympathy for his staff who have desperately tried to keep him glued together until after the election. All part of that "exhausted" claim, no doubt, to hide the truth from his well-heeled donors to whom he has made many promises of favoritism.

Trump is on a rail to becoming a vegetable.

"And when he croaks we get President Vance. Sigh.

Let's don't borrow trouble. America has always righted its own Ship of State when the chips are down.

Kamala Harris seems to be on a rail straight into the Oval Office while Trump appears to be crashing . . . as though whatever medication he's been on has run its course.
