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.

Hey Ive already voted for Trump. He's not perfect but Kamala the clueless one that talks like a sixth grader running for student council was not an option. She is the true danger that gross incompetence represents.

I like Trumps candor and ability to push though the many years of vicious attacks from an establishment Deep State that has already demonstrated many years of self serving lies and false wars and many years of importing cheap labor that they hate all average Americans. The establishment is represented by a cabal of corruption and corrupt fools on both sides. Trump is trying to break their destructive mold. Trump is the first in many years to take on the OLD ORDER and the old order is represented by those like MSM, Bushes and Obama and Kelly, and many others who have profited and that now hate him for rocking their yacht and boat. Fortunately there are still individuals that put their beliefs such as freedom and Constitution and a strong country and our legacy culture above foreign interests and a pathway to money and power. I'm not claiming Trump is pure and but he at least is trying to change the rot in government.

The ol order has demonstrated they is incapable of fixing anything. Look at infrastructure or Border. Look at Vietnam, Iraq, Ukraine, even not holding China accountable for COVID and our trillions in debt. Perhaps they were involved? Yes Trump had some responsibility in the debt too with a tax cut that failed to demand that corporations that got it must build and produce in USA. And I'm sick of hearing about Israel and the Middle East too and Ukraine too. If they make problems for themselves they need to pay to fix them. Not us. Wars make money for the old order.

Oh and I wish Trump would shut up about Jack Smith. Focus on fixing America not individuals. Kamala is incapable of doing anything.

Harris is going to win this in a blue tsunami.
Senate; house, and Whitehouse will all be blue on election night.

Thanks for sharing. You are very brave to let us all see what a fool you are.

But did you know?

Sometimes it's better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak and to remove all doubt.

I do hope you and convicted felon Trumpy both enjoy the ash heap of history after Nov 5th.

Trump literally just did 3 hours unscripted on Joe Rogan. Everyone can go listen to it themselves and millions already have. The Dems lies no longer work as their control of the media has been broken.

@#10 ... Trump literally just did 3 hours unscripted on Joe Rogan. ...

Trump records a 3-hour interview with Joe Rogan about the election, Harris and whales
www.nbcnews.com

... The former president said he was the "opposite of a dictator" in the interview with the popular podcast host.


In a highly anticipated interview, Donald Trump touched on a wide range of cultural and political issues Friday night in an three-hour conversation with Joe Rogan, who hosts one of the biggest podcasts in the world.

The recording went on so long that Trump arrived several hours late to his rally that night in Traverse City, Mich. Frustrated at having to wait so long, many people left.

The Rogan interview is a continuation of Trump turning to nontraditional media outlets, including podcasts, in the weeks leading up to Election Day. Rogan also invited Vice President Kamala Harris to do an interview, but her campaign has declined. Rogan's podcast has more than 17 million YouTube subscribers.

Much of the interview, which put online around 10 p.m. Friday night, was rehashed commentary Trump has expressed throughout the campaign.

He said the war in Ukraine would never have happened if he were president, complained about moderators not fact-checking Vice President Kamala Harris enough during her one debate with Trump, blasted the traditional media, did things like continue to frame Harris and Democrats as more dangerous than foreign foes and dabbled in conspiratorial talk about the 2020 election being stolen.

Rogan at one point asked Trump to provide examples of how the 2020 election was stolen, as he has long falsely claimed. Trump gave a largely rambling answer that touched on election law changes that he said did not get proper legislative approval. ...

Donald Trump Tells Joe Rogan the Biggest Mistake' of His Presidency Was Picking Bad,' Disloyal People'
variety.com

... Donald Trump sat down with Joe Rogan to record a three-hour interview for "The Joe Rogan Experience" podcast Friday. The episode was released later Friday evening.

In the wide-ranging discussion, Trump said his biggest mistake during his time in the White House was hiring "bad people, or disloyal people." The former president also repeated unsubstantiated claims that the 2020 election was "rigged" -- but when Rogan asked him if he was going to release evidence proving the election was "stolen," Trump changed the subject. ...

Rigger please!

3 hours of listening to Trumpy ramble nonsensically?

I respect myself and value my time way too much.

So ... no.

Thanks.

There are a lot of people who have never heard Trump speak pretending to know something about it.
I've heard them both. Trump is a great speaker and Harris is a terrible speaker, to the point that she needs to be hidden.
don't care, still voting kamala.

Kamala Booed After Beyonc Bait-N-Switch

Abysmal on all levels, both the baiting and the switching. And Springstein the draft dodger wrapping himself in the flag... ugh. These people are tone-deaf and desperate to hide Harris behind any available washed-up cover tripe.
don't care, still voting kamala.

Apparently some people don't know what a great speaker sounds like.

There are many many great orators in our history.

They would include people like Patrick Henry, Abraham Lincoln, FDR, Ronald Reagan, JFK, Martin Luther King, Barack Obama, Winston Churchill, Pericles, Julius Caesar

Trumpy is not on that list and never will be.

However being famous orator is not the reason I am voting for Kamala.

It's her character.
