I really hope he is this disoriented at the debate.
"This is a debate? Why Doesn’t Someone Tell Me This Stuff?"
“Ms. Harris your time is up, Mr. Trump, how do you respond?” “I’ll get a large chocolate shake, a 20 box of nuggets, uh… a fish delight, and a large fries”

If you actually believe for a second we'll have that debate, I have a lovely bridge connecting Crimea to Novorossiysk that I can let you have an absolute bargain, Brand new, never used, it's perfect for the middle-class professional on the go!
There are hundreds of party operatives right now desperately trying to find a way to get him to think he'll look stronger if he turns down the debate. The closer we get, the more excuses he'll spit out.
The betting odds are 96% that they’ll debate. No need to sell a bridge, you stand to gain 25 to 1 if theres no debate. You are way off what the market predicts.
I'd take that bet. Trump is stupid enough to think he can walk in and steamroll Harris because she's a woman and a person of color. I would be VERY surprised if his team could convince him to bail, regardless of whatever reason they can come up with.

I'm sure his people told him and he just didn't listen, like how he didn't even read his daily briefs when he was in office. Or maybe they've all realized he never listens anyway so no one bothers anymore.
Right, the headline should be "Trump forgot where he was and what he was doing during a Town Hall"
Some people call him a stable genious. He passed a cognitive test don't you know. Man, Woman, TV, Camera, Lights.
At this rate, in 2 months his campaign slogan will be 'meep'
Some people call him a stable genious.
Some call him the gangster of dumb
Some people call him Mo Lester

Oh man, that video was a painful watch. He then immediately switched to directly calling Kamala a communist and a Marxist. It is absolutely insane that there aren't more people walking out on him when he insults his audience's intelligence like that.
It's hilarious how out of touch Republican rhetoric is becoming considering there are a sizeable number of Democrats who think the party leadership and people like Harris, Biden, and Clinton are essentially right-wing politicians at this point.
Calling them communists or socialists is quite the joke when they'd be more than happy to bail out corporations, protect predatory businesses, or pass draconian laws at the expense of the populace.
It's also fun to take the wind of out of the sails of far-right individuals online by pointing this out when they rant about the "socialist, communist, Marxists" running for office.

Firstly, they must have some intelligence to insult.
You can't insult something that doesn't exist.

You just can't find good help these days after surrounding yourself with yes-men, repeatedly firing your staff, implicating them in your crimes, insulting and harassing them, and spending all week golfing and eating cheeseburgers instead of preparing for campaign events.
And then not paying them
What do you want to bet he was told and ignored it?
My bet is he was told and forgot. Ol Dementia Don at it again.
You surrounded yourself with sycophants and imbeciles Donnie… what did you expect?

Old Donny doesn’t know what he’s doing.
this sort of breathless headline does not the former guy. people who like him are like, 'oh he's just off the cuff brash', but no he's like a toddler with a big box of toy guns
Except the toy guns are loaded with real bullets.

So weird that he does not know what he is doing.
He's like a ventriloquist dummy, they just pack him up and put him on a stage, then he shoves his own hand up his ass and makes mouth noises.
Not being from the USA, I can't find what a "Town Hall" means in this context, does anyone care to explain?
Basically, it’s a smaller, informal rally. Usually there’s a stump speech followed by question and answer periods.
The tone and flavor tend to be wildly different depending on who’s running it.
