The election is in three weeks, and Pennsylvania is a must-win state for both Trump and Kamala Harris, but during a rally last night in Montgomery County, northwest of Philadelphia, Trump got bored with the event, billed as a “town hall,” and just played music for almost 40 minutes, scowling, smirking, and swaying onstage. Trump is no stranger to surreal moments, yet this was one of the oddest of his political career.

This kind of behavior would have resulted in discussion of dementia and Alzheimers if it was a Democrat.

      I don’t think this is credit. I’m not saying he masterminded this, I’m saying he saw a person he remembered he was once mad at an threw a tantrum like a child.

      Yeah this is just what is happening when a bunch of sycophants humor an Alzheimer’s patient.

      I remember when America believed Donald Trump was playing 4D chess. But then we all watched in horror as he was playing Chutes and Ladder.

        We think that of all morons in positions of power, because it’s difficult to fathom how they got there otherwise. Despite all the proof to the contrary, we continue to think meritocracy is a thing. The prosperity gospel is one of the more overt expressions of that belief: if you’re rich, it’s obviously because you’re just the best, smartest little cookie and you deserve it all. What other reasons could there possibly be?
