He’s too old. He should drop out. I’m hearing more and more people say that recently.
Right now trump is almost 20 years older than Kamala Harris. We have never elected someone as old as trump to the office of the presidency. The man can’t drink a glass of water.
Can he walk down a ramp unaided? Can he hear out of his right ear? Can we really entrust the government to someone that decrepit?
Don’t you think he looks tired?
He’s so old he requires a bandage the size of his ear for a 2 centimeter cut.
How long is he going to wear that maxi pad anyway?
Until the election, obviously.
bandageMaxi pad
Keeps repeating himself over and over, and going off on some sort of delusion that he’s been the actual president for the last four years
Ha, awesome doctor who reference
Just six words ❤️
I saw parts of his RNC “speech” and he could barely string a coherent sentence together. Really low energy and kept falling asleep. He needs to drop out.
Well, in that case he’s as coherent as 10 years ago.
Even by donnie’s standards, he’s getting incoherent. And that’s really saying something.
I know, it was just a low hanging fruit.
Lol at that username
To be fair, you aren’t wrong: his coherency had already substantially declined even back in 2016 (compared to e.g. interviews from the '80s and '90s).
Everyone is saying it. Why, just the other day, a man ran up to me, tears in his eyes, and he said, “Sir! Sir! Why won’t donnie drop out of the race? He’s far too old and senile!”
It’s true, more people are saying it every day. “Dozing Donald” they call him. So many people are calling him that, but he can’t even hear them. It’s sad.
Didn’t Trump fall asleep during his trial and the convention?
We want a president who can stay awake.
I can’t believe the Republicans are running such an old candidate. I mean, what if he dies in office? what about his mental state? I just don’t know if this is good for the country.
he should probably drop out.
MANY people are saying trump should drop out based solely on age.
Dude has been wearing diapers for at least 12 years.
Trump told CNN he believes Vice President Kamala Harris will be easier to beat.
I want to see a debate between a felon and a former prosecutor. If she keeps referring to him as such, he’ll lose his shit. His derangement will know no bounds.
I kind of doubt Trump debates Harris. He’s obviously senile and he can just say, “She didn’t win a single primary. I don’t have to debate her.” He’ll probably pull the same shenanigans as in 2020 and get CNN or whoever to have a “town hall” Q&A where everyone in attendance is a Trump supporter.
And then she needs to call him out constantly for being a weak ass bitch. Provoke him until he loses his shit.
I would be okay with seeing Harris needle the misogynist and racist Donald until the bigoted rage overflows.
I bet that he will drop the N-word at some point.
Would that finally clue in so-called “moderate” Repubs that he is a blatant racist? No, somehow they’ll claim she was acting up and deserved it. (Actually they are racists and approve of using the word.)
Conservatives and their media lapdogs. “He made an honest mistake and had a slip of the tongue, okay. Give him the benefit of the doubt. Least racist President in American history.”
It wouldn’t be a debate, it would be a cross examination
He could just drop out of the race to avoid this.
I’d love if everyone, bothsiderist “liberal media” included, would start referring to donnie as a felon, all the time, and with every mention. Including in headlines. For example this one: “After Biden drops out, convicted felon Trump lashes out”
I like it.
Felonious DJT
Time for the press to hold Trump to the same standard as they have Biden.
lol
Hahahahaha. It’s dawning on the MAGA turds that this won’t be an easy win for them now.
Trump said he’s happy Biden dropped out because Kamala will be easier to beat lol. He acts like a child
He’s lying so that means it’s the opposite and he’s shitting his diapers.
Exactly. He and others in his party have been telling journalists for quite a while that they preferred a matchup against Biden. Naturally he flip-flops on that the moment the situation changes.
He’s terrified that they’re going to pick someone who won’t let him get away with bullshitting his way through the debates.
It’ll almost certainly be Kamala
I’m sure trump wishes he could drop out, but his only possibility to dodge consequences for his crimes is to be president again. He also loves his demented pep rallies.
I’ve got a new winning slogan for the Trump team: “She’s brown.”
“Sun Rises, Trump Lashes Out”
Old convicted felon yells at cloud
If the DNC keeps Harris I think she will get beat
She’s the only candidate with access to the existing campaign funds. There’s not enough time to refund them all and donate to a new candidate before early voting ballots go out in eight weeks. If it’s not Harris, they’ll have to be independently wealthy to fund their own campaign in time.
Why is US politics relying so much on campaigning and donations anyway? Not that we don’t have the odd politician speaking somewhere physically here either but it is fairly rare in comparison. Most of the whole “get to know” part happens through TV or internet media. The US just seems to make it a weird spectacle, which imo just further reinforces the whole “team” aspects of it and with that the whole two party system.
Our news system has no integrity, and is loyal only to money. Ad campaigns are the only option to reach the passively informed with a clear and uncompromised message.
Is there no publicly funded news media / broadcaster? Like the German Tagesschau, or UK’s BBC, or the Canadian CBC, etc? Typically there’s a higher amount of trust for those, since they are mostly acting independently and the majority of funding coming from the people itself.
We have NPR and PBS. They don’t get as much exposure as corporate news. You’ll see posts on Lemmy from both publications often, but this is obviously not the average American’s experience.
There is, unfortunately they’re viewed by on of the political parties as being evil liberal propaganda machines, and they very much want to privatize them or just sell all of their content off and shutter them.
In 2010, a biased and purchased Supreme Court declared that wealthy people are allowed to spend whatever amounts they want to on propaganda. There’s no way to get a word in edgewise.
Yes, she’s the only candidate, but the funds can also go to the DNC or a Super PAC if Biden directs them there.
That’s incorrect. Only a few thousand is transferable to a candidate not on the existing ticket. The rest would need to be refunded to donors.

Biden can redirect the funds to anyone he chooses. As long as it’s used for a campaign.
Absolutely not. The funds can go to Harris, because her name is on the campaign to which they were donated, or they can be refunded.

Bernie was able to redirect his funds to the DNC after he got shafted.
Lol. The troll guy sowing discord again
Yep Clinton bad. Biden bad. Harris bad. Nothing will satisfy this person.
Well Trump would
This person is a russian propagandist. Ignore them.
Do you see Russians in your sleep too?
Maybe one day a party will nominate your perfect candidate, and then you can watch them get their ass whooped because the policies you support aren’t popular.
That’s the thing, the policies supported by socialists are wildly popular until the socialist label goes on it.
