He doesn't have a reason to hide why he was voting for him, so I'll chalk it up to the low information voters who vote on vibes.

In low-information voters' defense, it's been amazing to me as a non-American how Trump's literal dementia was not in the front pages of the media every single day. The complicity of the news media in normalizing a senile candidate should't go unnoticed.




>Trump's literal dementia

Nope.

I watched that now infamous three hour marathon podcast he did with Joe Rogan. That kind of performance is not something a demented man can do, full stop. To say nothing of his utterly crazy rally schedule, I legitimately don't know where he gets his energy.

Hate him if you want, that's your right and I will respect that. But Trump is terrifyingly sharp, especially for a man his age.

>The complicity of the news media in normalizing a senile candidate should't go unnoticed.

The media dumped Biden right quick after his old age couldn't be hidden anymore. That debate he had was straight up elder abuse by the media.


> I legitimately don't know where he gets his energy.

Drugs. Incoherent hour-long rants are the product of stimulants, the kind that give you the sort of terrible judgement that no one would ever want out of a presidential candidate.


>Incoherent

Nope.

That three hour long podcast was a very coherent conversation, and it was quite enlightening in what Trump actually means when he says he has "good relationships" with people like Putin and Kim Jong Un.

Specifically in regards to the impact of that on the election, neither Biden nor Harris can talk their way out of a 1st grade reading class due to his age and her inability to orate respectively.

Communicating clearly and with conviction is among the most basic of required skills as a leader of a country, and neither could do even that much.


Rogan pressed him on a number of topics and trump simply couldn't answer. He had no solutions, he had no ideas. He was empty-headed, and it really showed.
