This is wild.

(1,474 posts)like seal flippers, and making that weird gurgling sound, he is so repulsive.
It was just stupid stuff. The articles describing it are pretty accurate. He went off script and started shrieking about a conspiracy theory involving the mail.

(1,474 posts)It was really weird to watch that bizarre scene straight out of the handmaid's tale. Trump ranting, and what's up with his reupholstered face? He looked like he's gotten it redone in a sort of crushed tan suede.

(16,254 posts)Lots about the Democrats raising taxes out of the gate, grabbing your guns, defunding police, allowing immigration, cheating on the election through mail-in voting, too progressive, losing companies and jobs overseas, wrecking the economy...on and on and on in that vein. He made fun of Biden and his mental condition (ironic), hiding in his basement and not appearing in public, not being strong enough to handle the job. Of course, Harris being nasty...
I can't remember all of them, but just include anything he's said in the last week and you've got it.
And, of course, he goes on about what a great job he's done on the pandemic...we would have had millions of deaths by now, if he hadn't made the moves he did. Supplying the world with ventilators, PPE, advice. How we're going to be back to normal soon, with schools opening, people back to work, the economy soaring in a short while...breaking all kinds of records on Wall Street...his new cure from former COVID victims, vaccine coming soon...
He's wired on the applause and shouts from the audience of 12 more years (not to mention something else like cocaine/adderall or whatever he's using). He was on a HIGH! If he died tonight, he'd be a happy man (or, whatever).
I couldn't watch it all, so there's certainly more.
