(12,595 posts)That Trump may be talking about pollutants. "We're gonna to have clean but it's all flying . . . it's coming through the currents in the air. It all comes. You can, they can name it."
Maybe?
The gibberish factor is bc he doesn't speak in complete thoughts. It's a messed up stream of consciousness.
This isn't new either. I recall reading an unedited version of a WSJ interview where the Don was equally incoherent. Now, we're witnessing the breakdown in public and in real time.

(197,177 posts)He will be their nominee. Thats basically decided.
His big advantage in 2016 was free media saturation. His big disadvantage in 2020 was free media saturation. Those COVID press conferences were a disaster. He (they) tried to scare women in the burbs. The burbs are now his and their kryptonite. The Worlds Greatest Salesman 🙄 not only couldnt close, he failed miserably.

I think it might be more about stress and desperation in his recent remarks than declining mental acuity. He's always been a blubbering dope - I'm not sure he's all that much worse now.

2028 for them could be Nikki Haley, Ron DeSantis, Ted Cruz, or Kristi Noem.
