Do you get the feeling something strange going on with Trump and the Republicans?

[kentuck]

They seem to have crawled into a shell?

What's going on?

What has Trump been doing for the past several days? Is there something going on with his health? It is quite unusual for him to be so quiet for such a long time?

Are they hiding information from the press and the American people?

[Wounded Bear]

1. trump's abscence from the public stage is curious...nt

[NoveltySocks]

24. He's gotta be climbing up the walls by this point

He feeds off of attention.

[Hieronymus Phact]

85. Not really curious at all.

They're being smart: Democrats are self-immolating, why interrupt that?

Someone must be sitting on trump because it's eating him up to not be the center of attention.

[Bluethroughu]

100. What is really going on with trump?

The usual game of projection. His party wants to can him.

[Model35mech]

2. The "crisis of confidence" of some Dem have been doing their work

When your opposition is damaging itself, best thing to do is step back and let them go at it.

On edit: to be clear, I am in no way implying that Joe Biden is making a mistake. I'm pointing at the few Dem backstabbers that are suggesting he step down.

[Wounded Bear]

25. Thing is, that attributes to trump a level of intelligence and self control I don't believe he has in him...

[erronis]

60. I've never thought trump was really in charge of his mouth or actions

They found a particularly effective dumb-ass to be the mad disrupter, but there are groups pulling his strings - like a drunk pinocchio.

[slightlv]

93. You're right, of course, he doesn't have

that level of intelligence about him; but his handlers like Stephen Miller DO have that much evil intelligence. And I doubt he has totally free access even to his truth social account. There are minders and writers and others who make sure what's being "truthed" follows a formula or specific topic. So often you can tell simply by the words used... e.g., who ever heard trump use the word abyss, let alone abysmal? That's a higher intellect writing that truth for him. I'll be he's lucky if he remembers how to press the correct buttons in order to "truth"...

[sop]

26. "Strike at what is weak." - Sun Tzu

Napoleon's strategy is good politics, but Trump is known for going after his opponent's weaknesses, especially when they're down. His silence is uncharacteristic.

[moose65]

50. That's what normal people would do

But Trump isn't "normal." When has he EVER been able to keep quiet while an opponent hangs themselves? Never!

He is not capable of being out of the spotlight. He lives for it and thrives on it.

[Mad_Machine76]

31. That's a good theory

but that almost seems too simple. Plus, he always loves to be the center of attention no matter what.

[shrike3]

45. Yes.

[itcfish]

54. That is exactly what

I was thinking.

Trump is basking in the success of his lying debate and he is sitting back watching how we devour our own. Why waste energy when some democrats are doing the work for him.

[Self Esteem]

3. I think it's far simpler than that, unfortunately.

Democrats are doing enough damage, aided by a media narrative looking to create chaos, that they can get away with remaining on the sidelines.

Trump doesn't need to say a thing when you have the party questioning Biden for him.

[Model35mech]

8. Yep. They're likely working on their own problems, such as

messaging away the shock revulsion people experience upon learning of the 2025 project

[themaguffin]

105. They are watching the media torch the President

[NoRethugFriends]

4. nothing is going on

They're just letting the Biden thing play out

[Lovie777]

5. Total focus on Pres Biden....................................

and a few Dems who side with them.

6. I hope he croaked and they're hiding it

That is all

67. One of the things

that gets me out of bed in the morning. Please make it so.

[Attilatheblond]

80. Sadly, that won't really solve the problem

The puppet masters probably have a list and potential new puppets on speed dial. Guessing Marco Rubio is near the top of their list.

[dweller]

84. Same lawsuits to keep Dem replacement off ballot

Works both ways , so they can forget that

Made a comment from his golf cart a few days ago and supposed to have a rally at his golf club Tuesday.

94. May It Be

[MontanaMama]

104. I can imagine his handlers

having to wipe up the greasy orange stain he would leave behind.

[Takket]

7. The media only questions and speculates on Democrats' health.

So we’ll never know

Two standards of coverage depending on which party the media wants to win (hint: it isn’t us)

[Mike Nelson]

9. They are...

... planning the VP pick and Convention. They want both to be positive moves forward. They plan to win in November. It's surprising that Trump has been more low-key. Maybe they realize the less we see of him, the better!

[samnsara]

10. i think most of them are so thankful that msm is so effing hooked on

...finding fault with joe that no one is even mentioning trumps own awful performance...

[Fiendish Thingy]

11. What's going on is nobody wants to interrupt their opponent when they are in the middle of self sabotage

One sign that Biden and the Dems have turned the corner on the debate debacle will be when Trump and the GOP start yammering again.

It’s already started, in their defences/denial of Project 2025…

[Orrex]

13. Could Djt have caught what Biden had at the debate?

Could Djt's immune system be so much worse than Biden's that something very serious resulted?

[getagrip_already]

21. Wouldnt that be ironic?

After he tried to kill biden with covid at the last debate?

I'm sure Joe's team shared the cold diagnosis with tsf's team, so they can't justifiably complain. They will still say he tried to kill him, but it won't be justified.

[getagrip_already]

14. He is having a health crisis of some kind

You can here it in his voice in the few clips that have leaked out. Slurred words. Slow speach. Weak voice.

This not a case of letting the dems hurt themselves. This is trump.

If he isn't in the news, he is panicking. His ego won't allow it.

There have been several cases where former aides have leaked nasty news about him and crickets. When has he ever done that? Ever?

Something is wrong with him.

He is not just laying low. He isn't capable of that.

[kentuck]

18. It would seem out of character for Trump to sit back and watch Biden being attacked...

...without piling on and kicking him while he is down.

It's all just speculation right now.

[Lemon Lyman]

91. Nah

I doubt that very much.

Some people have been saying forever (ugh...now I sound like it) that it's got "X,Y,Z". One you see a lot is that it's got some kind of dementia based on the way it stands or the way it swings its leg or the way it screws up a word or the way it says something completely insane ("Hannibal Lecter was an interesting guy&quot .

There are plenty of problems with it. But all of the experts on our side who say this stuff are desperate to ascribe things to it. I HIGHLY doubt it has any of the illnesses our people talk about it having.

As for staying out of the news...people over there are hiding its phone and keeping it tied up while the media attacks President Biden. Smart strategy. Helps when the media is always on their side.

I do think it will pick a nothing veep instead of someone that helps it because it can't allow itself to be upstaged. Knocking on wood on that one myself.

[cyclonefence]

15. I can't believe TFG isn't going nonstop about Biden's debate performance

yet I'm not aware of a single instance of his making fun of the open-mouthed blank look our guy sported. And while I agree that the smart thing to do would be to let the Democrats tear Biden down, to step back and let us kill ourselves, I do not believe for one minute that Rep leaders could keep Trump's mouth shut. I do think something is going on, and I think it might have to do with TFG's mental health.

[Johnny2X2X]

16. They think they're winning now

Just sitting back and watching the media go after Biden.

[Dawgman49]

17. Why should they be out there ?

They’re got a bunch of democratic cowards wringing their hands and jumping ship…. Let them do the work for their psychopath

[BannonsLiver]

19. Pretty obvious

Why would he interrupt the media orgy about Biden's future?

[Orrex]

34. That would be true of a normal, rational, functioning human being

But it doesn't explain Trump's silence.

[BannonsLiver]

56. Yeah I think Occam's razor applies

I know people are t used to that with trump but it is what is is. I don’t buy the grand conspiracy theories or whatever the people who have started the dozen or so threads about this subject today are trying to sell. He’ll be back irritating everyone when the time comes.

[Orrex]

61. Regrettably, I doubt that they're covering up his death

But it's definitely weird that the pathological Truth Socializer hasn't been all over the feed in these past few days.

Sadly, you're almost certainly correct, and he'll soon return to shitting all over the world again while the media gleefully laps it up behind him.

[bigtree]

20. what are they hiding?

...what do they really know about Trump and Epstein?

What other crimes and abominations about their candidate are they covering up? They knew Trump's name was on the list but they lied for a year claiming it was Joe Biden on the list.

What more are they covering up about Donald Trump? Why are they hiding him?

[brush]

27. It would be nice if the MSM covered the Eptein revelations for a while instead of...

continue their anti-Biden frenzy like a pack of wild piranha.

But that would mean being responsible journalists, something they seem to have forgotten how to do.

[Joinfortmill]

90. This! Epstein papers dropped.

[ultralite001]

101. There is that... TIA

[MOMFUDSKI]

23. They know they can't win the election with

their bullshit abortion issue, project 25, SC appointments, and more. They dug the hole. Now they reside there.

[NoMoreRepugs]

28. Either they are getting out of the way of the Phootie propaganda machine directed at Biden OR

they are gearing up for the fallout from more Epstein-Trump information maybe??

[choie]

29. No, they see the Democratic party canabalizing itself

and are just sitting back and watching us destroy ourselves.

[spanone]

32. He's holding a rally tomorrow night (Tuesday) in Florida. Doral golf course.

I've enjoyed not hearing from him.

[Evolve Dammit]

51. Maybe someone will shove a couple Titleists in his pie hole

or a three wood….

[spanone]

102. Bwahahahahahaaa

[Silent Type]

36. Just looked, he's got several rallies coming up. Otherwise, suspect he's been laying low, a "please proceed" moment.

I don't doubt GOPers have been considering -- if things change dramatically -- another candidate.

[lindysalsagal]

39. He's clearly got the scotus saving his hide, so, he's shutting up.

[Think. Again.]

43. Every republican voter except 2 in Wyoming...

...are demanding trump step aside for an unknown, unfunded replacement.

[OhZone]

44. If it was anyone else but Rump, I'd say he was letting the enemy attack themselves -

But I think something else is going on. Maybe his overdose of adderall or whatever, has hit him hard.

[BComplex]

103. I think you're right OhZone. with Chris LaCivita (of Swiftboater fame) as his campaign coordinator

there is definitely something nasty coming. The silence from the trump campaign has been deafening.

[czarjak]

46. Stiffled finally, maybe?

Just kiddin'!

[niyad]

98. Don't get me all excited!!!

[recovering_democrat]

47. ??? Vice Presidential candidate

I am particularly concerned about the absence of announcing who will be the VP candidate. The perception of Trump leading in the polls may be because of this matter. I haven't seen a single name that would "help" Trump.

[PortTack]

75. will be flynn?

[Bobstandard]

48. Well, there are those crazy posts

He’s still in all-caps form on his Twitter-look-alike.

[Raven123]

52. Because the media is doing their work for them

[1WorldHope]

53. Does his sentencing happen this week on Thursday?

[Jrose]

58. No. It's postponed until September 2024

[1WorldHope]

64. Ahh crap. That was lost to me in the storm.

[bucolic_frolic]

55. Testing new Jack Up meds for RNC speech. It's all been projection.

He hopes Biden campaign won't fact check his somnambulance.

[IbogaProject]

65. They are letting us implode

And they and he are staying out of sight while the Epstein case files drop is fresh.

[TheRickles]

66. Is his team worried that he'll be asked about the new/old Epstein transcripts?

Not that he'd answer, but someone might go for a kill shot.

[GreenWave]

68. Maybe he got Novichok on himself before the debate and forgot to shake hands.

[flamingdem]

69. Biden 18 appearances Trump 0 in 10 days. Umm, where Cheato?

Biden: 18 public appearances in 10 days. Trump: 0 public appearances in 10 days. Biden does the work.

[dlk]

71. Trump's physical and mental health are visibly declining.

No telling what his current status may be. Given this fact, it makes the news media’s obsession with President Biden’s age and mental acuity all the more insidious.

[Bluethroughu]

72. Trump is getting canned, I bet.

They need a Paul Ryan or someone that seems as if they could blame all the chaos on trump, but it's everyone in that party ready to bring fascism to our country.

This has been decades in the making.
President Biden/ Harris 2024 all the way!

[Dr. T]

73. Have you ever seem the movie

"Weekend at Bernie's"? Bernie is dead, but they prop him up and haul him around as if he were still alive. We can only hope.

[Scrivener7]

74. They're letting us shoot ourselves with our circular firing squad. And we're

obliging them by giving air to the issue.

[SpankMe]

76. Nothing's going on here. It's political SOP

Republicans have quieted down to let the controversies within the Democratic party play out publicly. While we all debate Joe's fitness and air our own internal dirty laundry on the subject, Repubs are content to let these public airings sow doubt among the electorate at large. Why should they continue to speak up and look like the idiots that they are when we're shooting ourselves in the foot on their behalf.

We've done the same. When Republicans were having some especially bad days, we've been content to let them self-immolate and save up our counterpunches for a later time when they're needed more.

I wouldn't worry about what the cons have up their sleeve. My opinion is that they're simply holding back while we're looking bad all on our own.

[flashman13]

77. Trump hasn't been quiet for ten minutes much less ten days in the last nine years.

Anyone can text TSF's deranged nonsense. Texts don't mean anything. Where is the big ugly orange face?

I'm always a skeptic, but it does seem something very odd is going on.

[Beck23]

78. Could it be the Epstein files?

- Or a health problem?

[plimsoll]

79. Mr Trump, can you respond to your multiple inclusions in the Epstein case?

[Katcat]

81. Is his plane

Still parked beside putins plane or has pooter had it moved?

[lark]

82. When tcf was self-destructing during his last year in office, at one point Biden went silent.

It was so that he didn't distract folks from tcf's murderous idiocies. TCF is truly demented and fatigued and is using this to rest up. He's not going to give us new tape to point to him as being cognitively impaired, he knows when he opens his mouth this could always happen.

Now, is there something wrong with TCF, hell to the fuck yes! He's so purposefully ignorant and lies so frequently and can't pronounce common words so many times, he's proven he has a major issue. Biden's is age, TCF's is age ++++++++++++++ and total hatred for our county and it's people except the ones that are fluffing him and those he just laughs at.

Edited for clarity x2.

[Traurigkeit]

83. MaybeTSF is dead ?

gotta ask

[Kid Berwyn]

86. "He ain't here."

[usonian]

89. Putin's running out of money.

Great Britain
France
🇺🇸

[ancianita]

92. Fear is what's going on. Fear of his base. Fear for their jobs. Fear for their families. FEAR.

TSF's health has always been an issue.
TSF has always been mentally, psychologically and physically unfit to run or be president.

TRUMP IS MIA. PUTIN AND HIS OWNER-DONORS TOLD HIM TO STFU & STAND BY. THEY THINK THEY GOT THIS.

WE DEMS AND BIDEN DON'T GAF.

[3825-87867]

96. Maybe...he just ran out of water!

You know, all those flushings! 10 -15 times and it still doesn't work!
Of course, that's for his daily offerings.
Documents probably require LOTS more water.

[BlueKota]

97. Maybe he's trying to assure his Christo Fascist Donors

he really still backs Project 25, but he had to say he didn't, because people don't like it. He'd have to do it on the qt.

[Rocknation]

99. I've been thinking the same thing, and I've been thinking it since shortly BEFORE

the bellyflop public reception of Project 2025 and the revelation of mainstream media Trump donors:

Either he's paying out so much in legal fees that he no can longer afford to hold big public events anymore, or he's started having major cognitive decline issues of his own...

[awesomerwb1]

106. He's probably been told to keep quiet

to keep the media attention on the Dems while they're in self-destructive mode.
