Vice President Harris: I've been hearing reports that Trump’s team is saying he's suffering from exhaustion. That's apparently the excuse for why he's not doing interviews. Being President is probably one of the hardest jobs in the world. We really do need to ask, if he's exhausted being on the campaign trail, is he fit to do the job?

(2,170 posts)won't make it through the MAGA skulls, but trump either continues to skip appearances and get repeatedly hammered or feels compelled to resume them and show his continuing decline.

Reminds me of the Soviet press saying that Boris Yeltsin had a cold.

(17,785 posts)Adderall may be habit-forming, and this medicine is a drug of abuse. Tell your doctor if you have had problems with drug or alcohol abuse.
Stimulants have caused stroke, heart attack, and sudden death in people with high blood pressure, heart disease, or a heart defect.
Do not use this medicine if you have used a MAO inhibitor in the past 14 days, such as isocarboxazid, linezolid, phenelzine, rasagiline, selegiline, or tranylcypromine or have received a methylene blue injection.
Adderall may cause new or worsening psychosis (unusual thoughts or behavior), especially if you have a history of depression, mental illness, or bipolar disorder.
You may have blood circulation problems that can cause numbness, pain, or discoloration in your fingers or toes.

(34,703 posts)I used to take (prescribed) Adderall and I remember a stretch of time when I barely had any sleep for days and I experienced a hallucination. While walking past my son's room I saw a group of guys sitting at a table or something like that. It was a quick flash, like a microsecond. I knew that it had to be related to exhaustion combined with the meds, so I didn't overthink it, but I can only imagine how someone like trump would handle that--he would probably turn it into a conspiracy or maybe ghosts or psychic abilities and go down a rabbit hole into full psychosis.
Also, hasn't he been shitting himself? That's probably something they're trying to get under control as well. Why won't these media folks expose him? I'll never understand it. A candidate shitting himself in the middle of an interview is important information for American voters to have.

I have to admit, when I read this my first thought was they are positioning Trump to 'drop out' so they can make Vance president in the unlikely event of a Trump win. Vance is 100 times more malleable than Trump and is almost a better liar.

It was deeply satisfying to see her tell il douche to his face "you are a disgrace."

(2,534 posts)Obama, steamrolled Al Gore, tarred and feathered both Clinton AND his wife, and made Carter look crotchety for wearing sweaters and turning down the thermostat. About the last Democratic president that wasn't relentlessly attacked by Republicans and their sycophantic lackeys in the media was Johnson. And I think that that was only because he knew about Nixon's treason, the South hadn't yet turned, and there was a lot of sympathy for the Democratic party after the assassination.

YAAAAAAAAAS!
Putting him on the receiving end of his rhetorical habits is so gratifying.
I hope she says this every hour of every day to the point where he goes on defense and embarrasses himself wildly by trying to prove her wrong.

(9,253 posts)Odd that he suffers from exhaustion, as he’s been unemployed for four years, and when President he never went to work before 11:00AM.

(24,044 posts)Sleep 'til nine, do the hair 'til 10, motorcade out to Andrews AFB to play some golf, stopping on the way there and on the way back to go thru the McDonalds drive thru. Watch some Fox News, Tweet some all-cap messages, wonder where Melania has gone off to, haven't seen her all week, turn in.
As far as policy: fill the cabinet with nihilists and anarchist, turn them loose, the place runs itself.
It's good to be king.

(6,930 posts)Too tired to sneer and pull faces at the camera.
Too tired to have Party of Trump (clan) meetings and insult every minority group he can think of from single individuals (Kamala) to half the population (women).
Have the angry/attacking/defensive tweeting gone down any, I wonder?
Either his ego/drug motivated energy levels are running on empty, or he is at stage 1 of the Final Countdown, where the Grim Reaper visits him in the end.
The MSM will ignore this, though.
Out of politeness, I guess (being generous there) - but if he does go with the Grim Reaper, they will suddenly have blank moments in their print and TV media. He is a good space filler after all, lots of material to work with.
We might even see a resurgence of feel-good news, like 'Fireman rescues cat stuck in tree' as leading news on your local evening TV news.
