Hey CNN and MSNBC, just because you show the video of trump struggling

to walk, dragging one of his legs and missing the door handle multiple times in his garbage truck doesn't mean you're covering this in an objective manner. Ask yourselves honestly: if Kamala Harris or Joe Biden did that PLUS they refused to release their medical records, what would you do?

I think we all know the answer.

They are showing the video of him getting into the truck but keeping their mouths shut about how obviously he is struggling. No mention of his physical difficulty even though it is right there to see in their own video. No questioning of his medical condition at all or why he hasn't released his medical records.

Dump’s facist cabal doesn’t give a rat’s ass how much he embarrasses himself in the public’s eye. They want their facist revolution so intensely they will sacrifice even dear leader.

privatize money (crypto), seize control and privatize every government function, take away the free rights of 99% and set us into indentured servitude, if you get sick just suffer and die unless you're rich, when you get too old to work just die unless you're rich…..etc….etc….etc

This is no joke.

He believes there's no such thing as "bad" publicity. That's why he says all these crazy, unfiltered things because he wants to be noticed and talked about.

On the other hand, instances of him unable to balance himself, step up on a platform, or walk down a ramp ... these are clear signs that something is wrong. The news reporters look the other way on purpose, and Faux Noise is the worst. Faux will generally just edit it all out before it goes on the air.

And ESPECIALLY now. It’s starting to be harder to hide. OR excuse. Or pretend it isn’t happening.

But it IS happening. It’s not just that the emperor doesn’t have clothes. It’s that he is NOT, NOW, and HAS NEVER BEEN any kind of “emperor”.

With the presidency clearly beyond his reach and his court issues now breathing down his neck, there's a deliberate reason for the recent uptick in Trump's cognitive and physical declines (and its coverage): stockpiling ammunition to score a legal ruling of being too unfit to be tried OR sentenced.
