    I don’t think he’s trying to throw the election. I think he’s a tired old man struggling as he’s faced with a crowd increasingly tired of a schtick he’s been running for almost a decade. I’ve said it before but I think people want new material, and he’s too old and set in his ways to reinvent himself. He’s tossing out the same old classics, but they’re not hitting like they were in 2016, and it vexes him. And this is not the first time it happened, either. I didn’t know this, but it was pointed out that after the first hit season ratings of “The Apprentice” quickly plummeted over the years. Trump struggles to keep interest once the novelty value wears off.

    On top of that, yes, he is clearly and obviously deteriorating mentally and it’s a huge indictment to the media that nobody is giving that the same attention they gave Biden’s decline. Even MSNBC (who’s openly anti Trump) isn’t really focusing enough on his cognitive decline.

      People should be more concerned about his vice presidential choice than they were McCain’s. There is a high likelihood that the oldest nominated candidate from a major party will not survive his entire term and it’ll be president JD power & associates.
