We get that a lot. The problem is figuring out who is who.

Is trump the troll? Or the whole of the GOP leadership? Or is it his followers?

Elon Musk, Miriam Adelson and Dick Uihlein — put a combined $220 million into groups supporting Donald J. Trump in July, August and September.

"Ms. Adelson, and her late husband, the casino magnate Sheldon Adelson" are GOP megadonors. "Dick Uihlein, the chief executive of the shipping company Uline and one of the wealthiest people in the Midwest. Mr. Uihlein put a staggering $49 million last quarter into a super PAC he steers, Restoration PAC, which in turn dispensed most of his money into a collection of pro-Trump and other Republican groups, including Turnout for America. The super PAC has also run its own pro-Trump advertisements."

So Trump is apparently going to work at McDonalds? 

I wonder how many minutes he will last? I doubt he would last a single batch

Hi Nigel,

I think you are right.

On another note:  It does seem as though the Trump campaign cannot keep from continuing to lie to us:  Fox News did not disclose that the female audience it selected for the event was packed with local Republican supporters and the network edited its broadcast to remove some of their vocal advocacy of Trump.

I can't decide if his cultists are so stupid they believe his lies, or they know he's lying and are too unethical to care anyway.

It's the latter.  They want to see someone stick it to half the country.  He fulfills their sociopathic dreams.

I just watched the entire Trump Chicago economic interview. Very surprised at the audience cheering for him and booing the interviewer about Jan 6.

Trump seemed more coherent than usual, but what an arrogant fuckwit - of course he ‘knows’ more about economics and tariffs than the experts. 

In Aus the C word is very common. A friend who fosters was describing an abusive mother and said “she lacks the depth and warmth to be a c…’. I think that describes Trump perfectly

Given that he's a convicted felon and rapist. How could any other story hold water. As long as he has a hold on his ignorant, jebus loving base, anything goes. At least until he shoots somebody on 5th ave. NYNY. Or turns SEAL team lose on his enemies.

At a recent town hall, construction worker Carlos Aguilera asked Trump if the recent natural disasters had made him reconsider his claims that climate change is a hoax.  His reply:

What I do think is this. We can't destroy our country over being forced to do things, they want to do the green New Deal, they call it the green New Deal some people call it the green new hoax. They want to spend 93 trillion dollars on the climate. Now I happen to think there are very important elements of climate, water and air. In my administration I had the cleanest air on record, and yet I didn't destroy jobs. I had the most jobs of any administration ever. I also had the cleanest water, crystal clean. We had the cleanest water, the cleanest air. To me those are the primary factors. Clean water, clean air. We went into rural parts of the country and fixed people's water. They were drinking such terrible water. It was very important to me. All of that's important. At the same time, you can't give up your country. You can't say that we're not gonna have any jobs anymore. If they said, if they took their ultimate, which is 93 trillion, the Green New Deal, 93 trillion, that's more money than we would have in 20 years, we wouldn't be able to survive. We wouldn't be able to live. So I always feel that with the climate and I have been a great I have been an environmentalist. I built many things. I own Doral right next door and we did that in a very environment—I got awards, environmental awards for the way I built it, for the water, the way I use the water, the sand, the mixing of the sand and the water. I mean. Many different. But I've had many awards over the years for environmental, the way I've built, because you know about building, that's what you do. It's very important to me. At the same time, we can't destroy our country and we're competing against countries that don't spend anything on climate change, like China and others. And they're able to make their product for tremendously less than us. And we're not going to let that happen either. We have to have a strong country and we have to have a nice climate. And there's nobody better at that I think at that combination than me. I will say this though, I hear a lot about climate and they talk about global warming etc etc because they used to call it global warming now they call it climate change cause that covers everything, global warming. The real global warming that we have to worry about is nuclear. The water is coming up 1/8 of an inch over 300 years, the ocean is going to rise and you know nobody knows if that's true or not but they're worried about the ocean rising an 1/8 of an inch or a quarter of an inch in 300 years. What I'm worried about is nuclear weapons tomorrow. 

And this is a man who wants to be president.

Hi Jerry,

I do believe 'dementia' was 3 or 4 stops ago.

If he wins (I don't think he will, but I didn't think he would in 2016 either), I think the 25th A will be applied shortly after inauguration,

Given the stupidity of the Rs, I wouldn't be surprised if they tried to conceal it.

It wouldn't be entirely impossible for his inner circle to simply not do anything he tells them to, but also not tell him that he's not really President.

Under those circumstances, I don't know if Vance would take power, of if it would  be someone like Miller.

How the race is shaping up:

On Facebook I see a lot of comments by Harris supporters concerning republicans who now support Harris over Trump.  They are posting quotes from these people describing their thoughts:

"I am saddened by how they and others continue to repeat claims that lack evidence and disparage the legal migrants living in Springfield."
"I cannot endorse President Trump's continuing assertion that I should have set aside my oath to support and defend the Constitution."

Trump supporters, meanwhile, are posting dozens of images of 18 wheelers covered with flags with a sign that says something along the lines of "Kaamala is Iidiott."  Not sure why they made so many, or why they can't figure out how to get their tools to spell.

[billvon 2,990]

Trump's latest bit of wisdom:

Trump: And then they say, “Oh, when is Nikki coming back in?” And Nikki is in. Nikki is helping us already. But it's just, people, people keep saying, “When do you bring . . . ."  They don't say when you bringing this one. Everybody is in. And Nikki is already in. You know, she's out campaigning and Elon Musk is camp . . . Look, I watched a rocket ship land four days ago.

Steve Doocy: That was stunning!
