Whoa. He admitted COVID-19 is lethal. That’s going to be a useful admission.
I was convinced fro the onset this was a strategy. it doesn’t make sense for many logical reasons. lol. his campaign has to go to Pan B. contest the election. His team or “advisors” just ave concluded he cannot debate for whatever reason
“Trump did little more than fling brief snippets of attacks at Biden.”
They misspelled “poop”.
Nearly 45,000 Trumpvirus cases. Near 750 American heroes dead. That is a one 9-11-scale event every week.
I’m sorry, he’s such a weird dude. Many other adjectives are appropriate, but DJT is just so weird and broken and is incapable of behaving like a normal person. Gross, weirdness coming out of his whatever, I don’t even want to talk about it. Sick and sad.
It’s not a strategy, it’s a character trait. He can’t be “wrong” about anything, so when he feels under attack, he just lashes out with nonsense, lies, yelling, anger, etc.
There’s no Machiavelli behind that orange spray.
He never graduated from Penn. I bet he was asked to leave before he got any degree. Where are the transcripts? Oh, and where are the taxes???
Trump:
"Don’t ever use the word smart with me.”
Joe: “Donnie, don’t you worry about that. You are not smart. At all.”
Well, Joe could have said something like that (there are better versions, but this one is clean). I know, can be difficult in the moment. L’esprit de l’escalier and all that.
I am very sorry that I watched.
“Fugue state”
I can always depend on TPM articles or commenters to improve my vocabulary.
Only if the candidate with the cut mic continues to appear on split screen.
Enraged and screaming into the silent void.
The idea of even knowing where you “ranked” upon graduation is, outside of the service academies, just bizarre to me. Your transcript says you graded A B C in classes X Y Z, what sort of weird insular hoity-toity fart-sniffing elite high society traffics in any bullshit beyond that?
But what would I know, my PhD is from a state skool.
This reminded me of when Toadglans showed up with a bandage on his face and claimed he was injured while “playing with Barron.”
As Tommy Flanagan would say, “Yeah. That’s the ticket.”
He entered fugue state from the moment he got on the stage, from all reports.
No fugue, no fugue, you are fugue!
Biden would win that one, too.
Trump dyed his hair just for this debate I see.
It didn’t help, Trumpie.
Probably, Biden does do some physical activity vs Trump just doing arm curls with a big mac.
The clearest “pattern” I saw (patterns in chaos) was that every time Biden started to score a few points TRump would start screaming at him to disrupt his chain of thought. But I don’t actually remember much after Trump ate the live rat and then squatted down on the stage and took a huge liquid crap.
