I’m not a fan of aesthetics criticism, so I’ll simply say that ttump’s appearance yesterday (skin tone, confusing Iraq with Iran, confusing North Korea with Iran, minimizing TBIs of service members) would be the “we have to start making a safety plan for grandpa” moment - if I gave a damn about grandpa. He’s rapidly becoming Fred, and I have zero doubt he will be 25th’d within two years, if elected.I know he’s looked like this for a long time, but every time I see a photo like this, I’m amazed again how many people think this guy is the answer.

I'd like to see more emphasis on this.
Trump talks a big game about being tough with adversaries, but really he's chicken shit scared of 60 Minutes. Adversaries eat him for lunch.

That tweet massively understates Trump’s cuckness.
Donald Trump said Tuesday he’s asked CBS News for an apology over an interview he did in 2020 with CBS’ Lesley Stahl, and the former president suggested he would need that before agreeing to another “60 Minutes” interview.
CBS News said earlier on Tuesday that Trump had backed out of a “60 Minutes” interview with veteran CBS anchor and correspondent Scott Pelley.
“Well, right now I went to, they came to me and would like me to do an interview, but first I want to get an apology, because the last time I did an interview with them, if you remember, they challenged me on the computer,” Trump said as he spoke to reporters in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.
Trump sat down with Stahl in October 2020 and abruptly ended the interview when he apparently objected to Stahl’s questions.
“If you remember Lesley Stahl, we got into a little bit of an argument on the camera, talking about that and other things. And you know, they really owed me an apology,” Trump said.
“I never got an apology. So, I’m sort of waiting. I’d love to do ’60 Minutes’, I do everything,” Trump said.
The former president added, “I’d like to get an apology, so I’ve asked them for an apology, let’s see if they do it.”

I'm not sure I am super-comfortable with "cuckness" or "cuck" becoming a word of choice among progressives. I totally understand its use, but it reminds me of the conversation going on with Dd on the other thread. Sometimes irony and mockery ends up as tacit endorsement.
But anyway, the apology thing is unreal. Again, push on that. Is this how he conducts foreign affairs? He just refuses to act until someone strokes his ego with an apology? Americans want to see him and he's stiffing us all because he wants CBS to apologize to him?
It is also a reminder of Trump's grudge-holding. The one on full display when standing next to Zelensky bragging about his great relationship with Russia. Then Zelensky said, "but you have a better relationship with Ukraine, yes?" and Trump said, "it takes two to tango." He was obviously referring to Zelensky's refusal to give him the dirt on Biden that he wanted. And this is the man who will make decisions for the country?

I was like “Trump turning down free TV time?..that’s a weird choice” until I read a little further down and realized it’s because he got his feelings hurt by 60 minutes in the past. Then it made total sense.

His stories where he tries to recount or envision personal interactions leave me with the distinct impression that he's had almost no real personal interactions in his entire life that weren't forced by either his wealth or positions of power.

I just don't believe that. I do however believe that during that private meeting Vlad "the Ras" Putin showed St. Donald of Mar-a-Lago a highlight reel of the video the KGB/FSB had collected on him over the previous 30 years.

Washington Post interviewed fans leaving a Trump Rally early ...

"... Most stay. But Trump often runs late and goes long, prompting many to bow out because of other responsibilities, priorities or, sometimes, waning patience and interest, according to Washington Post interviews and observations across dozens of events. Some said they wanted to beat traffic or had work the next day. Others complained about sound quality. One man wanted to go home to his French bulldog. Another needed to get home to his daughter. A third had a Yorkie with him that started acting out. A fourth man said his phone died.
... Trump repeatedly has resisted entreaties from advisers and allies to cut down on his speeches. “They want a show. They want two hours,” Trump said this year to an ally who suggested shorter speeches. Like others, the ally spoke on the condition of anonymity to describe a private conversation.
...The former president has told advisers that after people stand for so long and wait for so long, he needs to give them something more than a “boring policy speech,” one person who has spoken to him said. The speechwriters craft remarks that are usually designed to go for 60 to 90 minutes, a campaign adviser said, but they know Trump will veer repeatedly off the script. ..."

Marjorie Taylor Greene Says ‘They Can Control The Weather,
Marjorie Taylor Greene Says ‘They Can Control The Weather,’ Promoting Conspiracy About Hurricane Helene
Right-wingers have long promoted wild theories about weather control, and Greene, a Donald Trump ally, gave them a big boost.
“Yes, they can control the weather,” Greene wrote on X, formerly known as Twitter, Thursday evening. “It’s ridiculous for anyone to lie and say it can’t be done.”
“This is a map of hurricane affected areas with an overlay of electoral map by political party shows how hurricane devastation could affect the election,” Greene wrote Thursday morning, seeming to accuse Democrats of manufacturing a storm to kill hundreds of their fellow Americans, and render thousands more homeless, as part of a scheme to make Republican voters unable to participate in next month’s elections.
The map Greene posted appears to have been created by Matt Wallace, a dodgy crypto influencer and conspiracy theorist with over 2 million followers on X. “This took me a long time to make!” Wallace wrote on Sept. 30, posting an image of the map. “I created map showing the path of destruction of Hurricane Helene with an overlay of the 2020 election results... The storm seemed to almost methodically miss the bluest parts of those crucial swing states, while simultaneously ravaging the red parts. What a crazy coincidence!”
