Donald Trump on Saturday shouted out North Carolina from the stage while speaking at his rally in Pennsylvania, leading some observers to ask if the former president simply forgot where he was. Trump, who earlier in the speech admitted to going "off teleprompter" to insult his former political fo...

    Opens mouth and words fall out, now his brain is gone. Think the glass hit the off switch to an already underdeveloped and over worded organ.

    Trump is too old and senile to be President. This is pathetic, he doesn’t even know where he is. Republicans should be ashamed of themselves for nominating him, at this point it basically constitutes elder abuse.

      They abuse women and the abuse children- are you surprised they’d abuse elders too?

      But fuck them. They made this bed; they should be strapped to it for as long as possible.

    He was OBVIOUSLY JOKING you LIBARDS but when Joe Biden called Kamala Harris the President instead of VICE President that PROVED he had DEMENTIA!

      Yeah, this is something that happens to almost every candidate at one point or another. He has less of an excuse, because he’s not exactly barnstorming across the states, but it’s not even top 100 stupidest things he’s said.

    Oh brother… this is just an attempt to attack his mental state because of what happened to Biden. Everyone and their mother said “Biden is fine…” only to be lying through their teeth…

      Watch the video in the linked article. Ignore the North Carolina thing. He just rambles and makes no sense at all. He looks bad.

      Also everybody and their mother did not say Biden was fine. Many many people were concerned about his age. We all hoped he was okay because the alternative is literally unthinkable.

      So, are the people saying “Trump is fine…” lying through their teeth? Maybe they should swap him for a different candidate, like Biden?

      What you are saying is not true. Plenty of people, even adamant supporters, were concerned about how he sounded, but ultimately said he would do a fine job because he had proven himself to be an effective executive. The only people denying, in whole, that their candidate is perfectly fine are Trump supporters. They can’t do otherwise as it’s a cult, and he’s the cult leader.

      Geriatrics who are suffering from dementia don’t belong in office. We need someone who knows where they are and what year it is.

      The Repubs should run a candidate without dementia. Ideally they would consider choosing someone who is neither a rapist nor insurrectionist but that seems to be impossible since Repubs love voting for criminals.

    He’s barely campaigned in a portion of the states Harris has, after about a year of more time! He’s too old and low-energy to be president…

    Fwiw, he’s looking over and pointing at a group of North Carolinians that he references right before this clip, so he wasn’t actually addressing the Pennsylvania audience. But, this sort of misleading editing and attack are the kind of thing his campaign does all the time, so, tough titty.

      Hmm, your context sounds plausible, but people have been saying he is too old and has dementia to the point that he doesn’t know what state he is in. People have been saying his brain is melting from both age and syphilis, the Adderall abuse isn’t helping either.

      I don’t know whether to agree or disagree with you. First and foremost, I don’t have the facts, so I say the following generically. We do not need misinformation to make him look bad. I am worried all of this is a ploy to BoTh SiDeS!

        Whatever the facts are, I can tell you that if you watch the video clip in the linked article you will hear a rambling man spout out unintelligible, complete and utter nonsense. Even if you give the guy the benefit of the doubt on the North Carolina thing, he still seems lost in his own train of thought

          If you watch the rest of the accompanying clip, he’s also lost in his own grandiose vision of himself - going on about how he spoke for 2 hours and they wanted him to speak more, people are stealing his “wonderful, beautiful phrases”, etc. It’s clinically narcissistic.

          Thank you for taking the bullet, I will not be watching that man in any capacity if I can help it. This furthers my point that we don’t need the misinformation, he’ll take care of it himself

    Trump confused some in the audience with what appeared to be a claim that if Harris could become the candidate without a primary election, then so should he because he is so popular among Republicans.

    “I said, so why are we having an election? They didn’t have an election. Why are we having an election?” he said.

    . . . Wut?

    Edit: from here

    I hate Trump, but this seems like a relevant detail buried all the way down at the bottom of the article.

    One reporter had an alternate take. Julia Manchester of The Hill wrote, “Trump did not confuse Pennsylvania and North Carolina here.”

    “He is addressing a group of supporters from North Carolina who are at his rally in Pennsylvania. Before this clip he says ‘I have another group from North Carolina. We love North Carolina,’” she added.
