Dude is cooked. Whole thing was clearly done in an act of desperation and Trump being Trump just made himself look even weaker - whole of Twitter, even people on his side, are just laughing at him and saying that was the death knell of his campaign. I think the assassination attempt has shook him a lot more than he’s let on (and rightfully so, tbf)  and he’s just totally off his game. It would be sad to see somebody going out like this if he wasn’t such a piece of sh*t. 

They seem to have been totally thrown by Biden quitting.. surely they should have realised that was a real possibility and have a plan for it. 

You could be right about the shootng though, he hasn't had a chance to process that. Would shake anyone up, even a superman like Trump.

Looking forward to seeing some clips .. haven’t watched but seen a few bits on Twitter saying how bad it is

Yeah the assassination attempt and a week later Biden dropping out just shook him to his core and he’s been spiralling since, especially with Kamala coming out swinging and then some. He’s basically begging for Biden to re-enter the race after five years of saying he’s unfit to lead. 
 

Has agreed to the originally planned debate on September 10 now so looking forward to that.

RFK seems to be getting around 6% in the polls (for some reason) and that’s definitely skewing more towards people who would otherwise vote for Trump so would be hilarious if he’s what ends up costing Trump the election.

Seems unlikely, as generally rfk has dropped to average 4.1% in the polls. 

 

Gap increasing between Harris and Trump every day or two though (now 2.4%)

Trump still fantasising about Biden storming in to the DNC and demanding he be allowed to run for his second term

Tbf RFK was actually polling higher earlier on this year. Seems to be the way that third party candidates will look stronger but shed support the closer we get to the election itself.

 

Whether Joe Rogan choosing to endorse him will move the dial is another matter.

This kind of equivalency is so wrong. The Democratic Party today has shown no overt signs that they want wars in the middle east, while they may not be able to prevent such conflicts from arising, and we can certainly question their judgement and loyalties with regard to Israel and Palestine.

 

Trump on the other hand has already laid the groundwork for withdrawing from NATO and said on record that he would encourage Putin to invade NATO countries. That's what leads to WW3.

not sure trump will want a war, his initial political pitch was about avoiding getting bogged down in foreign stuff, so he'll lose a heap of support if he revs up for war.

You don't need to actively want a war to make one more likely.

Lost the plot

He’s also announced two more debates (one on Fox, of course) that he’s completely made up and which are obviously a ploy to back out of the agreed upon debate after claiming Kamala backed out of his fantasy debate first. 
 

His mental state is gonna go to absolute tatters over the next couple one months. The reality of him losing again is truly setting in and he is not taking it well. Really do wonder what he’s got up his sleeve in the interim between the election and the swearing in in January.

It'll be f*cking insane, whatever it is. At least this time the powers that be know the playbook and can ready a response. It could all make the UK's recent unrest look like a soft play session tho' (although I'm conscious I sound like Musk and his "civil war" commentary there, albeit without having any influence on anyone's thinking, including my own).

Seems that #TrumpIsDone is trending, because he couldn't fill an 8500 stadium and Harris and Walz not only packed a 20000 one, but for good measure got a glowing endorsement from Mayor John Giles of Mesa, Arizona. He is a lifelong Republican.

As someone who spent much of his adult life working with images/photos I have been involved in AI too recently and have done lots of tests to see how convincing it is now - some is pretty good and will fool lots of people but most is still easy to spot.

Here are two images, one is very real and one is AI.

I wonder if tRump would be able to tell which is which?

If he does not get a jail sentence next month and is still running by election day (not a certainty at this point), and then loses, I think he would skip the country long before the Harris inauguration. Without the presidency he is in such legal peril that  retirement in Russia or the Middle East must be pretty attractive.

Trump and Elon live interview tonight on Twitter. Bound to be an absolute shitshow. Two absolute dipshits who actually hate each other glazing each other for an hour or so, and all the while the live feed inevitably crashing constantly due to the traffic.
