Re: Trump’s Troubles
 
I actually think the world is less secure by Trump’s opponents developing a caricature of him then competing against the caricature, rather than the man.

It might win some kind of online meme battle, and get some laughs among people who won’t vote for him anyway, but it won’t win elections.

It'd be rude not to question it, especially the amount of times donny gets people's names wrong or confuses them with someone else, hilariously when challenging sleepy joe to a cognitive test and confusing Ronnie jackson with Ronnie Johnson, calling Nikki Hayley Nancy Pelosi (apparently he meant that one), calling Sleepy joe Obama, getting his own vp running mate name wrong and somewhat oddly warning us of the dangers of starting WW2, whilst not forgetting his friend the late great Hannibal Lecter (also done on purpose apparently) or his wistful ramble down dementia ally trying to decide on electrocution or being eaten by a shark but it's okay the man with have us believe I'm just there cognitively , okay donnie time for your nap.

It makes no sense to anyone else, this is where Harris might shock people too, she's a very uninspiring speech orator but she is an excellent debater and she'll nail donnie on his lack of detail or lies like sir beer does here. I think she could do worse than have another woman as vp as well, maybe a white woman? donnie and vance are misogynists vance even more so than donnie given his views on women staying in violent abusive marriages so could two women work well against that, the moment one of them slips up and says something controversial against the women could cost them dear and who'd bet against that happening.

Dunno, they seemed restless, looking at watches and fidgeting in the last one as he rambled on for ages after time, I don't think this divine intervention assassination rhetoric will play well either or at least it shouldn't as in saving donny someone else innocent died but considering that chaps wife wouldn't take a call from Biden but is still waiting for donnies what do I know.

Bad day for the Donald. Someone under 60 and vaguely compos mentis, that's a real challenge.

It's going to be interesting to see how it goes. I think it's about 43%-45% Harris v 55%-57% Trump. Of course, Harris has not started campaigning and I don't believe is confirmed yet, but all the money piling in should ensure she is the Democratic candidate.

The word “vaguely”. Working overtime in that sentence.

Less vaguely than Trump, who needs someone to interpret his speeches into English for him. :D

It's 50/50 whether Donny will be in a good enough state come November, let alone 4 years. He's in no better health than Biden, look at some of his recent rants/speeches... The Dems might win this by acting first to face up to reality.

Trump is clearly in better health than President Biden.

Trump is clearly suffering dementia and is declining noticeably. It no longer matters how healthy he is compared to Joe (though you’d be forgiven for thinking so, if you read what Trump and his lickspittles have been spewing out over the past 48 hours - it’s almost as if they don’t quite believe he’s going).

All the questions the Trumpers have been demanding of Biden have always applied to Trump too. It’s just that previously they could reasonably be directed at the man who looks much more physically frail. Now, though, they apply uniquely to Trump, and Trump can’t hide behind the thin excuse of being younger and fitter than the other guy. He might (just) be able to string a sentence together now, but what about late 2025? What about 2028, when he’ll be turning 82 (assuming he lives that long)?

From now on, please discuss Trump and Harris and anything they say/do that is connected with the 2024 election in this new thread here:

https://www.cableforum.uk/board/show...5#post36179565

Please use this thread only for ongoing discussion of Trump’s Troubles, basically the many prosecutions he is facing.

Maybe Musk can be encouraged to buy it?

Shares in Trump’s social media company hit lowest level since going public

Shares in Donald Trump’s social media company hit their lowest level on Monday since the lossmaking group went public almost five months ago.

Trump Media & Technology shares fell as low as $22.26 in early trade, dipping below their previous April nadir of $22.55 and marking a 72 per cent slide from their late March peak just after the company went public...

This month, the company, which includes Trump’s Truth Social platform, reported revenues of $837,000 in the three months to June, down 30 per cent from the same period last year while net losses shrank to $16.4mn from $22.8mn.

No need for it now. Should find a way to ditch it.

I don’t think he can - Trump owes a lot of people a lot of money, including lawyers who he still badly needs. He’s famous for not paying his bills and if they start thinking he might not be able to pony up they might stop turning up at court. Truth Social’s paper value is keeping his net worth respectable, on paper at least. I doubt he can afford to cash in at the current price.

That's why he needs to twist Musk's arm. Otherwise it will continue burning through cash until the cash runs out or someone decides to proactively end the business in its current form.
