Trump abruptly cancels 'virtual roundtable' amid reports of 'exhaustion'
rawstory.com

Yet another event canceled by him and this one was with friendly people

79

He's just too old for this job.

How old is he?

He's older than Bill Clinton, and Bill Clinton ended his second term in office almost a quarter century ago.

He's older than Ruby Bridges, who was the first black student to attend a white school

He's older than the first commercially available microwave oven.

He's even older than the transistor.

If Tim Walz served two terms as vice president, then was elected president and served two terms, at the end of his second term as president he still wouldn’t be as old as Donald Trump is today.

He's been alive longer than Hawaii and Alaska have been US states.

He predates lasers, commercial jet airliners, and the pocket calculator.

He is older than presidential term limits and the CIA.

When he was born, the Philippines were still part of the United States.

He's been alive longer than Hawaii and Alaska have been US states.

I mean...so is my dad...and he's not even to retirement yet.

I wouldn't have a problem with a (healthy, sane, responsible, democracy-minded) president in their 60s.

Hell, given those conditions, while I wouldn't love the idea, I'd be okay with a president in their 80s too.

But my main problem is that Trump ticks exactly zero of those boxes.

He was ~30 years old when women were finally allowed to open their own bank accounts.

Be fair dude did work for thirty whole minutes at a McDonald's/s. Fact the place was closed had no baring on that. Trump is to old. Time to retire him to prison.

The transistor one really got me... The transistor made all computing possible. It's the cornerstone to all modern electronics.

Or, "the cyber", as Trump calls it.

Sure seems like he isn't capable of a job that requires him to work a full day every day. You know, like being President.

He didn't the first time around. "Executive time". Golf. Excessively dumbed down then skipped altogether security briefings.

Yeah, but there was also the 3am rage tweeting from the shitter.

He could find the energy to golf all day on tax payer money

Truthfully? I doubt he could even do that.

I wonder how many hole-in-ones he marked down when he didn’t feel like finding his ball.

I don't blame him - it's amazing how tiring a long shift at McDonald's can be!

And for him, someone who's never worked a day in his life, 15 minutes is an extremely long shift

15 minutes at a closed restaurant. Still harder than he's ever worked before.

With most of the machines off and everything prepared for him, and still probably way more work than his aging body could handle

Especially for somebody older than the Golden Arches logo.

His batteries are nearly depleted.

Maybe he shouldn't have raged so much to wear them out faster. Being calm all the time (from his theory) could've easily extended his life a decade or two. Mean it's probably not a lot of energy at a time but he's always raging at something it must be draining.

I wouldn't be surprised if he was exhausted, this campaign is probably the most work he's done in his life. He's old, he's clearly in decline, and although he's fueled by greed and spite he may be becoming concerned that he's not winning as clearly as he'd like.

I think he is driven by fear of imprisonment

I'm sure he managed to find the energy for the Saudi interview though right?

He's always got energy for investors. I'm sure he just sees Tulsi and RFK as tools that he doesn't need anymore.

Just die already you old cunt.

He will. And I suspect it will be shortly (within the first two years) after he takes office, putting J.D. Stalin in charge. I suspect he has a serious illness, of which both he and his close advisors are aware, and they are keeping silent about it. It would explain Vance's presidential-nominee-style campaigning as well as a few other things about the planned transition...

That should actually make people more scared. A narcissist cannot fully comprehend their own death. Instead, it will make him even more volatile, more violent, and more vicious. If a narcissist is going to die, they truly believe everyone and everything else should too. Ask anyone that has watched a narcissistic parent die.

A narcissist faced with a terminal diagnosis is likely to respond with intense emotional volatility. The sudden loss of control and the threat to their inflated self-image can ignite unpredictable bouts of anger and even violence. Their sense of entitlement and the belief that they deserve special treatment will cause them to lash out anyone that does not meet their demands. This rage, driven by a deep fear of losing control, can manifest in dangerous, hostile outbursts as they struggle to maintain dominance in an increasingly powerless situation.

Simultaneously, their manipulative tendencies may escalate. They weaponize everything. It they're dying, everyone should be dying. The narcissist's desperate need to protect their fragile sense of superiority leads to highly destructive behavior. So, if it's the case that he has received a terminal diagnosis and he wins the presidency, which polls show is increasingly likely... Strap. The. Fuck. In.

I refuse to believe that they could possibly win. And in such a case. I refuse to believe that normal, sane, non-piece-of shit Americans will fail determine the cause of their cheating and correct it.

Short of this is anarchy as far as I'm concerned. There is no legitimate case in which tRump wins.

OK. Well, Silver's polling aggregator currently shows Trump with a 6.5% advantage to win the electoral college over Harris, so, you can deny the possibility all you want. That doesn't make it a less real, and at this point even likely, possibility.

I still need a Weinstein from Trump. Send Trump to jail for his crimes. No bronzer, no rallies, diaper full with no one to change him...whatever, as long as the humiliation is public. Then he can die if he wants.

sweepy twump, he needs a wittle nappy in between shouting that he wants to send the military after americans.

I just feel sorry for him at this point. Not as much as I feel sorry for America, but I do feel sorry for him. When he dies, he will die not having known the best things in life. No true love, no actual friends, no peace. Money has not bought him happiness. Maybe he was born into a prison of his family’s making, but all he’s done is build up the walls and seal the doors. He’s a tragic, pitiful character rather than a beacon of strength or success.

Erm, make sure you put him in an actual prison too, though. Good luck, Yanks, your tea-drinking cousins still want the best for you despite everything 🇬🇧

Remember soon after taking the presidency, he was bitching that the job was much tougher than he expected, now he's 4 years older

The fuck is he talking about? He used all the same golf courses as before. He watched the same TV... oh! He had a harder time flushing the toilets.

It's so great watching them try to roll him into the white house in a wheelchair, and he can't even sit upright in it anymore.

"Strongman" lol.

Vote.

TRUMP
SENILE
KAMALA
LUCID

God damn I've been seeing the signs I think you are referencing here everywhere and have been meaning to get a picture to see if they feel as ickily Orwellian to everyone else as they do me.

Trump

Safety

...

Kamala

Crime

 

Trump

Low Taxes

...

Kamala

High Taxes

 

Those are the two I see the most. The first one especially feels like something out of a dystopian near-future scifi.

There's one more, when I remember it I'll update.

Edit - oh yeah:

 

Trump

Secure Border

...

Kamala

Open Border

Yeah, those are the signs I'm talking about, basically

TRUMP
GOOD
KAMALA
BAD

They're just so fucking stupid, I can't believe Trump supporters aren't embarrassed by them.

He is not tired.

He has nothing to offer beyond entertainment and fascist slogans.

This is an act so he stays in the media.

There's exactly zero chance he's passing up the chance to talk in front of a bunch of people because HE doesn't think he has anything worth saying. That shitbird LOVES to talk, not having anything worth saying has never stopped him before.

He possibly is. I'd be unable to sleep too if I had a few criminal cases lined up. With Walz/Harris, there is a very real chance his life will slip away and he now has criminal court cases where he has no control.

Whilst judge Cannon won't send him to jail, there are lots of judges that will including the tax fraud case

Don't forget that many of his attacks are Hypocrisy.. He even fell asleep during his criminal court hearings. Sleepy Don...

He does that because then his followers think when people point out the hypocrisy they're just being unoriginal (whereas, it's actually the truth).

Don't be surprised if the guy has eaten cat or dog too honestly

Remember when dimbulb donnie's stupid qult was telling everyone Hillary was one step away from being dead....in 2015 and 2016?

Wonder where these people are now?

I remember when Nostradumbass said he’d be running marathons when he was 80

Way way to old and Orange for the job.

I can understand it, though, I would find dealing with those two exhausting

Honestly I'm surprised he can golf anymore as low energy and sleepy as he is. He's certainly not fit to be president as he has 34 felony convictions against him and more on the way.

He's actually stopped golfing recently (for security reasons), so who's to say if he can still golf

I think the best thing he can do at this point is take a nice slow parade route through downtown Dallas in a convertible.

I would also accept developing a newfound interest in the Titanic.
