Trumps Political Downfall; The Fat Elvis Phase Begins

[Crepitus]

Trump is getting worse and he can't help it

Cornell expert says Trump’s frequent phonemic paraphasia ‘are signs of early dementia’ | Cornell Chronicle

As the 2024 U.S. presidential campaigns heat up, both camps are watching closely for gaffes from the two presidential frontrunners, in an effort to discredit the other over age and psychological capacity, but complaints about Joe Biden have been more vague and there is no evidence of dementia...

Those toe props are a sign of the balance issues that often accompany later stage dementia.

A lot of women still would have thrown themselves at Fat Elvis.

Is fat shaming supposed to get me to change my mind?

Fat Elvis? What will they think of next? The same people who lied to us about Biden's health for the last three years have invented a laughable way to attack Trump. At least they aren't shooting at him.

 

[C_Clayton_Jones]

Trump won in 2016 for one reason, and one reason alone.

Celebrity.

That along with fear, ignorance, hate, racism, bigotry, and misogyny – white grievance politics and racist replacement theory; the lie and baseless fear that America was being ‘taken away’ from ‘real Americans.’

The above remains powerful motivation for far too many voters – reflecting their fear, ignorance, and hate.

Being 80 and fat matters now. It’s not working on you but you know it works on others cause you did it to Biden. Now trumps the only one who’s too old

Americans are baffled about what’s happened to Donald Trump.

He used to seem so formidable, a very real threat to American democracy, the pal of dictators around the world. Now even Putin is dissing him, cutting the very prisoner deal with President Biden that Trump said a few weeks ago the Russian dictator would only do with him.

He’s gone, in the minds of many Americans, from being a danger to being merely weird. What happened?

The simple reality is that Trump has entered the Fat Elvis phase of his career.

He hasn’t grown or developed new routines; he’s just reliving his old hits every day, playing to a nostalgic and mostly elderly audience who fondly remember his glory days.

His pathetic attempt to question the racial identity of Vice President Harris was just a warmed-over version of his Obama Birther slanders; they played well back in the first decade of this century, but now they’re just old and flat.

His claim that Hispanic immigrants and asylum seekers are “taking Black jobs” is just a makeover of his 2015 coming-down-the-escalator pitch. It was new and novel then and caught the love and attention of racists all across America; now it’s just a tired retread.

His forcing Republicans in the House to vote down the border bill that Oklahoma Republican Senator James Lankford principally wrote just adds to the perception that he’s a rank hypocrite with little interest in actually solving America’s problems.

His newest fundraising grifts — “gold” tennis shoes, bloody-ear bobble head dolls, raising the Mar-a-Lago entrance fee for spies and hangers-on to $1,000,000 — are every bit as pathetic and sloppy as his old pitches for Trump steaks, Trump water, and his failed Trump “First Class” Airline.

His entire career in the media has been characterized by rich-frat-boy flamboyance and testosterone-driven excess, from publicly cheating on each of his three wives to bragging about leering in the dressing rooms of teen beauty pageants to his faux “successful businessman” routine on NBC. Today, though, nobody is shocked, amazed, or impressed; more Americans pity him than are in awe of his proclaimed masculinity.

Trump's Political Downfall: The "Fat Elvis" Phase Begins?

Hey, I know. Lets bark about Kamala Harris' race. That will surely revamp the campaign.

Like many washed up entertainers he relies on his golden oldies. It works for trump because the bigotry he appeals to among his base is marrow deep.

What else explains why he would think his race based attack on Harris would work?

 

[sealybobo]

I dunno. We'll see how the polls move. But after what I've seen since 2016, we don't know what people are going to do when they're in that voting booth alone. That's where any grievances and biases come out, more than anywhere else.

I can’t wait for you to realize how bad abortion is going to fuck you. This is the first general election since the Supreme Court did what it did. You guys paid last year in Ohio, Kentucky and Virginia elections, 2022 midterms.

You think women in swing states have gotten over it?

It's not working.

There are many weird MAGA lemmings that will throw themselves at Trump no matter what he does.
I predict if fat Elvis were alive today and ran against fat Don, Elvis would kick his ass.

But the people will elect her President with their votes.

Meh.
The others just haven't been caught yet.

Imagine Kamala Harris in a string bikini...yeah try to unsee that.

And as the country declines more and more people will not forget the people who does the ph ukn. As people get poorer, they get more ornery. And shit happens. What it is I do not know. Many endings. Most not good.

 

[Dragonlady]

It's going to be a challenge for him. This time Democrats have a weapon they've never had before.

The Taylor Swift, and the Beyonce vote.

Will it be enough? We will have to see. If it is, that will change every pollsters metric, on rating every election going forward.

Trump won in 2016 for one reason, and one reason alone.

Celebrity.

We live in a braindead, celebrity oriented society. Which isn't good for the country, no matter which side you're on.

Trump didn’t win just on “celebrity”. Trump won because the Republican party was prepared to put the official stamp of approval on his candidacy, in spite of his history of bankruptcy, fraud and fiscal malfeasance.

Fox News and the rest of the right wing media cheerfully embraced every lie about his wealth and his business acumen and parroted the lies to their loyal fans and followers.

All of his adult life, Donald Trump has bragged about bribing, politicians, and screwing people over. It’s not like any of it was a secret, or the Republicans and right wing people knew nothing about his past.

To find his most egregious statements about women, one only needed to listen to his creepy interviews with Howard Stern, or know if his close friendship with Jeffrey Epstein.

Trump has been a ConMan and grifter all of his life and all of that was publicly known before the Republican Party agreed to allow him to run on their platform using their organization.
