Search Results: does she like talking to me

I saw him at the RNC convention in his first speech after the incident. He wouldn't kiss his wife, and when he was talking he was so sad and low energy. A couple weeks later he seemed to be back to his old provocative self, but then he got angry over Biden dropping out of the race, because he said he wasn't prepared to debate Kamala, and it seemed like he was scared of her. I didn't watch the debate, but I heard that he got smoked and he held back and didn't capitalize on opportunities. Now Kamala who said she will only do one debate, is asking for another debate and Trump, who's usually the one pushing for this sort of things, says he does not want another debate. He also hasn't been saying as many controversial things as he had in the past.

Saturday, Trump held a rally in Mosinee, WI, a small city in the center of the state, where he addressed about 7,000 people. A number of us who have been watching him closely have been saying for a while that when voters actually saw him in this campaign, they would be shocked at how he has deteriorated, and that seems to be true: his meandering and self-indulgent speeches have had attendees leaving early, some of them bewildered. In the speech, Trump slurred a number of words, referring to Elon Musk as “Leon,” for example, and forgetting the name of North Dakota governor Doug Burgum, who was on his short list for a vice presidential pick.

But the speech struck me as different from his past performances, distinguished for what sounded like desperation. Trump has always invented his stories from whole cloth, but there used to be some way to tie them to reality. That seemed to be gone. He was in a fantasy world, and his rhetoric was apocalyptic. It was also bloody in ways that raise huge red flags for scholars of fascism.

Trump told the audience that when he took office in 2017, military officers told him the U. S. had given all the military’s ammunition away to allies. Then he went on a rant against our allies, saying that they’re only our allies when they need something and that they would never come to our aid if we needed them. This echoes the talking points put out by Russian operatives and flies in the face of the fact that the one time the North Atlantic Treaty Organization invoked the mutual defense pact in that agreement was after the attacks of September 11, 2001, in support of the U. S.

He embraced Project 2025’s promise to eliminate the Department of Education and send education back to the states so that right-wing figures like Wisconsin’s Senator Ron Johnson can run it. He reiterated the MAGA claim that mothers are executing their babies after birth—this is completely bonkers—and again echoed Russian talking points.
