The CNN town hall revealed Trump as a "political mirage"

https://signalpress.blogspot.com/2023/05/town-hall-reveals-trump-as-political.html

Taegan Goddard's Political Wire said that Biden's team was "positively giddy" after Trump's appearance at a town hall on CNN. They had good reason to be. According to Goddard's post, one of Biden's team members said, "It was quite efficient. Weeks worth of damning content in one hour."

And that just about sums it up. I thought Trump did an excellent job, if the man is capable of doing anything excellent, letting voters know exactly why he is the single most incompetent, unqualified, unfit individual in the entire nation, including all of the other 300 million plus of us, to serve as President. He is a loser. And during that town hall, he opened up his mouth and let everyone know that he is.

It was grueling to watch. Aside from the way his mouth moves when he speaks, his voice, his eyes which, even on camera give away the fact that he is a pathological and calculated liar, his accent and his extremely limited vocabulary, the only adjective of which he seems to be capable being "disgrace," it is just virtually impossible to take the man seriously. I watched because I needed to assure myself that he can't win based on what comes out of his mouth. I know in my head that he is out of touch with the majority of the American people, just looking at the appearance of most of his supporters tells me that. But this was an unprecedented performance, worthy of a third rate cable news network, and it was assuring in the ridiculousness of the thought that this man could ever be elected to office again. He is a mirage, a fake, a television personality with no substance, a living creature devoid of a conscience, any resemblance of a moral foundation, a shell of a human being angry at a world he can't control.

3. My condolences

For listening and summarizing.

At this point, since I haven’t voluntarily heard him in many months, the chronological compilation of droning whine and fluorescent orange glow derived from his transcripts has blended in my mind like a distant smear on a radio telescope…

The data is still streaming but the rest of the population has moved on. Everything else is just the earth’s rotation exposing it periodically while the zombie hordes coalesce to its trombonic rhythm

5. Why don't "his" people notice?

What will it take for them to be aware of his HUGE dysfunctionality?

11. I agree w/ your adjectives of tRUMP...I'd like to add mine, that he's a moron. One of his former

cabinet members called him this, and it's stuck in my mind over the years (Rex something)...

12. Can't win???

Has nothing been learned? Of course he can win. He barely lost in 2020. It should’ve been a Biden landslide


Thinking for a second that this country is too good, too smart, too anything to elect Trump again ignores the past seven years and is delusional. I wish it wasn’t


Please… never think or say that Trump can’t win

13. I honestly don't think he can. He's lost most independents and moderates, and some Republicans.

They know this, which is why they're trying to get their conspiracy believing idiots in as election judges. But even at that, there are too many eyes on the process.

But, I also think if he gets to election day without being indicted or brought to trial, that's a failure of the current administration's DOJ. And that's a problem. If he gets that far without being indicted or put on trial, then being a nation of laws is a joke. And I think a lot of people will be discouraged by that and think "what's the difference" and not bother with it. Those are voters we cannot afford to lose,

14. Watching that performance

I was suddenly reminded of a short story by Gerald Kersh, giving me an insight into TFG. The title alone says a lot: "Busto Is a Ghost, Too Mean To Give Us A Fright". To paraphrase: "There are people one hates, until that moment when, through a chink in their armor, one glimpses something writhing in torment."
I have little sympathy for him, but this squirming mass of psychoses should never be allowed to roam at large in public again.
