The same corporate media that seized on President Joe Biden's one debate performance is finally turning that same critical lens on Donald Trump with only a handful of weeks left before Election Day.
Trump's clear cognitive decline has rapidly increased in the months since his opponent changed from President Biden to Vice President Kamala Harris. Her unmatched momentum and vitality are a stark contrast to Trump's incoherent rambles he's dubbed "The Weave," but the rest of us call "The Weird".
If any other political candidate had said any of the things Trump said in just the last few days alone, their career would be over.
Talking about Arnold Palmer's penis at a rally would be the last time we saw that candidate at a podium asking for votes, and it should be the last time for Trump. If only his sycophants would stop making excuses for his clear decline.
As would taking advantage of a medical emergency in the crowd to stop answering questions and have the weirdest rave ever.
Trump's campaign staff has pulled him from all one-on-one mainstream media interviews, citing "exhaustion" rather than admitting he doesn't want to be fact-checked on camera. However, he isn't too exhausted to still helm a poorly attended rally and make locker room talk about a dead golf legend.
Ironically, Trump used to mock President Biden for being an old candidate who campaigns from his basement, but now Trump is the one hiding from the press. MSNBC's Ayman Mohyeldin led a panel discussion about Trump's decline and its impact on the race.
