I'm watching the whole thing unedited and un-editorialized, at 1.5X speed and I'm not seeing a breakdown. I'm not seeing unhinged.
It is typical Trump. Just basic every day Trump as far as I can tell
Not so much a case of never seeing him behave this way before, as it was a case of the worst timing imaginable to whine and cry for over one hour. People know there is a contest on now, and behaving like a 10 year old seemed more pronounced than at any time before. More than anything his “presser” announced: I am a very weak man! And I’m grateful he went that route. Sooner or later, the unique spell he has cast over our body politic will break, and people will wake up to the fact this emperor has no clothes. When I saw right away that he lacked the discipline not to advertise his fear, I really felt “this is that breaking point”. I might be mistaken, but judging from the response on social media, many others felt the same way: this is the beginning of the end…..He’s not breaking down but he’s certainly unhinged from reality. He calls the Jan 6 losers martyrs, claims no one died on that day, and kept going in circles about how he won in 2020 and how it’s so unfair that he now has to campaign against Kamala. Perhaps you’ve become numb to Trump’s untethered mind from reality? Imagine if Obama or Biden had said anything close to that. Trump is certainly proving how unfit he is.
And I’m sure Nichols felt the same way:
Far better if it had been prime time, and no Olympics. But still a jaw dropping display of inherent weakness.
