He's too old. He should drop out. I'm hearing more and more people say that recently.

Right now trump is almost 20 years older than Kamala Harris. We have never elected someone as old as trump to the office of the presidency. The man can't drink a glass of water.

Can he walk down a ramp unaided? Can he hear out of his right ear? Can we really entrust the government to someone that decrepit?

[-] lemmyng@lemmy.ca 185 points 4 months ago

Don't you think he looks tired?

[-] TechAnon@lemm.ee 84 points 4 months ago

He's so old he requires a bandage the size of his ear for a 2 centimeter cut.

[-] CharlesDarwin@lemmy.world 42 points 4 months ago

How long is he going to wear that maxi pad anyway?

[-] irreticent@lemmy.world 13 points 4 months ago

Until the election, obviously.

[-] Myxomatosis@lemmy.world 17 points 4 months ago

~~bandage~~ Maxi pad

[-] _sideffect@lemmy.world 25 points 4 months ago

Ha, awesome doctor who reference

[-] fluxion@lemmy.world 8 points 4 months ago

Keeps repeating himself over and over, and going off on some sort of delusion that he's been the actual president for the last four years

I saw parts of his RNC “speech” and he could barely string a coherent sentence together. Really low energy and kept falling asleep. He needs to drop out.

[-] acockworkorange@mander.xyz 23 points 4 months ago

Well, in that case he’s as coherent as 10 years ago.

[-] CharlesDarwin@lemmy.world 22 points 4 months ago

Even by donnie's standards, he's getting incoherent. And that's really saying something.

[-] acockworkorange@mander.xyz 11 points 4 months ago

I know, it was just a low hanging fruit.

Everyone is saying it. Why, just the other day, a man ran up to me, tears in his eyes, and he said, "Sir! Sir! Why won't donnie drop out of the race? He's far too old and senile!"

[-] KevonLooney@lemm.ee 35 points 4 months ago

It's true, more people are saying it every day. "Dozing Donald" they call him. So many people are calling him that, but he can't even hear them. It's sad.

[-] Maggoty@lemmy.world 36 points 4 months ago

Didn't Trump fall asleep during his trial and the convention?

We want a president who can stay awake.

Trump told CNN he believes Vice President Kamala Harris will be easier to beat.

I want to see a debate between a felon and a former prosecutor. If she keeps referring to him as such, he'll lose his shit. His derangement will know no bounds.

[-] ShittyBeatlesFCPres@lemmy.world 61 points 4 months ago

I kind of doubt Trump debates Harris. He’s obviously senile and he can just say, “She didn’t win a single primary. I don’t have to debate her.” He’ll probably pull the same shenanigans as in 2020 and get CNN or whoever to have a “town hall” Q&A where everyone in attendance is a Trump supporter.

[-] Myxomatosis@lemmy.world 52 points 4 months ago

And then she needs to call him out constantly for being a weak ass bitch. Provoke him until he loses his shit.

[-] barsquid@lemmy.world 40 points 4 months ago

I would be okay with seeing Harris needle the misogynist and racist Donald until the bigoted rage overflows.

[-] Myxomatosis@lemmy.world 21 points 4 months ago

I bet that he will drop the N-word at some point.

[-] barsquid@lemmy.world 16 points 4 months ago

Would that finally clue in so-called "moderate" Repubs that he is a blatant racist? No, somehow they'll claim she was acting up and deserved it. (Actually they are racists and approve of using the word.)

I hope for a debate before September but at least we will(should) have one before the election.

[-] CharlesDarwin@lemmy.world 21 points 4 months ago

I'd love if everyone, bothsiderist "liberal media" included, would start referring to donnie as a felon, all the time, and with every mention. Including in headlines. For example this one: "After Biden drops out, convicted felon Trump lashes out"

I like it.

I can't believe the Republicans are running such an old candidate. I mean, what if he dies in office? what about his mental state? I just don't know if this is good for the country.

he should probably drop out.

[-] Rapidcreek@lemmy.world 135 points 4 months ago

Time for the press to hold Trump to the same standard as they have Biden.

[-] finley@lemm.ee 50 points 4 months ago

lol

[-] Myxomatosis@lemmy.world 101 points 4 months ago

Hahahahaha. It’s dawning on the MAGA turds that this won’t be an easy win for them now.

[-] jeffw@lemmy.world 45 points 4 months ago

Trump said he’s happy Biden dropped out because Kamala will be easier to beat lol. He acts like a child

[-] Myxomatosis@lemmy.world 60 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

He’s lying so that means it’s the opposite and he’s shitting his diapers.

[-] quicklime@lemm.ee 12 points 4 months ago

Exactly. He and others in his party have been telling journalists for quite a while that they preferred a matchup against Biden. Naturally he flip-flops on that the moment the situation changes.

[-] TrickDacy@lemmy.world 11 points 4 months ago

Assuming his senile ass remembered to wear them

[-] Captainvaqina@sh.itjust.works 13 points 4 months ago

I'm loving it so hard right now.

[-] YeetPics@mander.xyz 60 points 4 months ago

MANY people are saying trump should drop out based solely on age.

Dude has been wearing diapers for at least 12 years.

[-] NineMileTower@lemmy.world 38 points 4 months ago

“Sun Rises, Trump Lashes Out”

[-] CharlesDarwin@lemmy.world 21 points 4 months ago

Old convicted felon yells at cloud

[-] DaddleDew@lemmy.world 36 points 4 months ago

He's terrified that they're going to pick someone who won't let him get away with bullshitting his way through the debates.

[-] jeffw@lemmy.world 10 points 4 months ago

It’ll almost certainly be Kamala

[-] some_guy@lemmy.sdf.org 23 points 4 months ago

I've got a new winning slogan for the Trump team: "She's brown."

[-] knobbysideup@sh.itjust.works 22 points 4 months ago

I'm sure trump wishes he could drop out, but his only possibility to dodge consequences for his crimes is to be president again. He also loves his demented pep rallies.
