The fraud is telling a Montana audience that Putin is "fine." Now saying he is Elton John

He is “better” than Elton John because he has broken so many records (seriously wtf is even happening)?

He just claimed that people were “coming out with terminal illnesses that could have been corrected easily” (from the VA that is as you know he has fixed all of that /s) and bizarrely and constantly singling out JohnMcCain. And Putin is “fine” despite US claims that Putin was kgb etc — Trump thinks he is “fine” and that he needs no prep for their meeting.

He is bizarrely repeating entire sections of his usual “speech” He seems to not be aware that he is repeating sections and making transparently absurd claims — such as the “space force,” which he claims he has ordered the Pentagon to create

When do these people see this fraud for the lying spectacle he is?! A self-obsessed insecure shell criticizing every single one of our allies, individual American citizens, duly elected politicians with racist language, and every crucial . Seriously when or ever do these people realize that every line this person says is NOT TRUE?! Blatant, stupidly, obviously statements as in (I am paraphrasing but this is accurate) “so many car companies have moved back that we need people! Can’t even hire enough people!”

He just said Apple is spending 350 billion dollars in the country opening new plants and that it is the highest number that has ever been done. Perhaps I am incorrect but I think this statements is not true. Trump claimed 350 billion...then said 230 billion...in the same jagged little “paragraph”

I can’t understand how they *believe* in a fraud that sputters out ridiculous statements that are obviously — clearly — untrue — the Apple claim? So many car companies have “come back” that they can’t hire enough people? These people KNOW THIS IS NOT THE CASE.

He just claimed that Maxine Waters has an IQ of 60. Now he’s spewing racist statements about Elizabeth Warren. Trump is talking about DNA TESTS — ffs — saying “does it show you’re an INDIAN?” An “Indian.” Blatant propaganda. Saying “ICE is “taking them out by the thousands.” (As usual all immigrants are bad etc). And of course the NFL...again. Transparent racism designed to distract from the absolute fraud (and of course the criminal).

I know he has the hard-core types that follow him no matter what — but seriously?

I swear I heard the crowd chanting “you asshole” instead of “USA.” I really think there is a large group there chanting this — surreal. He also is slurring his words and breathing weirdly again —loudly and through his teeth.

He also implied —heavily — that the doctor that labeled him him “healthy” was “rewarded” with an offer to lead the VA from Trump.

Last thing I can take — he is claiming that he is now being “studied” by academics because of his amazing achievements.

imagining things at this point but the audience seemed much smaller and not so enthusiastic).

Trump always gives a “greatest hits” speech. When will they realize they already bought the “greatest hits” record/cd/iTunes compilation two years ago yet they being *played* again and again? When — ever? — does a statement like “Apple is spending 350 billions dollars” in the US seem absurd to them — and offensive because it is not political fudging but boldly, outrightly saying SHIT THAT IS NOT TRUE instead of something to applaud while pretending it is true?!

I understand that there are some very hardcore cult types but I just can’t believe that his numbers (in the 40 range they claim) are accurate. Smh.

The answer is... never. As I was just explaining to someone the answer is never because it isn't about HIM, it is about THEM. About the dumbest people in the nation believing their are smarter than all us stuck up librulls. And they are going to show us and prove us all wrong. The crippling need among them to be RIGHT. That is why they will NEVER break from drumpf.

And you know what? It doesn't matter. The "silent majority" as they call themselves are nothing but a loud mouthed minority. WE outnumber them, so long as we GOTV.

They think it's the "adult in charge," so they follow the object as it moves. And after that, it's beachballs forever, beachballs do or die.

Same principle with Trumpists, they follow him blindly, even though he will do NOTHING for them in reality. Plus, he is a world-class bully and lives for revenge-- traits that are admired and shared by every right-winger.
