Trump: My health and stability will help GOP beat Democrats' conflicting messages this November

Source: The Hill


.................................

"I think we’re going to do much better than anyone thinks because the economy is so good, and people do like the job I’m doing," he continued.

Trump also said his personal health and management style were reasons that Republicans might do better than expected.

"You know, I took that test when I got my last physical, and the doctor said that’s one of the highest scores we’ve ever seen," Trump said. "I did that not because I wanted but I did it, I was always good at testing."

He continued: "But if there’s anything great about me it’s stability, and I’m a good manager. Always been a good manager, but you know, I have a vision," he said, recounting a familiar narrative of his victory over a large Republican presidential primary field in 2016 that featured 17 candidates.

.........................................

"The narrative, the different narratives, they’ve tried all different narratives. They’ve tried that, they tried, ‘he’s a dictator, he’s a fascist,'" he said. "One of them did, one of them did, ‘he’s losing it,’ and the next week they went into, ‘He’s the most brilliant mind. He’s taking over the country.

We've got to vote out the Rs. They know he's insane and simply don't care about the future of the people of this country.

you are not at all religious, you can see the point:

Its most famous appearance is in Psalm 13

How Long, O Lord?



“How long, O LORD? Will you forget me for ever? How long will you hide your face from me? How long must I wrestle with my thoughts and every day have sorrow in my heart? How long will my enemy triumph over me? Look on me and answer, O LORD my God. Give light to my eyes, or I will sleep in death; my enemy will say, ‘I have overcome him,’ and my foes will rejoice when I fall. But I trust in your unfailing love; my heart rejoices in your salvation. I will sing to the LORD, for he has been good to me.”

He declared that at one of the debates. It was a big deal to him. I was shaking my head. WTF was he talking about?
