Benedict Donald's trip back to Capitol Hill today was fraught with danger for him (unless, of course, you read the Associated Press). And he didn't disappoint us, talking about Hannibal Lecter like he was a real person again and making weird statements about Nancy Pelosi. As a result, questions about his cognitive decline — and his supporters' frantic efforts to distract everyone by projecting mental problems onto Joe Biden — are starting to show up in our news feeds.
If journalists are starting to come around on this issue, it's good news — and the timing is just about right. For example, it's two weeks to that Presidential debate that we're sure Trump will be incapable of participating in. We're waiting to see what his excuse will be.
But Trump's biggest own goal today was probably the comment he made about Milwaukee, the host city of next month's Republican National Convention. The RNC obviously chose Milwaukee because it's the largest city in a crucial battleground state. And Team Trump instantly panicked, coming out with about five different explanations for the insult, none of which passed the smell test. (Donald's also scheduled to visit Racine soon. Wonder how that will go?)
Meanwhile, Democrats are having a field day, on social media and elsewhere. In fact, MadDogPAC has already created a billboard (above) that will go up near the Milwaukee airport tomorrow. Great work! — but expensive. If you'd like to chip in, click here. We cats PURR.
