Mad Man


By Zamboni

The strange incidents with Donald Trump and his ever-more-shaky campaign keep piling up. At a rally yesterday in Detroit, he was giving a speech when his microphone cut out. Which left him pacing the stage silently for almost 20 minutes before it was fixed.

Correction: It didn't "leave him" doing that. He chose to pace. As Tim Walz would say, how weird.

Walz and Vice President Harris would have headed down to the crowd and worked the rope line for a while. Hillary Clinton, Bill Clinton and Barack Obama would have done some quick Q&A with the front row. And can you picture Michelle Obama tossing out free swag to folks?

Long story short, our nominees and surrogates wouldn't waste a moment to get up close and personal with voters during an A-V snafu. But Trump has never been one to mix and mingle much. He's supposedly a germophobe, but he's also painfully awkward — especially these days. Small talk? Forget it. His cognitive decline is so evident that even the corporate media have no choice but to cover it now.

Or, here's an additional explanation. A tweep we follow said that Kamala Harris has quite literally driven Donald Trump insane. "Do you all not see this?" Seems plausible. We cats PURR.
