One of the truisms of Trump World is that being viewed as boring is a sin more deadly than being wrong.
On the campaign trail, former President Donald J. Trump often takes that to mean he must go off-script and veer off message. His critics say such detours are a troubling sign of his incoherence and raise questions about his age and cognitive health. Many of his supporters and allies see his circular way of speaking, which he calls “the weave,” as entertaining and not alarming. The partisan debate over the implications of Mr. Trump’s meandering speech has only intensified in the final stage of the race.
Here are four examples of Mr. Trump’s rambling from just this past week.
Schoolchildren asked him about boyhood heroes. He ended up at the border wall.
It was a softball question, from a 10-year-old. Mr. Trump’s response was more of a knuckleball.
A group of children asked Mr. Trump questions on Friday on “Fox & Friends.” Asked to name his favorite president when he was a child, Mr. Trump at first cited one who was elected when he was 34 (Ronald Reagan). Then he ventured onto surprising terrain, including every child’s favorite subject, the revised NAFTA trade deal known as the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement.
DANIEL: President Trump, I’m Daniel. And I’m 10. And I’m from Tennessee. What was your favorite president when you were little?
DONALD TRUMP: So I liked Ronald Reagan. I thought he was, um, look — I did not love his trade policy. I’m a very good trade — I have made some great trade deals for us — the U.S.M.C.A. That wasn’t his strength, but he had a great dignity about him, Ronald Reagan. You could say, “There’s our president,” more than any of the others. Really, any...

I think the NY Times might be hitting Trump this hard because they fear NY and/or NJ might even be in play.
The Times blatantly campaigning for that nasal, cackling idiot.
What a joke they are.
“ I think the NY Times might be hitting Trump this hard because they fear NY and/or NJ might even be in play.”
Nah, it’s who they are. TDS is real.
ENOUGH of The NY Times!!!! Why do so many Freepers post from that rag?
Harris says the same lines over and over. It doesn’t matter if they have nothing to do with the question she was asked. It’s always the fake, I was raised in the middle class and I love small businesses. That’s her answer on how she will help the economy and lower inflation. Is she too stupid to learn new lines? I get the impression she is.
Has NYT published anything in the last few days that was NOT about Trump?
They seem kind of worried about something...
Yeah...two or three articles today just nitpicking the hell out of anything and everything wrt Trump....just petty, idle nuisance complaining. Que-Mala must REALLY be in bad trouble.
It never hurts to know what the opposition is thinking and saying, and the NY Slimes is one of their main mouthpieces. Safe to say they’re not happy and in a state of panic over this election.
People famous for meandering remarks:
Donald Trump? or Kamala Harris?
People famous for inventing the lightbulb:
Thomas Edison? or Pete Rose?
>> President Trump says the same things today he said 35 years ago. Biden and Harris change their “narratives” every fifteen minutes.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ YES. THIS. ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
IMO it came through most clearly in his debate. kaMAHla was a devious, shape-shifting reptile. Trump was unapologetically genuine Trump. To hell with the silver tongue, I want unvarnished truth.
I hear you, but we know what the Times will spew.
“On the campaign trail, former President Donald J. Trump often takes that to mean he must go off-script”
Trump doesn’t need a “script”. He knows what he believes and he communicates it. He doesn’t need handlers, cue cards and teleprompters.
More “Trump is losing it” bs from the NYT. I wouldn’t care if Trump got as mentally bad, or worse, than Biden. Vance is there to replace Trump.
Even worse, the NT Times covers for Biden now having the functional intelligence of a head of cabbage and Harris giggles and spews gibberish like a Valley Girl with Pseudobulbar Affect.
New York Slimes...”All the News that’s *hit to print”
You can tell NYT articles just by the titles. No need to click.
Just like the article says, what the title calls “meandering”, Trump calls it “weaving”, and it’s done purposely. So there’s really no news here, but nice try, NYT.
They think 50% of Americans are NAZIs.
