Buttigieg slams Trump’s recent appearances: ‘Struggling to maintain a grip on reality’
Washington Examiner ^ | August 9, 2024 10:20 pm | Keely Bastow

While appearing on CNN’s The Source with Kaitlin Collins, Secretary of Transportation Pete Buttigieg criticized former President Donald Trump’s recent public appearances, saying he’s “lost a step.”

“Sometimes you get the feeling that Trump’s heart isn’t in this anymore, the laziness of his attacks, not to mention the, again, lack of any coherent account of what he’s actually going to do to make Americans lives better,” Buttigieg said. “You can just tell that he’s lost a step. You know, he’s getting mushy or fuzzy or more confused.”

Discussing a Thursday press conference Trump held, after which he was accused of rambling and lying, Buttigieg said: “It does raise some real concerns about what’s happened to Donald Trump over the years. Right? Is this a symptom of something? Is he struggling to maintain a grip on reality, or to tell the difference between dreams and what is real or best case scenario, he’s just lying again.”

Trump isn't the one with boob sack strapped on him trying to feed a baby like milk cow. The fool should clean around his own back door before he says anything about anyone else.

What in the hell is wrong with these people?

Oh, I don't know, Buttster - ceaseless legal attacks, 34 phony felony "convictions", and a bullet through the ear might not slow a hero like you down but for a weakling like Trump, maybe so. So you've done what now in four years?

Yesterday he flew cross country to Montana, but had to land in Billings because of mechanical issues with his plane. He then traveled for two hours by car to Bozeman and spoke for an hour and forty six minutes with energetic passion and still had plenty left if he wanted to keep speaking. I doubt the cackling Senator from California could duplicate that even once, and Trump will be maintaining that frenetic pace for the next three months!

Occasionally someone on YouTube will put together a video on the latest Democratic talking point where a dozen or more outlets will use exactly the same words to describe something a Republican has done or stands for. In isolation the media readers sound like they have some legitimate point. But when they’re played one after the other, sometimes with the same cadence, it’s obvious someone is pulling their strings. There seems to be no similar or competing narrative from the conservatives.

You can just tell that he’s lost a step.

I won't even argue this - he's 78 and just went through a traumatic assassination attempt, after all. But he's still better than the guy who lost all of his steps and his VP who never had any steps.

Harris/Walz are now selling the message that there is no need to become a grown-up. Perpetual adolescence is fine, just vote for us and we'll take care of all of those nasty little side-effects of freedom for you. Regrettably, this is not an unpopular platform in today's America.

“… Is he struggling to maintain a grip on reality…”

He knows an entrance from an exit.

I think they are deliberately mistaking increased caution for "losing a step."

Notice there is no mention that Trump just took a bullet for his campaign?

I hate these people so much.
