So I've previously mentioned Project Lincoln succeeding in winding up Trump by placing a single advert* during his favourite tv show only in DC. Well it turns out, it had such an effect, his own campain have spent upward of four hundred thousand dollars running adverts to counter them...in DC. That's right, over four hundred thousand dollars to convince Trump they are doing something, as realistically, he's the only intended audience, what with DC's voting record.



*This raised their profile and got in donations, and now they are running plenty of attack ads. They are former republicans who hate what Trump did to their party, and know how to appeal to the kind of traditional republican voter who has doubts about Trump. Their first ad was "Mourning in America", riffing off a Reagon one, and one of their recent ones is "Flag of Treason".

1) Rampgate.

Here's Trump's explanation:

I'm not convinced rampgate merits a gate. It could be a physical injury/stiffness after playing golf, he's favouring his left leg like you do when right knee is sore. And he's wearing high heels. And has bone spurs. But also not convinced the ramp was "very long" or "very steep", and the "final ten feet" is more like two feet, and "ran down" more like "sped up to something less than a jog".

2) Watergate.

Here's the video:

You can see the bra straps of his brace in other pictures taken yesterday. They still haven't figured out how to get the tailoring of the shoulder pads right to disguise the straps. So I think this might just be his right arm is constrained somehow by the brace and he can't lift it enough. Not sure it's a brain problem - brain cells failing to give instructions to the arm - looks more a physical issue with the arm?

Roosevelt convinced many people that he was improving, which he believed to be essential prior to running for public office again.[102] He laboriously taught himself to walk short distances while wearing iron braces on his hips and legs by swiveling his torso, supporting himself with a cane.[103] Roosevelt was careful never to be seen using his wheelchair in public, and great care was taken to prevent any portrayal in the press that would highlight his disability.[104] However, his disability was well known before and during his presidency and became a major part of his image. He usually appeared in public standing upright, supported on one side by an aide or one of his sons.[105]

I know people are talking of him wearing a body brace, but is it possible it's body armour he's wearing, which could also restrict movement to some extent?

Another water drinking fail for lpm.

Woodchopper - really it shouldn't matter, as you say age comes to us all, but for Trump everything about him must be perfect and there's sooooo much denial.

It's not just that - he mocked others over their physical frailties and his lies about being a big strong man are central to his image and appeal.

Of course.

Seeing as he has done it again it looks like he has trouble moving his right hand above the level of his chin. Probably an injury to his shoulder. Maybe caused by golf.

But as he is vain no one has stated what's wrong.

That doesn't account for his right hand at Veterans Day - when he had to stop it rising

This thread may have some Covid stuff in recently, not sure it’s a Covid thread as such though.

He's losing the ability to lie convincingly - his brain is only capable of telling lies, no longer capable of judging which lies might work.

Tremendous. You know, a lot of people are saying, they're saying we have the best mods in the world.

At the White House, Trump revealed his thoughts on the efficacy of testing.

“If we stop testing right now,” the president said, “we’d have very few cases, if any.”
