Trump is ‘more of an entertainer’ than a political leader: Brendan Buck on speech going awry

He is a combination of Elvis and Ralph Cramden.

You are misrepresenting what he is doing here… this is a sign of dementia. He keeps going to this story, over and over, it's out of context, it makes little sense and he does it when he's lost his place. You also need to point out how he is literally reading the "stage instructions" during his speeches on multiple occasions and having phonemic paraphasias over and over again. He literally has brain damage – there is a REASON he was given two cognitive tests. FFS.

Trump is hilarious 😆

Unhinged is what he is! The man is mad. If you want to ruin your great country, then vote Trump.
He is insane!

Its both, sad and crazy that in a journals tone and vouce its casually being talked about who can be the best butt kisser and having an administration tgat will be unchecked like these are normals….poor America

While Trump must be a good 'entertainer' as he lines, but I have never found him entertaining

I dispute that President Biden does have that "energy" that Trump does. Biden has the energy it just different. Focused on the election. Not a man.

Trump really is like Jesus.

Trump is not a politician.

Trump can not read

We don't know who he is?

34 felonies on Trump belt?

Now, you tell me who he is???

Sorry guys Biden is just old and is affecting him i would vote RFK

Trump is better than msnbc

Trump is like George Santos – it runs in the family.

How would it be if we, the USA electorate had better choices than Biden v Trump ?
They both are horrible candidates.
WE ALL KNOW THIS. Like no one anywhere in this vast USA would be better ?

Mr. Buck is right on point as to Mr. Biden's problem. How have HIS accomplishments "trickled down" to average Americans, to use a phrase that failed other presidents who used it in reference to economic well-being.

The infrastructure bill was a giant political accomplishment that Trump claimed he was going to have and never did. For a year at least, I've been saying that voters don't care how savvy you are at persuading lawmakers in Washington to pass bills if those bills don't have a visible (trickle down) effect on the lives of average people. I've been pleading with Biden and Buttigieg in these comments to go to places where infrastructure projects have been completed, no matter how small. You had Biden, Beshear, McConnell and DeWine show up for groundbreaking of the new bridge across the Ohio River. What they didn't say was that there was a good chance two of them could be retired or dead by the time cars are crossing that bridge.

OK. Anyone with a brain knows you don't build a bridge across a major waterway in six months. (Buttigieg ducked a question recently about how long it was going to take to replace the bridge over Baltimore Harbor for that very reason.) But you can repair a 100-foot covered bridge in Maine in a year and a half, so that it is again safe to use. Why don't we see Buttigieg driving across such a bridge with a local farmer? It is such small projects — renovating a small rural airport also comes to mind – that should have been put on the front burner and completed by now, to be showcased during this campaign.

The airwaves should be flooded with commercials with diabetes patients saying that they now have enough money to go to their kid's college graduation this month because they don't have to pay as much for insulin as under Trump, so there was something to show the people besides political savvy.

I find that they have ways to sell their accomplishments and either have ignored them or aren't pushing them. All we get is talk, talk, talk. We know that Trump is all hot air. For God's sake, demonstrate that Biden isn't. With the preferences of the electorate having remained static for the last five months, I find it wishful, George McGovernish thinking, to trot out the "five months is a lifetime in politics" cliché, when the last five months have proved it isn't.

Then there's the debate. I am not sure it is going to make any difference what Biden says as long as he sounds like Parker Fennelly telling us that "Pepperidge Farms remembers," that is, as long as he sounds like a well-meaning, cute old man who should be in a rocking chair talking about baking cookies. He should have had media advisers who told him just that, say, back in 2022, and explained how that was going to be a drag on a reelection campaign. Trump's voice is also rather high-pitched, but much more resonant. He sounds like he's channeling Freddie Blassie, as I have pointed out before, not Parker Fennelly.

There's always the possibility that Trump will collapse and have to be rushed to a hospital during the debate and Biden will stand there calmly and wish him well, but we can hardly count on that or want Biden to win in that manner.

Right now, I fear we are going to have a repeat of 1980, when a huge majority of wavering and undecided voters break for Trump over the last five days of the campaign, as they did for Reagan. But even if that doesn't happen, it's Biden who needs to add about 7 million voters to his side of the equation to win the Electoral College between now and November. Can anyone explain why that would happen, barring some catastrophic mistake or physical problem suffered by Trump?

Hes an EVIL CLOWN
