Not pay-walled and not worth the read. It's a total opinion hatchet piece meant
to smear, not inform.

"And then there's Donald Trump, who, despite being the only candidate who has
officially announced his bid, is . . . well, ranting like a deranged hobo in a
dilapidated public park. No, don't look at him - he might come over here with
his sign."

Does THAT look like objective "reporting"?

Done.

Trump Has Completely Lost His Grip on Reality

The former president’s deterioration is on full display in the Truth
Social asylum he built for himself.

Let’s check in on the shadow primary for the 2024 Republican
nomination. Nikki Haley is putting together a finance committee, and
suggested last week that she’s “leaning in” to a run. Mike Pompeo has
just published a book called Never Give an Inch, and told CBS
yesterday that he’ll decide whether to enter the fray over the “next
handful of months.” Governor Ron DeSantis has continued to pick
winning fights in Florida since being reelected in a November
landslide, and has stayed assiduously quiet about his future.

And then there’s Donald Trump, who, despite being the only candidate
who has officially announced his bid, is . . . well, ranting like a
deranged hobo in a dilapidated public park. No, don’t look at him — he
might come over here with his sign.

There was a point in time at which Trump’s unusual verbal affect and
singular nose for underutilized wedge issues gave him a competitive
edge. Now? Now, he’s morphing into one of the three witches from
Macbeth. To peruse Trump’s account on Truth Social is to meet a cast
of characters about whom nobody who lives beyond the Trump Extended
Universe could possibly care one whit. Here in the real world, the
border is a catastrophe, inflation is as bad as it’s been in four
decades, interest rates have risen to their highest level in 15 years,
crime is on the up, and the debt continues to mushroom. And yet,
safely ensconced within his own macrocosm, Trump is busy mainlining
Edward Lear. Day in, day out, he rambles about the adventures of Coco
Chow and the Old Broken Crow; the dastardly Unselect Committee; the
(presumably tasty) Stollen Presidential Election; the travails of that
famous law-enforcement agency, the Gestopo; Joe Scarborough’s wife
“Mike”; and other unusual characters from Coromandel. “Where the early
pumpkins blow / In the middle of the woods / Lived the
Yonghy-Bonghy-Bò / Who STOLLE THE ELECTION / Don’t you know?”

These characters come and go as the world passes indifferently by. But
Trump’s heroism remains the one constant. It is the dream of any
artist to play both performer and critic, and, on Truth Social, Trump
is living the dream. At times, his penchant for self-elevation makes
God’s declaration in Genesis “that it was good” look positively
bashful. Apropos of nothing, he will declare to himself: “‘TRUMP WAS
RIGHT ABOUT EVERYTHING’ One of [sic] most often used current phrases
or statements. Wow, such a magnificent compliment. Thank you!” Other
evaluations are equally gushing. His appraisal of the social-media
company of which he is the sole potentate: “TRUTH SOCIAL IS SOOO
GREAT!” His review of his golfing abilities in a competition that,
astonishingly enough, he managed to win despite missing its first day:
“Competed against many fine golfers, and was hitting the ball long and
straight,” which “in a very real way . . . serves as a physical exam,
only MUCH tougher.” His assessment of his presidency, and of the 2020
election that he lost by millions of votes: “I did a GREAT job as
President, maybe the best.” And then: “I Ran twice, did much better
the second time (Rigged Election!)” I tell ya, Charley, I coulda been
a contender.

Throughout his public career, Trump has resembled nothing so much as a
drunken talk-radio caller from Queens, and, on Truth Social, readers
get the treat of watching him at the zenith of his rhetorical powers.
Nobody — and I mean nobody — can shift gears as fast as Donald J.
Trump. One moment he’s proposing that the solution to the Supreme
Court leak is to “arrest the reporter, publisher, editor—you’ll get
your answer fast,” or, if that fails, “put whoever in jail.” The next,
he’s describing the prosecution of his business associate, Allen
Weisselberg, as “the greatest Witch Hunt of all time.” His repertoire
is unmatched — and unmatchable. He can do edgy insult comedy for the
people listening in at the bar: “The reporter was a shaky &
unattractive wack job, known as ‘tough’ but dumb as a rock.” He can
make numbers up off the top of his head: “The change in the Election
was Complete & Total, with Millions of votes switched, at least 17%.”
He can use hyperbolic analogies: “Our Country is SICK inside, very
much like a person dying of Cancer.” He can even do angry: “May he Rot
In Hell!” He can do anything.

Anything, that is, except focus on the world outside — where the
problems that Donald Trump once used to propel himself into the White
House remain real and pressing, whether or not he chooses to engage
with them.

No, it's a hatchet-job on Trump. HOWEVER ... he kinda
DESERVES it. I'd say the opinion was largely correct.

Trump is NOT the choice for 2024. The only reason we have
Joe is because HE WASN'T TRUMP. The only reason GOP can
lose in 2024 is to run Trump again.

Oh, and listening to him the past couple of years, I really
think his brain is going down the same path as Joe's. That's
my honest opinion. He DID have a bad case of Covid and Covid
CAN accelerate dementia ......

So far, DeSantis looks like the best choice by far.
That COULD change however. He's kinda low-key and
if the Dems bring out some Star Power like HRC or
Michelle Obama then a more charismatic personality
will be required as the counter-move. Who ?

Trump needs to take a step or two back, become the 'Yoda'
of MAGA instead of its front man. His personality got him
elected, and then quickly became his downfall. This is
the political reality - so DEAL.

Trump does tend to say stupid things but at least he knows who is wife is and the name of the VP.
Trump would do better if he cut back on the attacks ie:lock her up, kind of crap and stick to the
facts. Push the USA first in everything.

Ironically, that's how we got Trump in 2016. Hillary was such a horrible candidate and at that time
people were sick of the Clintons in general.

I disagree.
Joe is clearly really mentally challenged. Jill had to rescue him the other day. He couldn't
remember the name of his secretary of defense etc.
I don't think Joe knows what planet he lives on.
He's in very bad shape and it shows every single time he speaks publicly.

Trump is a narcissist and says stupid things but I think he has all of his marbles. He just has to
rearrange them a little better.

HRC would be a mistake, but I do believe Michelle Obama could win by a large margin. The problem
she will have is at the rate Joe Biden is destroying the US by the time 2024 rolls around it's
going to be tough to convince voters to vote for more of the left wing policies.
In fact they have had enough already.

People are hard pressed to mention a single thing Joe Biden has done that has been positive for the
American people.

I agree.

True. Trump, while in court for his deposition, was shown a picture of E Jean Carroll, who Trump said he couldn't have raped because she wasn't his
type, and he identified her as "that's my wife, Marla Maples."

It may be strategic to schedule the Republican Convention just
a bit AFTER the DNCs. That way IF they run M.Obama they can
quickly pivot to a more 'charismatic' choice.

But they've gotta HAVE that backup charismatist in the wings.

The DNC kinda did the same thing in 1960 - JFK had the vibe
that could beat a known-quantity like Nixon.

Trump has just become more and more wild in the past couple
of years. He really IS starting to sound like a senile ranter
at this point. Maybe there was just enough cheating to get
Joe elected - but it SHOULD have been a slam-dunk election
for him, Joe losing by the proverbial mile, beyond the help
of any cheating.

Sorry, but Trump just CAN'T be the candidate.

And it's time to have two or three good ones on the shelf,
vetted and well-advertised, ready to go. This is critical
political strategy, the 'war' that's gone on since the
beginning.

The Republican Party sold itself to Trump
entirely. They worship Trump, they believe in
Trump, and they do anything to appease Trump.
Even when Trump insults and berates them career
Republicans just lap it up, Ted Cruz just being
one example.

Why else, for example, is the Republican
party paying private citizen Trump's legal bills?

The Republican Party is paying millions
for Trump�s legal bills.
