Thank you for your service

alas, it didn't gift

Good grief, my man's basically an LLM at this point By which I mean, that sure looks like linguistic procedural memory chugging merrily along with little to no executive function constraining it does it not

Thank you. Just unnerving.

Thanks. Really makes the incoherence obvious.

Ooooooof

Sublime

Action alleviates anxiety. Iwillvote.com Ballotpedia.com For the best democracy, please re-skeet.

Thank you for your service

I remember how I laughed at W for his “fool me once” quote. I could never have imagined how far we could fall.

Nailing it with this one. Thank you and a shoutout to @washingtonpost.com for getting it right two days now

Video of Donald Trump staying "on point".

Thank you so SO much for doing this Phillip. I really appreciate your writing and your clarity.

Just reading that hurt my brain. I can only imagine what listening to it, parsing it, transcribing it, and footnoting it must have done to yours. You deserve a raise. Whatever WaPo is paying you is not enough.

The people in that audience HAD to have been paid to be there, to react positively to that spew... They had to be. Right? Please? Omigod we are so fucked.

How dare you quote what he said verbatim?!

That’s some word salad

AUDIENCE PLANT: President Trump: Are Democrats dumb or what? AUDIENCE AT LARGE: [hold breath, cross fingers, lean in] TRUMP: We had a big, beautiful crying man in this country. It was perfect. And then, they... they tried to do them that. I do a rope-a-dope. That's what they don't realize.

thanks for the link

Philip, if there's a Pulitzer Prize for footnotes, may God grant you the recognition you deserve.

I guess his plan for food inflation is a secret deal with China that was ditched during Covid? Or something?

I know the US population is generally economically illiterate, but are there really 100s of millions of people that think tariffs won’t raise prices!? I feel like I’m going insane.

MORE OF THIS, PLEASE! Well done

Wahhh I just want the outcomes of these policies without the social embarrassment of a leader who doesn't hide their necessary cruelty wahhhh

what a comment. please give your keys to your kids.

Does she realize she got gaslit.

She was picked to ask that question.... nothing on the off chance... just like the entirety of this AM's FoxSpew women's town hall was all 100% trump supporting women only....

It asked me to create an account to get my free article. 😕

You are a credit to your profession and your country, Mr. Bump.

Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.

Sweet Jesus

Amazingly, this is the first time in years I think I've seen anyone print his actual remarks instead of what they wish he'd said.

job well done

Amazing

Sadly his supporters mostly can't or don't read

A 78 y.o. candidate struggling (and failing) to maintain a train of thought during a q and a session makes me ask questions about the cruelty of his party's apparatus. Or can't they tell he's not well?

Some of them form sentences! However, never in a coherent fashion.

Even in 2016 I was asking why nobody in the press ever bothered to mention that this clown is a bald faced moron who hardly ever finishes a sentence on the same topic he started with. I have been waiting 8 years for this exact article. Thank you, kind journalist.

It’s a stream of consciousness drivel is what it is….. Trump has no more idea about inflation and economics than my dog… and to listen to the cheers and braying from the audience, neither do most of his dumb followers

Kudos for doing this public service none of your peers in the political press seem to want to do.

The gift link as been sabotaged. It’s demanding I create an account.

He has the best words

I guess it's what the concept of a plan looks like. The prices are high because Hannibal Lecter is eating all the lettuce and his good friend Xi will help him throw the guy out of the country. Problem solved.

When the only tool you have is a hammer, you start thinking that everything is a nail. The only policy Trump bothered to flesh is his mass deportation plan which is entirely based on racist vibes, so when someone asks a question on something else he just draws the racism back into the conversation.

Another bizarre unhinged incoherent rant, how are people still falling for this crap?!

I asked ChatGPT to summarize his answer, but I couldn't understand shit. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Trump realizing he wants a BLT in the middle of his response: “But more people tell me about grocery bills, where the price of bacon, the price of lettuce, the price of tomatoes, they tell me.”

Goddamn Phil. Leave the dancing candidate alone.

Too bad even a gift link to WAPO requires an account.

This is really good. Thank you for doing this - a rare credit to @washingtonpost.com.

Trump voters don't care about inflation. They only want him to turn America into a White Christian ethnostate.

It's like somebody put all the words in the English language in a blender then read them out in the order they reappeared.

Thanks for the gift link. This was perfection.

Well done! Thank you!

And that, boys and girls, is a real-world cognitive test being failed miserably.

He made it totally clear for me. What a mind!

Tangentially, what's the deal with that "darling"? Is he such a weird misogynist that he thinks random strangers would respond positively to being called "darling"? Or is his dementia so advanced that he's confused about who asked the question?

It back starting from scratch but trump would probably be constantly arrested for Cons if he was made penniless as he's never actually understood the value of money.

You're a hero, good sir.

That's word salad of the finest, 1970s-level jello mold style of salad. Orange jello with green olives and pineapple.

Why do I think he's singing 'My way'....

"People want classical politics. Trump is free jazz." -- NYT

I'm not subscribed to WP (and Im not planning to) can someone give the notes?

Behind a pay wall......

My brain after trying to follow this train of thought: youtu.be/8xiWw5dwngc?...

Thank you.

Thanks, I guess... Feel like I lost some brain cells by about footnote #5. =)

13. Election day is November 5th Nicely punctuated!

I'm sold

Thank you for your service

Well that's really something.
