And there’s this: Katie Phang watched him try to get into the truck and noted: “Trump stumbles, drags his right leg, almost falls over, and tries at least three times to open the door…. Some transparency with Trump’s medical records would be nice.” From HC Richardson

🥴? TIA’s? Transient ischemic attacks? In 2019, a neurologist wondered if his difficulty pronouncing and finding words were related to TIA… Unfortunately, the mainstream media doesn’t insist he produced medical record, so will never know

Poor transcription of my audio response 😅

know tRump doesn't drink, but what can explain his staggering around the truck door before finally reaching the door handle? I thought he was stroking out already!

Thank you, David. I appreciate your hard work each weekday pulling the MM together for us.

Good morning, David, your remarks yesterday on expected MSM coverage of the Joe Biden "gaffe", was indeed prescient, as true to form, the WaPo and NYT did their usual Page 1 treatment of a complete non-story, giving the "NYT Pitchbot" ample material for takedown postings. I mean, Biden corrected his remarks almost immediately, anybody could work out that he stumbled in his intent, but NO, suddenly it was the old "How Biden's 'garbage' comment could hurt Harris" treatment. And don't even mention cablenews videos of tRump in his sanitary-worker kit...plus ça change, plus la même chose.

Let’s face it though: Trump looks ridiculous. Am I the only one who remembers Dukakis in the tank in 1988?

His facial "tan" and orange vest were perfectly matched, so there's that.

The media had their double standard back then as well as now. They're probably a lot worse now though. Who can possibly take the jackass Trump seriously?

I still say Hasbro could cash in on a Trump Grievance action figure though.

Oh this is way worse than Dukakis

Maybe why I have cancelled both NYTimes and WaPo. I have lots of wonderful Substack Writers I trust a lot lore!

Fabulous photo of the clown tRUMP, face paint and all.

This was Joe Biden for God's sake , he would never have called people garbage. What he said was "his supporter's garbage" the next thing he said was about the so-called comedienne. I expect this kind of crap from FOX but it is simply unacceptable from so-called reputable media.

Why is there not comparable outrage or more so over this statement by t***p

Donald Trump said yesterday in Wisconsin, that Trump is going to “protect” the women of this country “whether the women like it or not.”

We all know what t***p has been found liable for doing “whether the women like it or not.”

Let's see this plastered across all the front pages, after all t***p IS running for president Biden is not.

When a transcript clearly chooses an elderly man with a history of stammering stammering, reading it incorrectly then reporting it incorrectly is 1,000% choice. There’s no falling for anything. It’s *all* choosing.

Meanwhile, I am so confused that it’s a good thing I voted already because I don’t expect the fog to lift before Tuesday. What’s confusing me is this: how can one *not* call people who call other people vermin without any justification at all garbage? It’s like the clearly incorrect interpretation of what Biden, uh, stammered is the correct interpretation.

Nice reporting, David. Might a offer a super-brief summary? "Nothing to see here, just the death rattle of Democracy."

Someone should tell them that Joe is no longer the candidate!

It would be nice if most of your articles offered in the morning memo didn't come from NYT or Wapo. I've cancelled my subscriptions to both. Maybe start looking for articles from less biased outlets? Thanks.
