Trump Now Says that Obama Will Vote for Him – His Dementia is Getting Worse by the Minute

Posted by on October 11, 2024 at 4:13 pm. 1 Comments :

The heartbreak of mental illness has touched millions of lives. And it is even more grievous when the one suffering has no support from family or friends or others who care enough to intervene and seek treatment. In such cases the poor soul is left to wallow in despair while diverging ever farther from reality.

Barack Obama, Donald Trump

Such is the case with Donald Trump. He has been noticeably demented for several years. His delusions have overtaken any ability to relate to the real world. It’s what causes him to insist that windmills cause cancer, that hurricanes can be stopped by nuking them, that bleach injections cure COVID, that a few thousand people at his rallies are actually 100,000 or more, and that he is leading in all the polls.

SEE THIS: Trump is Suffering From a Severe Case of Self-Deception on a Level Never Seen Before

On Friday morning Trump posted yet another bizarre claim that vividly illustrates the depth of his dementia. The comment on his failing Twitter ripoff, Truth Social, said that…

“Obama admits a total lack of enthusiasm for Kamala, especially with Black Men. I think Obama will be voting for me because he doesn’t like the fact that Kamala is an extremely Low IQ Person!”

There’s a surprising amount of malarkey in that deceptively brief outburst. Let’s begin with Trump’s preposterous claim that former President Barack Obama “admitted” that Black men have a “total lack of enthusiasm” for Kamala Harris. In fact, a broad majority of Black men (77%) support Harris. What Trump is grossly mangling are remarks Obama made about support by Black men not being equal to the level that he received, which was a bit higher. He merely wanted to motivate even more Black men to get behind Harris than the three quarters that already are.

Secondly, Trump’s prediction that Obama will vote for him due to his flagrantly false claim about Harris supporters, is beyond ridiculous. Just yesterday, Obama gave a rousing speech to tens of thousands of people in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, in support of Harris. In what deranged fantasy world would Obama possibly even consider supporting Trump?

Finally, Trump had to tack on another of his infantile insults, calling Harris “an extremely Low IQ Person.” This is nothing new for Trump. He has been saying that about her (and every other person he doesn’t like) for months. But this time he is attributing that opinion to Obama, who obviously has an enormous amount of respect for Harris and her extraordinary abilities and intellect.

Back here on Earth, Trump is the one who is lacking the support of Black men, and women too for that matter. And if the polls are any indication, he’s falling behind Harris among many other critical voter demographics, including youth and the working class. As for intelligence, Trump can’t hope to compete with Harris, and he knows it. That’s why he has steadfastly refused to meet her in another debate after the first walloping he suffered.

So all Trump is left with is his bucket of lies and ludicrous comments like the one above. And with his cognitive functions declining rapidly, he is destined for a brutal final three weeks of this campaign. So expect him to get even worse as he realizes the desperate straits he is in. Particularly since his his post-election prospects include the distinct possibility of prison.

UH-OH! News Corpse Has Been Suspended on Daily Kos

I would like to apologize in advance for this totally self-serving note, but I thought some of my readers might like to know.

Twitter Bird Censorship

Daily Kos has suspended my account because they said my headline was “hyperbolic” and inaccurate. For that they have suspended me for 2 weeks during the most important final days of the presidential election.

This is so frustrating, because they don’t provide any way to appeal or explain their action. So I’m just immediately muzzled, despite my many years as a good faith contributor to the site. The headline on the article in question, and the change made by the site admin, is…

Mine: TYRANT TRUMP Demands that ALL Network TV Licenses Be Revoked and that He Be Declared President
Admin: Trump calls for network broadcast licenses to be revoked and for Democrats to concede election

I suppose the part that they object to is that I said Trump would be declared president. But it’s not much of a distinction from demanding that Harris concede. What would then be the result, other than Trump being de facto declared the winner?

I don’t know why they couldn’t just ask for the change and allow me to continue posting. Also, I am now under a threat of being permanently banned. And I can’t even post any article on the site to inform others there that this occurred. Maybe someone else will.

In the meantime, I hope you all continue to enjoy and benefit from my work to advance progressive causes and candidates, and revealing the dishonesty of right-wing media. And now, on to elect Kamala Harris and every other Democrat running this year.

UPDATE: A Daily Kos member named Shockwave has posted an article about my suspension. It is getting some great comments that are supportive and for which I am grateful. And there’s also a poll with over 5,700 votes where 85% oppose the suspension. Thanks to all.

FOR THE RECORD: This is the third time that Daily Kos has suspended my account. Each of the other times seemed unwarranted to me and were disputed, but no re-consideration was given. They were…

FIRST: An article titled “Trump Posts Video Confirming that He Illegally Bought a Gun that His Campaign Denies He Bought”
Daily Kos asserted that the headline was inaccurate because Trump didn’t actually buy the gun. However, Trump actually did post a video on his Truth Social site that said that he bought the gun. I didn’t say he bought it. The video he posted said that. And that’s what my headline said. So it was totally accurate. But even if they still had a problem with the headline, they could have just asked for it to be changed. Instead. they just suspended my account without consultation or opportunity to appeal.

SECOND: An article titled “Trump’s Truth Social Reports Massive Losses and Warns that it Could Go Out of Business”
Daily Kos pointed out that part of the information in the article was incorrect. That’s because my source, the Hollywood Reporter, modified its article several hours after it was originally published. My reference to it was correct at the time that I read it. So Daily Kos was punishing me for quoting verbatim from a reputable news source that I corroborated from additional sources (NBC News, Forbes), who all reported the same thing. And the change didn’t even affect the substance of the story, just the amount of the loss, which was still huge. They could have alerted me to the update and asked for an edit. but once again, they just suspended my account without consultation or opportunity to appeal.

This latest matter, along with those from the past, are unfortunate incidents that I believe stem from overly sensitive moderators who refuse to consider rational appeals. Consequently, there is nothing that authors on their website can do about it. So now I’m facing a potential permanent ban based on three incidents that should not have been considered violations in the first place. Which raises the question of whether to bother continuing to post there. In the end, it’s the community that makes Daily Kos worthwhile, and if I stay, that will be why.
